I have two of the Leupold VX-6 scopes. A 2-12 on a .270 Win, and a 3-18 on a .300 WSM. I can't say enough about them. Both have CDS dials and duplex reticles. (The 3-18 is a "fine duplex"). They have exhibited no problems with repeatability from turret twisting, both have a zero stop, and are a nice low profile. These are my first experience with a thirty mm tube. The brightness is amazing. It is very simple to order the CDS dials, and the longest I waited for one was 10 days. The zero stop comes with the CDS dial and is dirt simple to install.Wsmnut
So I have finally settled on a scope I had decided on a Mark 4 but while at the Portland Sportsmans show I got my hands one one of the new VX6's! It is EXACTLY what I have been looking for! 3-18x50, capped windage, zero stop, or in this case zero lock as the turret has a button which locks it at zero. Model comes with a single rotation turret but their custom shop will do a double rotation turret. Undecided on if I'll go double rotation as I'm going to have the ts32x1 reticle installed in it which will give me 32 MOA worth of hold over just in the reticle. Scope is like 20 Oz so weight will be a nice savings.
RE: Leupold VX6Do they make the CDS dial to match your load exactly, or do they have say a dozen different dials and they send you the closest? With huskemaw they make the dial to exactly match your load, I'm told you turn it to 600 yards and it should be right on.

With huskemaw they make the dial to exactly match your load, I'm told you turn it to 600 yards and it should be right on. They are made to your exact loads and data. I'll be sticking with the MOA dial as I prefer it over a cds as I hunt many different elevations and weather conditions. Just a personal preference.
Run some numbers. I think you might be suprised
Always got to one up... That will be a nice scope.. When I looked through that reticle I forgot what I was doing with all the dots... Not surprised though with my simple mind... Keep us posted...
