Leupold CDS Dials..Your experience???

[Bob33]

I have a couple questions about the CDS. Does the CDS have a stop for not turning past your zero? And the other is does the CDS have adjustment covers?

yes and yes

No adjustment covers on mine; none per Leupold

So no lock from bumping it off your "100 yard" zero then sound like a west side disaster waiting to happen

I do have one more question 

Why do you choose the CDS over a MOA w/ a drop chart that can be made to more specifically fit the shooting situation?

speed and simplicity, when hunting you dont always have alot of time to calculate stuff out.

Dial has yardage numbers on it, so a quick glance tells you where zero is at every time

It can happen.  It has happened to me.  Twice.  Very disappointing. I have MOA clicks on my CDS scope, but I suspect the tension is the same.  I stuck a little piece of duct tape on mine to keep it in place.  Funky but it works.
