lionhunter Report post Posted December 20, 2015 I am sending a 4.5x14 Leupold vxL in to have a turret added..... My choices are the CDs or the m1 turret. Can anyone tell me the pros and cons of each Thanks Whitey Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
STOMP442 Report post Posted December 20, 2015 I like the M1 because it is not load specific just simple moa adjustments. The cds turret works with one load at one elevation and temperature. If you change bullet weights or types, or powder for any reason your cds turret is essentially useless because your ballistics are different than what the turret was designed for. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Titanium700 Report post Posted December 21, 2015 Yes. I prefer the M1 but you can use the cds dial exactly like the M1 too. Many people don't realize that. It's just lower profile. Or load up a certain bullet certain velocity certain certain blah blah blah and get the custom cds dial. For the record I like cds dials too. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike S Report post Posted December 21, 2015 I had my Vari X 3 2.5x8 retrofit with a CDS MOA zerostop dial 3 years ago and have been happy with it. It has the zero stop which I like. It's in MOA so I can customize my come ups to the individual load and atmospherics and it has a low profile compared to the M1s . The only downside I see is I only get one revolution of the dial (12 MOA) but that can take me to 700+ yards with any of my loads and that's plenty far for a 7.5 pound hunting rig. I have about 1500 rounds downrange with that scope and have not had any issues. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big or Bust Report post Posted December 22, 2015 M1 way better in all ways. A CDS can be in 1/4" MOA as well. I have 3. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lionhunter Report post Posted December 24, 2015 I will definitely set up the turret with moa either way I go! ( been down the custom yardage turret before, and will not do it again). Thanks for info guys... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
