Thread: Leupold screw on Dials (SOD)

I once did a dialling tracking test with my VX-1 and it was pretty good over the 10 MOA I tested.
Apologies for the convoluted explanation of the test: FishnHunt - New Zealands Famous Hunting and Fishing Forum Since 1995 - Leupold VX-1 2-7 tracking test
At $179, the screw on turret would be worthwhile on a VX3 but for the VX-1 it could be making a silk purse out of a sow's ear. The base scope only costs $400. It's meant to be a simple piece of kit: just point and shoot.

Remove the cover


Then add the spindle


Then the screw on base


Then the zero stop collar and "E" clip




And lastly the MOA graduated dial


I have been testing it on a factory model 7 in 7mmsaum, 140bt@3200fps, 19 inch barrel.

Its dialling well to 1000yrds -so theres usable life in those old VX-1 Leupolds !!!!!

Ps: i had a very early VX-1 here a month ago and this dial system did not fit it, the slot in the scopes elevation shaft was too low for the cap to drive into, so it seem only the later VX-1 scopes benefit from this system, and every other later VX model.

What powder are you using in your 7 saum for that velocity?

Does any one know if these screw on dials fit on a Leupold made in 2003 ?

Welcome Fragment, feel free to introduce yourself

But these are a great and cheap option for a VX scope if your wanting to dial.
I got mine with out zero stop ball bearing but a 2mm does the job.

Might have to check them out.

Cheers

i didnt think the VX1 scopes were repeatable?

Be good if you could put the s5 on MOA scopes

Pretty cool idea. Makes Leopold alot more appealing. How do the lower end models go repeatability wise?

This VX-1 is dialling perfectly so far, i have dialled many VX-2 models with zero problems

When i have found problems with VX-1 scopes its right from day one, they either work well straight away or they dont

I'm going to have to try these!
