Thread: Leupolds to get cds?

I'm probably missing something, but can't see the big deal with CDS.

To dial accurately, you need to know the distance, so you're more than likely going to be using a range finder, right ? Once you have the range, you need to dial the appropriate number of clicks.

So just work out a dope chart for the distances you are likely to shoot, laminate it and stick it to the side of your stock... Easy as to do this if you shoot different loads (general hunting, varmint, subs) thru the same gun.

Sure, it's nice to have CDS, and I can understand if you get it as an option when buying a new scope, but is it really worth sending a scope away for months and paying shipping etc ?

Also, unless CDS is in MOA or MILS, if you change your load you need new turrets... Even if you shoot with the same load on an unusually warm day or at big altitude difference from where you zero, the CDS dial is not going to be accurate...
