I recently sold my VX6 and apparently the Allen key is not in the box. Understandably, the purchaser wants it.
I had a look on my bench and quickly found several keys all of different sizes. I'm fucked if I know which is the right one?
Can someone who has one have a quick measure and please let me know? I'm assuming it's the .50 but I want to be certain.
Cheers in advance :)
@BRADS ....you have a few right?
@veitnamcam may also know mate
Yeah I have a spare pm me with where it's going mate I'll send it tomorrow
I can't find the size but think it's 1/16??

None of mine have come with the key?
Its bloody small, I have one in my range finder case I could measure.
If you could Cam, I would appreciate it. I'm going to take Duncan up on his kind offer but it would still be good to know for future reference.Quote:

1/16" is too big
I think it is 1/20" SAE or 0.050.

The size for the CDS turret is 0.050
I just double checked for you. My CDS never came withan allen key, I had to get one from my local engineer supplies store. Only a couple of bucks for a good quality one.

Thank you all gentlemen :)
Yep absolutely can confirm that's the size for my vx3 3-9 CDS - and my key did come in my box ... Guess I was lucky.Quote:

I had a standard MOA elevation turret installed last year. I got my VX3 LR before they started coming from the factory standard with them.

hay mate I had this same problem only this week and ferk if I could find the right key from the shop but in the end it turns out to be a 1mm key to get it going tried 1/8key but to small
Leupold are just bastards when it comes to their turret key sizes, the one on my VX 7 is a proper odd ball pain in the arse size :XD:
The VX 7 can be 1.22mm , 1.44mm or 1.65mmQuote:

For future reference for myself and anyone else who always loses shit - VX3 CDS turrets are 0.050" size allen keys. Picked one up and George Henry and Co for $3.
Be imperial as it’s yank shit.
