Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold CDS elev turrets: report

Ok, I'm back. Had some "Honey Do's" to do!

As I said earlier, I would re-zero the scope for 100 yds; NOT POSSIBLE! The way Leupold built the scope, I can't zero it for 100 yds. Here, I'll show you.

When the dial is removed, their is a small, upward protrusion as part of the elev housing. It's just above the small white line at the 6-o'clock position of the elev housing.





Then, when looking at the underneath side of the dial, their is a small steel bearing, implanted in the ceiling of the dial that butt's up against the small steel upright of the elev housing as it spins around. Thus, a 100 yd zero is not possible. In fact, when I get a 200 yd zero, verified again today, I barely have enough room to the get 200 yd zero. I can only go about 1/2 click below 200.
