JohnBurns Campfire Ranger Registered: 09/17/09 Posts: 2169 Loc: Wyoming	Originally Posted By: TannerGun Thinking that Burns's turret doesn't actually do anything, he and the guys he hunts with are just really good at guessing holdover Just think good editing and Hollywood Special Effects. _________________________ John Burns

Ackleyfan Campfire Guide Registered: 03/10/02 Posts: 4917	Originally Posted By: Fotis Originally Posted By: CreekWarrior The CDS comes with an MOA turret that is not one rotation limited, therefore it will operate to the technical limits of the scope - just like an M1. The CDS and M1 turret will do the same things on similar scopes. The CDS has a zero stop feature. The CDS turret is lower profile than the M1. The M1 does have the "cool look" factor. I have used both turrets. Some say the CDS turret can "unknowningly" spin out of adjustment in scabboards and such - I have never encountered this problem. On a hunting rifle I prefer the CDS due to the lower profile and zero stop. On a long range or similar rig I prefer the M1 or Target turrets. YMMV I agree 100%. Here is my 4.5x14x40 LR 30mm tube. Love the low profile. No zero stops. Why no zero stops... exspecially on the windage knob?

SU35 Campfire 'Bwana Registered: 08/13/02 Posts: 11320 Loc: Northern Arizona	Might have missed it but am surprised no one mentioned that on a 1" scope tube you only have just so much elevation clicks. With a 100 yd zero you'll need to shim the rear base if you want to get out past 650 or 700 yards depending on cartridge. I prefer M1's over the CDS when I have gloves on in cold weather. _________________________ wtb Tikka T3 Lite 6.5x55

Tanner Campfire Outfitter Registered: 02/28/11 Posts: 8008 Loc: High Country Colorado	SU, on the 3.5-10x40 Vari-X III Tactical I'm using on the 243 right now, I had to stick some Burris Signature Zees on a cheapo Weaver 20 MOA base to have some elevation to play with. Using the 20 and 10 inserts, I've got about 40 Minutes to play with from a 100 yard zero.

TWR Campfire Guide Registered: 11/21/06 Posts: 4342	I got my custom dials for my 22-250, it goes to 700 and a few clicks left over. The 243AI goes to 750 and a few clicks. I haven't really played with em yet but for a couple of mountain rifles, they should be fine. I have a few M1's and hate the target turrets, even paid to have them changed to M1's last summer on one scope. Different strokes... _________________________ Misspelled words courtesy of the I phone and autocorrect.

If the CDS elevation was labeled similar to the windage I'd be much more inclined to roll that way. _________________________ Aim High................That's a long shot!!!
