The CDS dials for the 2-12x42 are available now. Here's mine, for a 7mag, 168VLD's @ 3030 fps zeroed at 100, gets me past 900 with 1 turn.....

DF - good points and I hear you.
I have paid $1100-1200 for each of my 2 diavaris - both 2.5-10x42 and thinking of a snagging a 2.5-10x50 for $1050 of the sample list.
Those diavari's, that one in particular, are world class no doubt, and probably the favorite scope I've ever looked through, but have no actual use with. Someone needs to ask the mullets at Zeiss why they don't make them anymore.

Why they discontinued it is beyond me. Others will disagree but i see no benefit to the 1.5-6x42 they left in the product line up. Of course as I state previously I was ready to pounce on the vx6 when it was announced a LOnG time ago, got impatient, and ended up with the zeiss I would like to mess with the vx6

JG, Have you/did you use the turrets before your custom turret? This is likely a stupid question but.......you get the same distance weather custom or standard turret yes?
I'm wanting this scope for a future 243/105gr bullet build. Would love to use this scope if it'll have enough adjustment. Was gonna order one and just switch to m1's if it didn't work out. After talking to 3 people at Leupold they finally told me that adding m1's isn't a option for the v6's due to the pop up turret system...understood. I've always been happy with the 3.5-10's but would like to try some of this better type glass. Thanks

You still get the 20 MOA per revolution with the standard turrets the VX6 comes with. They pop up and are resettable, and have the cover like the windage turret in the picture. The glass is noticeably better in the VX6 to me than my VX3, which I find excellent in itself. I also really like the fast focus euro focuser.

Ok so if u get the custom dial it's like a regular cds and isn't pop up? I "think" I would like that better than the pop up...really shouldn't say since I've not handled/used the pop up. While I'm not sayin they are better/worse I should probably try them before I form an opinion.

KDK,
Do you have a weight on that one? Just what you get off of the internet... 16.8/17.8 non illuminated/illuminated.
This is a shooting forum, there is no place here for logic.

DF, I don't have a clue on the difference. I've not seen the model VX6 you have.
Kaleb, no pop up turret, or turret cover with the VX6 CDS.

I just got my VX-6 2 x 12 out to the range Sunday. Replaced a VX-3. Unbelievable difference to me. Very bright and crisp. I am no expert but am very happy with my purchase. Still waiting for the CDS dial. Can't wait to play with that!

Kaleb, no pop up turret, or turret cover with the VX6 CDS. I was reading that there was a difference between these two. Will check it out and report what I learn. DF

So, it's the VX-6 1-6x24 CDS that's not available, if I remember from earlier posts.
Explain to me the difference between the 1-6x24 turret and the 2-12x42 turret. I didn't fully understand what I read when that was discussed.
DF
The 2-12x42 has MOA adjustments. The CDS knobs are available for them now as JG obviously has shown. The 1-6x24 with German #4 has 1/10th mil adjustments. According to Leupold the CDS knobs will not be available for the 1/10th mil scopes until the fall.
