Teach every child you meet the importance of forgiveness. It's our only hope of surviving their wrath once they realize just how badly we've screwed things up for them.

Why would Leupold put the spot for a bearing at the #6 hash mark? You'd think they would have it lined up with 0 from the start. Wondering same.

I just looked at three caps and the hole or ball bearing is about 1/4 MOA behind zero, except for one that is real close to being at zero.

............ If you take off the CDS dial cap and look on the inside, there is a spot drilled for a bearing. Not sure where this spot is in relation to the numbers marked outside on other caps, but this one is on the #6 hashmark. Decide where you want your zero stop (exactly @ 0 or a bit past 0) and mark/drill the cap to accomodate the 1/16" bearing. You don't want to go too deep as this will defeat the purpose and the cap will rotate past with nothing to keep it from stopping. For this cap, I set the zero 2 clicks past zero. ![[Linked Image]](http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a286/jmsdad/cap_zps5a2843dc.jpg) ............ Why would Leupold put the spot for a bearing at the #6 hash mark? You'd think they would have it lined up with 0 from the start. I'm guessing the ones that come without a zero stop don't get "clocked" prior to engraving.

Leupold will send it back with a zero stop if you tell them to.

I just took a look at some of my CDS dials. One with a zero stop, others without. The bearing on the zero stop is two hash marks to the right of the zero. The bearing needs to be on the right side of the stop as it turns in that direction. That is why it comes up short on the top end as it will be 4 hash marks short. 2 that you set it back for and 2 for the width of the bearing/stop combo. Savy

Could also be done with a set screw, no? The CDS system does not turn up and down. The dial stays at the same length at all times. I use the set screw system on my older Nightforce scopes without the zero stop and it works perfectly. You could use a set screw, but it would only mark the stop just like the bearing does. The bearing is less work. Or you can epoxy in a 1/16 pin for the same result.

For those like me that could not locate a 1/16th ball bearing, #9 lead shot works well. This modification ranks as one of the top ten things I have learned on the Campfire.
If you can't be a good example, may you at least serve as a dreadful warning
