15 MOA will cover 99% of what 99% of people "need" in a hunting rig. CDS isn't not a bad idea, just poor execution.

How many revolutions past zero was that M1 spun, 3 or 3.5 or 6? ![[Linked Image]](http://i756.photobucket.com/albums/xx210/16bore/CDS_MOD.jpg) yes that is zero (it's my scope, my rifle), but that set-up used up a bunch of elevation getting a zero. more than usual. I later shimmed those mounts to get a bunch of elevation back.

The one on my M70 looks the same. Dunno about needing it. Pretty much for showing off at the range. Never dialed a critter with it and most likely won't need to anyway...

I have been running a 3.5-10x CDS for the past four years on my main hunting rifle. I bought two of these scopes in 2010 when they came with two custom dials. I ordered two for the one rifle and it works great but it really limits you to one load out to around 650-700 yards. I ordered the other two dials today to be just like the dial in the middle above with a zero stop. I do like the CDS for it's low profile but those M1's are really the way to go.
You'd better be posting pics when they come in.... Got these today. I asked them to shorten the half minute but that is not what they did. I'll call em tomorrow and see what they say about it. ![[Linked Image]](http://i789.photobucket.com/albums/yy178/Higbean/78EBE697-F841-4308-83F8-09E7DBAB3368_zpskotioa6w.jpg)

Schit, I like it. Tons better than the original. I don't know why they haven't been doing them like that all along.

that version looks serviceable but so does 16bore's version. wish they came that way. missed this: How many revolutions past zero was that M1 spun, 3 or 3.5 or 6? yes that is zero (it's my scope, my rifle), but that set-up used up a bunch of elevation getting a zero. more than usual. I later shimmed those mounts to get a bunch of elevation back. Your scope in the pic? I thought I just cut and pasted that schit from google to make the Leupie mock-up.

Why did you want a shorter half minute?
And if I want one like yours do I ask Leupold for the Higbean Special?

Easier to read is all. Leupold told me they do them like this quite a bit.

@ toad- thats pretty damn funny because I did the mock up at work and just hit google images. Leupolds website is danger, danger according to the IT department. Very bad stuff...
@hibeam- I'm starting to think a 1/4 min mark thats 1/4 length, then 1/2 MOA mark thats half length and 3/4 mark thats 3/4 length might be something to think about.
