I was talking with a leupold product specialist about CDS turrets for my new VX6 3-18x44 scope, It has tall target turrets not the normal short CDS turrets, Which is was kind of strange becuase i didnt even know they offered tall turrets on the 3-18. I asked him what my options were for getting CDS dials on my scope. Well long story short he sent me a picture of the newest turrets available. Im getting them for my scope, eleivation turret marked 0-19moa with resettable zero stop and windadge marked 0-10moa left and 0-10moa right. here is the picture of the new "tactical turrets.

NICE! That is exactly what I want. I am waiting for my scope to arrive from Leupold. I sent it back to them because it wouldn't track properly. Problem was I was using a std base and rings on my 338 RUM. Too big a scope for that mounting system on a hard kicker.
Bought and mounted the Mark 4 base with 15 MOA and a set of PRW rings. I also had Leupold add the new Wind Plex reticle and ordered the custom CDS dial. Looking forward to getting it back zeroed and start shooting crop damage deer in 3 weeks.

I asked about getting M1 type dials and was told they didn't have them for the VX-6.
I'm looking forward to hearing how you like these tactical dials.

JD338

Just the right size, if the clicks are as positive as the M1's they will have a winner.........assuming the scope will track accurately!

Danny, did you end up having these turrets installed? I'm looking at having some put on my VX-6 too. I believe these are called M3 turrets, and Leupold did tell me they are compatible with the VX-6. I'm just wondering how the CDS version looks - do they have MOA hash marks on the bottom and BDC numbers above?

Are these just available on the VX6? I like them.

So are these one revolution only turrets like the other cds knobs with the zero stop feature?

I don't know exactly what to call these turrets, but they're the same size and shape as the M2 and M3 turrets that you can get on some of the Mark 4 scopes. The difference is that M2 are 1/2 MOA clicks and M3 are 1 MOA clicks for elevation. Supposedly these have the zero stop feature but they allow for 2 full turns. I'm still waiting for some definitive pictures from someone that's had them installed!

Been shooting through a VX6 CDS for several months on a rifle. I'm gonna need to check into these turrets!

Same here.

Nice, Leupold is getting smarter.

Anything new on these? if i can retrofit them on vx3 and vx2 scopes with the slim cds elevation turrets already on them i need 3.

I to was wondering if they fit vx3

Look at the new retrofit turrets for VX2 and better...very similar to these.

Sorry I didn't update sooner. Yes I ordered the CDs tall tatical turrets. Should be getting them pretty soon 3weeks or less. They are not like regular CDs dials you get multiple revolutions from your zero stop that you set.

You don't have to send the scope in to have them installed they mount just like that factory TALL target turrets. You might have to send yours in if they aren't the target turret size.

They are only made for the VX6. But leupold just came out with new S1 dials mounts to any scope, kind of like a Stoney point turret but way better and zero stop.

Found out that the Leupold Mark AR tactical scope turret is a direct replacement for the cds dial on vx-2 and vx-3 scopes. A little larger and more aggresive knurling, Leupold can engrave however you want them

Thats interesting, as I have a few of the Mark AR scopes. If the turrets will interchange, I wonder how difficult it would be to adapt a zero stop to the Mark AR?

Anyone get one of these tall ones yet

Good to know.

Thanks!

Just wondering if anyone has done this and what direction you gave Leupold for the P5 cap as they are a mil turret with replacing the MOA CDS.

I have 3 blank Mark AR turrets on order through the Australian version of the leupold custom shop. It was them that informed me these turrets would work as a direct replacement for the cds caps. They will be blank on top and custom engraved the same as the pic in the middle.

Is this "ZL" the new tactical reticle the op is talking about?

Nope: Here is a better pic on the 2-12

No they are not the "zero lock" the ones i got are taller then that. They are very nice and I will get some pics up shortly. I dont have the scope mounted yet but they are exactly what i wanted.

I really like the zero stop they did on these. It has reverse threads on an inner sleeve and when you dial it unscrews it until its bottoms out, i can get 41moa from my stop until the dial maxs out.

Leupold needs to listen, or just use common sense.

The windage dial is marked EVERY MOA, but not the elevation dial and the hash marks are too close to the same height.

My elevation dial is marked 0-19moa with every moa marked. My windage is marked 0-10 then back to zero so ten left ten right

Couldn't agree more...

Heres the pics of my turrets.

When you ordered these from Leupold was it through the custom shop or are these just a stocked item? If it was through the custom shop did you get to use your CDS certificate? Do you have part numbers or any order information from your invoice?

I have been trying to figure out what to ask Leupold. I think I have the right thing ordered but it would be nice to verify.

Trackability review and ordering info please
