August 21, 2015 | Leupold Screw On Dial Makes In-the-Field Adjustments Fast, Easy BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., introduces new S1 and S5 screw on dials, easily installed adjustment knobs that make dialing in wind and distance fast and easy. Designed to replace the cap covers on the majority of Leupold's riflescopes, these all-aluminum dials offer large, knurled surfaces so adjustments are easy and sure, even when wearing gloves. The S1 dial is engraved in ¼-MOA increments and the S5 in 0.1 MIL. Both come with a locking zero stop and can be equipped with the Custom Dial System® (CDS®) through the Leupold® Custom Shop. There's no need to send in the riflescope, as these dials are completely user-changeable. Just remove the cap on the adjustment dial, and simply screw the S1 or S5 on in its place. It automatically aligns with the adjustment slot and securely tightens down. Unlike other aftermarket dials, the Leupold S1 and S5 dials completely eliminate backlash. "These screw on dials mean no more lost caps or the need for a coin to make adjustments in the field," said Tim Lesser, director of product development for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. "This is another example of how Leupold listens to our users in the field and then finds a way to make their experience even better." Made from 100% aluminum, the screw on dial is made in the USA in Leupold's Oregon manufacturing facility. It is compatible with most Leupold riflescopes with click adjustments, with the exception of the VX®-1 series and older riflescopes with friction adjustments. Thanks to its simple installation procedure, these dials are interchangeable between different riflescopes in the field. For those with bullet drop compensating reticles, the S1 and S5 are completely compatible. The screw on dials are covered by Leupold's full lifetime guarantee and are available.

This is the picture from the press release. I don't know any more about the dials, just what was in the release. Bob
I met a French guy the other day. I asked him "Do you speak German?" He said "No." I said "You're welcome!"

What I am curious about is the fact that they are available in MOA and MIL..what capped turret scope does Leupold make with MIL adjustments?

Yes, so why would you switch out an UNCAPPED turret with this?

Mk4 with M5 dial is their MIL adjustment scope. I understand that...the P5 dial on the Mark AR Mod 1 is also a MIL...but that does not answer the question as to why they would be swapped if turrets are already present.

It sounds like it's for scopes with no turrets. You can take a VX-2 3x9 or a VX3 2.5x8, etc, with a standard cap and "upgrade"this new MOA/cds adjustable cap.

Again...I get the concept, but am confused by the fact that they offer the new dial in MIL and MOA..the MOA is easy to understand, but the MIL escapes me. As far as I know, Leupold has never made a scope with capped turrets and MIL adjustments

The Euro models have/had mil adjustments and so do the VX6's with #4 reticles.

I'm liking the part where it says "Locking". Zero stop is great and all, but locking is better. The CDS needs a lock too, it spins far too easily.
Life begins at 40. Recoil begins at "Over 40" Coincidence? I don't think so.

Locking is OK, but I will take zero stop over locking any time...and every time.
