I have two solutions now, not exactly what I wanted but adequately close enough. I'm not a big fan of CDS, but .. but.

So, first solution: I have a Leupold 4.5-14X AO/FD/CDS on my Kimber .257 Roberts for load testing. Eventually I wanted to put a 2.5-8X on it and I prefer B&C. I found one last one of those scopes at Graf's and ordered it. That will free up the 4.5-14x.

Second solution: though the vari x / vx "II" scopes are discontinued, Cabela's has a few 6-18X AOs with CDS and windplex. I ordered one of those, too.

Thanks, all, for the thoughts / input / inspiration.
