Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold cds ZL question

Correct. They assume that once sighted in, there would be no need to go "below zero" as far as elevation is concerned, which is most likely the case, unless you are using a longer zero range. But, if you have a CDS dial, there would be no real need to use a longer zero range.

You could however, still sight in at 200 or 300 yards. Just set the 200 or 300 mark as your "zero" point on the dial, and then you can still back down to 100 for closer shots. This would be the most accurate way to get a longer shot, than relying on the ballistics factors built in to the dial and your load. But, for most practical purposes, not necessary.

Or sight in and zero for 100, then check at 200 or 300 .


However, you will have to have Leupold build you a custom dial for your gun and load. They will do that for free.
