New CDS user here, and I wanted to see what the options were for not using the CDS turret. I bought a used VX2 with the CDS turret set up for a round that I don’t and won’t have. What are my options besides sending in for a new turret? Can I just use it as a regular old windage/elevation knob? Am I stuck needing to replace the one on there?

CDS is The Cough Silencer of scopes and stands for Kchunts Don't Shoot. Hint................

To actually answer your question, which a few are inept to do:

Yes you can use it as a standard set and forget turret. Adjustment is the same.

'HNTR,

Don't worry about me,I'll be fine. Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............





KenBitchAgain,

It is fascinatingly HILARIOUS,that you feel the perpetual need to reiterate,that besides being a CLUELESS Kchunt,that you are also a Lying Piece Of Fhuqking Schit. Hint. Congratulations?!?

Bless your poor poor(literally) heart,for "living" vicariously.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............






Reupold's as a whole and VX2's in particular,are steaming piles of fhuqking schit. Hint.

CDS is a Blue Haired Cat Lady Melting Snowflake Fairy Tale,to soothe Crying Karens who don't fhuqking shoot. One cain't affix enough stickers upon same,to meld Mechanics. Hint.

Just sayin'..................

I'd be looking for the antithesis of Reupold and opt a bullet steering device that tracks,repeats,holds zero and wears an effective reticle. Hint.







Though I actually shoot and such things just "happen" to make a fhuqk. Hint....................

As mentioned you can swap out back to old turrets or have a new one made to your specifications.
If you don’t dial 100 times every time you go out shooting, throw on the ground, leave it in creeks or some sort of extreme like that. That vx2 will work just fine. I have one in 3-9 on my 270 and it’s spot on. Once in a while going back to 0 at 200 it shoots about 1/2 MOA high. I know this and doesnt bother me.
Put tiny Di*k on ignore like ALOT of other members did to him. Majority are Over trying to decipher his 2nd grade writing skills, chit attitude, old pics …it gets old. Plus I like to pretend and laugh and not take hints or look at same old pics everyone has seen 1000 times. Actually little surprised he didn’t post all the boxes of Athlons and arkens

All of them do something better than the 30-06, but none of them do everything as well.

Thanks for the info, guys.

Dre… I know the type, and just like to toy with them a bit.

BS… thanks for the recommendation, but the VX2 will serve me well in the PA woods for whitetail. I wish I had the space and tools to use that Barrett though… just not practical for what I do.

As the others said you can use as is and just count clicks, or set and forget.

I've got 5 CDS scopes and only had 1 dial made so far and that's for my 3Gun 1-6X. The majotrity I leave in MOA and either use the dope taped to my stock or Strelok. I'm often changing my loads, or the conditions change to much due to travelling to use the actual CDS feature.

As for "little dick", I made use of the ignore function the 1st week I was here. My time's too valuable to trifle with azzclowns.

That is why Leupold continues to sell scopes the way they do. Why fix something that people will accept? To me, shoot what you want, but an optic that does that isn't really reliable. It's akin to my truck only going into 4wd when it wants.
