+1 on the Sigs... What a great little thing to be able to do. Tremendous grip with the inserts to boot.

If only one could have Talley's or similar with eccentric live centers all would be right with the world. A "free" 15-20MOA sans stress, a rail, and/or ring marks would easily be worth $100/set.

Yup. I'm often debating between Burris Sig rings or Talley LW's. I wish Talley would make the LW's with synthetic inserts. Like you say, that would completely eliminate the need that some guys feel to lap their rings, line the rings with electrical tape to prevent ring marks, and would also give the advantage of adding some elevation (which would be variable, depending on which inserts you use, and what the ring spacing is like) without having to go with a heavy 20MOA rail/ring setup.

Not sure if they make one for Kimbers but Dednutz makes one for 700's. I use one and think it's the best thing going if your wanting light weight.

Scope is on its way, decided on the CDS for this rifle for its low profile and already having the LR duplex. Just standard dial, not custom with load info. For an upcoming rifle I have in mind I'll go M1.

Less than two weeks from sending it out to getting it back. That's quick.

I wonder why Burris does not make DD bases for their DD signature rings?

Just got my VX-3 3.5-10 scope in today, optics planet is still offering $30 off and free shipping on top of the $80 leupold rebate a great deal if you ask me .. anyways still haven't reached a consensus which turret to get CDS custom moa markings and zero stop or M1 for deer / groundhog hunting sportier 6-700 yards probably tops .. any other info that should be rained down on me?

I went with the CDS with MOA markings, The CDS came free with the scope so thats the way I went. I also wanted the zero stop. The M1 total cost on this scope woulb be 150.00 if I understood him correctly.

If I ever do get one particular load/bullet that I want an actual custom CDS dial made up with yardage markings, that would be 60 bucks. Done deal.This is for a varmit/target rifle.

Myself, I'm not into turret twisting for Big Game, I don't want to worry about things moving without my permission,

Lets be honest, you can aim at Hair with most center-fire rifles out to 350-400 yards, that will cover 99% of all situations.

when you send in a turret to get engraved do you have to send the scope in as well?

You don't send a turret in. They send you a new turret burned to your specs. Loosen the set screws on the CDS or M1 to remove. Reverse steps to install custom dial.
