I don't know if it's my internet connection or not-but every time I open Luepy's website there's something new. Anyone familiar with a VX-6 CDS-ZL ? Or the Wind-Plex reticle ?
Thanks, Steve

From the leupold website...new for 2015
Ingrained with the thrill of the hunt, the new VX-3 drastically improves optical performance, mechanical function, and durability. We've pushed it to the limit, so you can push yourself to yours. And now with the Custom Dial System (CDS), you can now own a scope that precisely matches your rifle's ballistics.
So there is the answer to the closeout vx3 cds...

I just learned from Leupold cs. The CDS-ZL means the Wind-Plex reticle. It's a duplex with hash marks for windage, since the CDS handles bdc. Should be out in a month or two.
AKw, Thanks I didn't realize that VX3 CDS were on closeout.

I noticed mention of the windplex on their website a month or so ago, but have not been able to find a picture of it. If set up correctly, I think it'll make the CDS scope a real winner.

Correction to my previous post. Leupold tech spec just emailed me; ZL stands for Zero-Lock Here's the text of the email; . Steve,
The CDS-ZL is going to have a push button that will lock the adjustment, ZL stands for "Zero-Lock"

So a Zero - Lock with wind plex reticle. Cool. Did they mention if they changed any of the guts? I'm thinking the quote I pulled off the website above was still from the vx-3 introduction, and what is "new" is the zl and reticle...

They didn't mention any other changes, I'm guessing that will be at Shot Show. I see the VX6-ZL lists for about $125 more then similar VX6, so it might be more then just the lock-but not enough to be a different model. Anyone have experience with the MK6 or MK8 with ZL ? It could be similar.

I hope they offer the same reticle without the firedot on the VX3 line, or at least retrofit that it thru the Custom Shop on older CDS scopes.

Anyone seen a pic of the ZL thing?
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Take a look at the website. There is a better pic that shoes the ZL. Appears to be a small tab that one can depress to lock the setting.

Thanks, I missed that. For some reason it's only shown with the 2-12 VX6.

OK, that makes sense.
All the talk about the CDS moving too easily, this lock will fix that...

Keep us posted.
Looks like a good idea, no spinning CDS with this thing, the turret all locked up.
