The 3-18X50. Wondering that myself. Guess I'll find out. Mostly I wanted the Illum and reticle. Zero Lock seemed a bonus. I'm going from VX3 to the 6 for the glass and eyebox.

Looks like the Vx6 line wind plex all have the firedot, hoping they will offer a choice of the plain windplex!

Yeah, they need to offer the Windplex without Firedot.
With these new VX-6 offerings, do we get close out prices on the std. VX-6's...??

wonder if the ZL will be an option for sending existing VX-6's into the custom shop for a retrofit...

Any idea as to when these will actually be available? My oldest son is thinking this would be ideal on his .270WSM
Those that have the CDS on a VX-6, how's it been working? Reliable and repeatable?

I e-mailed Leupold and the answer I got was yes, it will be available as a retrofit but they didn't have details or a timeline yet. Being able to add the locking feature to a VX-6 or VX-3 will go a long ways towards making the CDS the perfect hunting turret.

I've never had a CDS to spontaneously turn. To those who have or who are concerned, this lock seems to be the answer.

I got a CDS MOA zero stop dial for my VX-6, but haven't installed it yet. The dial seemed small for the scope, almost like it's a dial for a VX-3. Are the CDS dials all the same size?

DF That'll be a deal maker for a lot of folks. I was interested in one for my son's graduation build but finally let him in on the secret and an HD5 2-10 got the nod. Still, I'm one of those that doesn't have a CDS type turret and wouldn't have one without a lock. Getting things together for my own 6.5x55 build this summer and the Loopy Lock will get a good look.

I checked mine, I have a VX-3 CDS and a VX-6 CDS-ZL. the dial on the 6 is considerably larger. I don't know if it's due to the difference between 1" tube and 30mm tube.

I do as well. Main difference is VX3 is 15MOA per turn vs 20MOA per turn with VX6, probably due to internals/30mm tube as SteveG says. None of my CDS dials have ever inadvertently moved, whether VX3 or VX6. Even if they do, the zero stop is foolproof. You could make sure it's back to zero in pitch dark.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

It's the difference in turrets, not 1" vs. 30mm tube size. They could probably have put VX-3 type turrets on the VX-6, but they designed a different turret system for the VX-6. Why, I don't know, but feel sure they do... Anyway, it's a different set up. DF
