Hunters and shooters are dialing in and shooting at longer ranges these days. Many manufactures are addressing this with new Ballistic systems. Zeiss has the rapid z system, shown here in this zeiss conquest 3-9×50,backed up by a ballistic calculator, Nightforce has the zero stop feature and it’s own Nightforce ballistic calculator, Swarovski has the Swarovski ballistic turret system and then we come to the topic of today’s blog, the Leupold CDS dial system. The CDS or custom dial system comes on specific models in the Leupold vx-3 and Leupold vx3-l line and is a neat new way to stay on target and shoot farther. When you receive your scope, all you do is contact Leupold with your shipping information and ballistic data and they send you a CDS free. The dial will perfectly match the load and caliber you’re using allowing you to dial in faster, adjust precisely, and you can even get one revolution stops. You can also order multiple dials to suit your different loads. Paired with Leupolds extended twilight lens system, you can really reach out and touch a target even in low light conditions. If you’re looking for a scope with specific dials to match your load and rifle, take a look at Leupolds CDS system. I know reloaders are going to love this system because it can match your hand loads. That’s the word from sportoptics.com.

Leupold CDS system
Thursday, January 28th, 2010leupold vx-3 rifle scopes, which one?
Monday, December 14th, 2009Which Leupold vx-3 for your whitetail rifle?
I just sat down today and started to think about Leupold vx-3 rifle scopes. Which scope would be good for one of my friend’s rifle? I’m sitting here thinking to myself so I decided to talk about it here. With so many great features, my friend was on target when he asked me to help him choose a Leupold scope. One feature all Leupold scopes sport is the xtended Twilight lens system. This system uses different lenses and lens coatings to allow you to see better in lower light conditions by making light spectrums normally hard for human eyes to see more visible. Paired with a scope like this 30mm Leupold vx-3 3.5-10×50 this scope is excellent for lower light conditions. Another neat system for hunters to take advantage of is the CDS or custom dial system, like this Leupold vx-3.5-10×40 cds, which allows the hunter to have an elevation adjustment specific to the caliber of firearm they are using. This is a great feature especially for hunters who need to make longer shots over fields or long food plots. The last cool feature is the Leupold vx-3 line is the Leupold vx-3L system which allows for a larger objected lens to be mounted lower on the firearm by incorporating an indention in the bottom of the bell on the objective lens, found here on this Leupold vx-3l 4.5-14×56. This solved the problem of having your scope mounted low with a large objective lens. If you’re looking for a nice leupold scope to mount on your whitetail rifle, check out the leupold vx-3 or the leupold vx-3L rifle scopes. My friend choose the last scope i have listed the vx-3l 4.5-14×56. You won’t be disappointed to say the very least. That’s the word from sportoptics.com.
Leupold VX-3 and VX-3L Rifle Scopes
Thursday, May 28th, 2009When asked to comment on the new line of VX-3 and VX-3L rifle scopes, Leupold’s marketing communications manager, Mike Slack, responded, “Progress and development should never stop.” Leupold has pushed everything to the limit to make the VX-3 and VX-3L series your new favorite and most copied rifle scope. The Leupold VX-3 and VX-3L rifle scopes have been loaded with optical technologies such as the Xtended Twilight Lens System, DiamondCoat 2 lens coatings, blackened lens edges, second generation waterproofing, a twin bias spring erector system, and cryogenically treated adjustments. All of which are provided by Leupold to help you make your shot.
The Xtended Twilight Lens System of Leupold’s new VX-3 and VX3-L rifle scope series uses the Leupold index matched glass with a wavelength specific lens coating designed to optimize the transmission of low-light wavelengths. It places extra emphasis on matching coating to glass indices to achieve the best possible transmission of the blue/violet light spectrum that takes over your eyes at twilight hours. Combined with the DiamondCoat 2 lens coating, providing superior scratch resistance, Leupold’s brilliantly designed lenses deliver a highly defined image perfect for use at any hour of the day. The VX-3L models feature the Light Optimization Profile, the crescent shape cut in the objective lens yeilds maximum Total Light Throughput, while allowing for a lower mount to achieve proper cheek weld and faster target acquisition.
As one of the worlds most reknowned manufacturers of rifle scopes, you can already expect the Leupold VX-3 and VX-3L series rifle scopes, Leupold’s most recent scope design to be up to par with almost every hunters standards. This series carries a significantly lower price tag than comparing Swarovski or Zeiss models, but will still compete with the best.
