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.
