The scope on this rifle has been converted to use a cds dial by Leupold Custom Shop. The information on the dial was provided by me when i ordered the work. Photos show the dial top, and the dial set for 100, 250, and 300 yard. The targets were shot at the ranges set on the dial. The last target at the bottom was shot with the dial set on 1, at 100 yard. The middle target shown was shot at 300 yard with the dial set on 3.












It is nearly a full revolution of the dial between 100 yard, and 300 yard when using the information for the load used today. The dial cannot be turned below 1, or past what looks like about 3.25; it is stopped. If the dial were left set on 1, and the rifle shot at a target 300 yard out, the bullet would hit about 40" low. To hit at 300 yard, i think the bullet would have to be perhaps 15" high at 100 yards
