Your thoughts on on the (cds) custom dial system. Is it worth getting? easy set up?

You might get a better response by posting your question in the Scopes and Sights forum on this site. Someone there might have experience with the cds.

IMO it's worth the money.....though I might go M1 if your sending yours to the CS. CDS will give you 15MOA of "up" unless you skip the 0 stop....M1's will give you your tubes full internal adjustment....

Leup is running the special on custom CDS knobs for your load, but I prefer MOA/drop chart on my stock as it's easier to factor in changing weather/elevation conditions.

I happened to talk with leupold guys at the SCI show, the only concern with getting custom dials on my scope was that they would only come in 50 yard incriments, I don't know how effective that would be at times.

Scope should still dial with MOA, so if you need it dialed in for 525 and the only marks you have are 500 and 550, just put it in the middle, should be pretty close.
