[QUOTE="ltrmc02, post: 971554, member: 39103"] I don't really care about getting a custom turret made but was interested in this scope as I liked the look of it and wanted something slim looking with low profile turrets that tracks well. I looked at the CDS at Bass Pro this past weekend and wasn't crazy about the feel of the clicks on it and the marks on the turret were getting split by the indicating hash mark on the tube so I'm kind of turned off of the Leupold CDS at this time. I do like the looks and clarity of it though. I have a really long Bushnell Elite 4200 on my .22-250 varmint rifle and it has some low profile turrets and I really like the way they feel and they seem to track really well but I can't find a 1" tube 40mm scope in the Elite line up that I like the looks of. The eye bells on many 40mm scopes are as big as the objective bell and looks funny to me. I like the eye bell to be about 2\3 the size of the objective, just makes for a much sexier scope to me :D The 50mm Elites look good but I really want to keep my 22'' standard barrel hunting rifle slim looking with a 40mm mounted on low rings but want the ability to make reliable adjustments for drop compensation. Open to suggestions on what else to look at that's 1" tube 40mm, repeatable low profile turrets and looks nice. Looking on SWFA for a scope is fun but I'm getting cross eyed by looking at so many LOL. [/QUOTE]
