[QUOTE="the444shooter, post: 1308903, member: 46"] from my understanding they started to put stronger erector springs in the CDS scopes because the other ones weren't made for repeated dialing. They were made for more of a "set and forget" type of scope--I asked the Leupold custom shop about replacing my NON-CDS turret on a VX3 4.5-14x50 B&C, and they said they would have to change out the erectors as well as the turret, due to the need for stronger springs. I suspect that these changes to the CDS line came from a lot of Leupold users utilizing turrets like Kenton industries on scopes that had erectors designed for minimal dialing, and having the erectors fail. I would think that's where the complaints came from. I just got the vx3i 4.5-14x50 w/ CDS/windplex that I hope to put through its paces this year, and I hope to get a VX5HD 3-18x44 as soon as it comes out, because I like the idea of the zero lock feature. My vx3 4.5-14x40 B&C will remain as-is, not a CDS, and is on my "point blank, point and shoot" 30-06 set up. [/QUOTE]
