[QUOTE="Schoettgen, post: 428494, member: 25038"] FWIW, the CDS scope comes with a standard MOA cap and no stop. Total adjustment is roughly 47 MOA . On my longrange rifle, sighted in with a 200 yard 0 I have just over two turns before I run out of adjustment, or 33 MOA. This is enough adjustment to get me past 1000 yards. A custom cap would limit me to around 700 yards and for that reason, on this rifle, I prefer not to have a custom cap. My other rifle is a lighter weight carry and calling rifle that I use just about daily for coyotes. All my ranch work is roughly the same elevation, so I picked a middle of the road temp, called it in to leupold and had them make a custom cap (.243 70 grn ballitic tips.). Not really a long range load and the cap limits me to about 700 yards , but I am pretty solid with it out to 500 yards or so. What I really like about the custom cap is that it speeds things up when you need to engage multiple targets quickly, and with the stop I can turn it back down without having to take my eyes off a target. I just range, dial and shoot. I don't have to look at a range card and count the MOA since the yardages are marked on the cap. I have had one on this rifle for over a year now and it is holding up fine to daily use and abuse. -ATV , Truck , Horse, heat, cold ,rain, snow, etc.... The thing I like most about this dial, is its low proflie. It really is a hunters turret and the only one I know of that will ride well in a horses scabboard. Leupold did a good job with this one.
