[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1165360, member: 12193"] CDS has it's advantages. It's fantastic for dialing quickly out to 500-600 yards since atmospheric conditions don't affect your trajectory very much at those distances. For longer shots you should still consult a ballistic calculator. I have the VX-6 3-18 with TMOA reticle and it comes with taller turrets than most CDS scopes. This allows me to have regular MOA hash marks on the bottom and CDS numbers above. You can also make or purchase turret labels that do the same thing as a CDS turret. All CDS scopes will come with an elevation turret engraved with standard MOA hash marks. You order your custom turret from Leupold once you have your data. So if you change loads or whatever you can always slap the original turret back on. The VX-6 is as close to a perfect hunting scope as I've found. I love the glass, it's fairly light, turrets are perfect size, good reticle. It can be a pain to mount with the very long objective bell however. A rail is pretty much a necessity. Here's a write-up of the turrets I put on my scope. Haven't ordered my custom turret yet since I'm still finalizing my load.
