[QUOTE="Alan Griffith, post: 550491, member: 4686"] Last month I helped a friend set up his Browning A-Bolt in 30-06 with the Federal 165 gr Sierra GameKing BTSP with a new VX3 3.5-10x40 with CDS. I clocked 10 rounds over my Oehler 35p @ 2811 fps average. It took Leupold about 3 weeks to get the new CDS turret out to him. I helped him zero the scope @ 200 yds and we then checked the POI out to 600 yds in 100 yd increments. All were a few inches low but that was to be expected since were shooting at a nominal 4900' elev and the denser air would slow the bullet down more. He had an elk hunt to the Windriver range of Wyoming with a 10,000' average hunting altitude of which he just returned from yesterday. He texted me this pic upon arrival at his house. This is his 7 yr old son in the back of his Toyota Tacoma.

POI was right at the POA after he turned the CDS turret upto the 450 mark. Bull only traveled 10 yds. Autopsy showed a clean double lung hit with several largish exit holes on the opposite rib cage. Also, I had Leupold make up three turrets for my Pre 64 M70 in 9.3x62 with a VX3 1.75-6. One for 500' (Seward Peninsula), one for 5500' (primary year round practice) and 10,500' for elk hunting.
