[QUOTE="el matador, post: 1198616, member: 12193"] I agree with the others, that's the wrong dial. I also must say that Leupold has done a very poor job of informing people about their CDS dial options. I have a VX-6 and it took me several e-mails and 3 phone calls before I knew enough to place my order. The TMOA scopes use a different height of turret than the other VX-6s so that complicates things even further. Looks to me like you have the TMOA scope. Like fllefty said, the regular CDS dial should sit flush with the scope and still allow you to use the turret cap if you want. It has room to engrave yardage for 2 revolutions. The other option is called the TAC dial. It's a bit larger in diameter and covers up the threads for a more finished look. There are pictures in some old threads if you want to take a look at both styles: TAC dials: [U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/leupold-vx-6-tac-dials-162172/[/URL][/U] Standard CDS elevation dial: [U][URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f18/leupold-vx6-cds-repeat-ability-156402/index3.html#post1105912[/URL][/U] The clicks on these scopes aren't so distinct and abrupt like NF or Vortex.
