Leopold cds

Just received a vari-x III back from leupold and had them install a top turret and a custom dial for 300 WSM and very happy with it. Cost 160.00 for the work and can turn the turret out to 750 yards which is dead on.

How are you guys finding repeatability and accuracy with twisting the CDS dials? I've heard almost nothing but bad reviews that the CDS dials don't maintain zero when dialing up and down. Got my eye on a VX-5HD 3-15 so wanting to hear good or bad.
Thanks!

Mines spot on but brand new still

I had big time issues initially with my vx-3 4.5x14x40 CDS. It would not track at all. I would barely adjust also. I sent it back and they made some erector adjustments and parallax adj's and a couple other things.

Now it tracks really well although in the back of my mind I wonder when it's going to screw up again.
Last week I shot and dialed out to 400 yards first and hit the steel right where I was aiming twice. Dialed to 200 and it was dead on. Out to 575 and it was right in the middle of the steel plate and back to 200 right on again. I went back to 400 and then back to 200 yards.......perfect.
I put it away after that. I love the gun. The scope not so much but it's working well now.
Many others have also had issues with their Leupolds. Count me in that group.

Is yours a 1" or 30mm?
