Q
spongebob, member, from NM, United States, asked on February 07, 2018

can u see 223 holes on paper at 200 yards?(or further) thx.

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Jonathan D., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on March 23, 2018

There is a slim chance you can. At 200 yards with a max magnification of 20x, your target will appear around 10 yards away, so if you can see a 223 hole on paper around 30-40 feet away without magnification then yes. Realistically a spotting scope would be better suited for this purpose, any reactive or "Shoot-N-See" targets would also be beneficial to make out that small of a hole.

does this scope have a "return to zero" feature?

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Armando R., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on September 13, 2019

Leupold states this regarding their VX-3i CDS scopes: "The CDS model VX-3i series scopes can be reset to zero by loosening the set screws and indexing the dial at "0." The Non-CDS models will feature an indicator ring that can be indexed to "0" before reinstalling the adjustment cover."

Q
Duke, guest, from KY, United States, asked on December 04, 2017

Concerning the Leupold VX-3i 6.5-20x50mm Side Focus CDS Riflescope, does the CDS system cover the 6.5 Grendal

Expert Answer
A
Answered by Matt S., Gear Expert, from IL, United States, on December 21, 2017

Yes, every CDS model scope comes with a standard scale dial and a coupon with instructions on how to get your free custom dial tailored to your specific ballistics.

The CDS System works by laser-inscribing your scope’s elevation dial to match your load, velocity and conditions. Your scope will be in perfect sync with the way your rifle and load shoots, even for hand loads.

will it focus down to 30 ft ??

Expert Answer
A

It depends on the model. The only ones that can focus down to 30 ft are the EFR or Extended Focus Range models.
