Leupold CDS issues .... resolved

[Big Sky]

Hopefully someone on here has dealt with this issue. A google search didn't come up with much.

I have a few Leupold scopes that have CDS dials. Most are older VX2 models. I had one 'free' custom CDS dial still available so I finally got around to ordering it.

When I installed the dial on my VX2 scope, the dial was very difficult to turn. Something was binding.

A quick inspection shows that the new dial (on left) is taller than the old dial. I believe that this is what is causing the dial to bind.



I could shorten the dial by removing material from the bottom. Or....
A washer placed inside the dial would raise it up so that it won't bind.



I could keep using the MOA dial, but the 'free' custom dial isn't really free so I would like to use it.

Anyone dealt with this and have a solution that works?
