Leupold VX-II Canadian
- Thread starter hawk-i
- Start date
The Canadian Series features a CDS compatible turret to allow easy for ballistic adjustments.
"Leupold CDS™ models allow you to quickly dial your elevation to different sight-in ranges with a custom adjustment matched to your specific ballistics information. The CDS dials change out easily, allowing you flexibility with different loads, conditions and calibers. Every CDS dial features ¼-MOA click increment finger adjustments and no adjustment covers to lose, making the VX-2, VX-3, VX-6 and VX-R even more accurate and rugged. How the CDS™ System Works 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 synch with the way your rifle and load shoots, even for hand loads. Each CDS dial is unique, taking all practical ballistic and environmental factors into account"

Yes, but the VXII is not optically equal to the new VX2. Its the old model, which is the same as the new VX1, which retail for $260. So if you want the CDS, fine. If not you are paying more for a lesser scope.
The VXII canadian is old stock, no longer made.
It can get confusing with leupold and their numbering. People think their old model scopes are comparable to the new ones, but there is a fair bit of difference. They should have gone to a completely new modeling number system this time around.
The Canadian model Leupold scope was what started the CDS dial system. It was proposed by Korth Group (Canadain Leupold Distributor) as a special limited production model with premaid or custom designed dials (Korth bought a laser engraver so they could be done in house). Leupold liked the idea so much that it morphed a few years later into the CDS models on several scopes. The Canadian model also has special engraving on the scope and cap and a maple leaf insignia. They discontinued the production of this model after the CDS models came available however there may be a few unsold units out there (we have been sold out for quite some time). Phil.
Cabelas recently offered the Candian for $299.99 at $100 discount in their online flyer, but the deal confused the hell out of me because in the flyer it was listed as a "vx-ii" Canadian, but when you clicked on the item it took you to the scope which was listed as a "vx-2" Canadian. Is that just an error in naming?
In reality it doesn't actually matter because the scope was no longer available within a couple days of the flyer.
To clarify though... The Canadian version is catagorically based on the old optics?

Yes. Phil.
