Re: Leuopld M1 or M3 adjustments
M1 - 1/4 MOA elevation, 1/4 MOA windage. They can be removed if you take the set screw out. This allows you to "zero" the knobs.
M2 - 1/2 MOA elevation, 1/2 MOA windage, BDC calibrated for .308 168gr (only one knob included but different calibers can be obtained from Leupold.) Knobs can also be removed via the set screw to set back to zero.
M3 - 1 MOA elevation, 1/2 MOA windage, BDC calibrated, includes 3 interchangeable turrets calibrated for .308win 168gr, 300 Win Mag 190gr, and .223 Rem 55gr. Knobs can also be removed via the set screw to set back to zero.
google-fu to the rescue.

Re: Leuopld M1 or M3 adjustments
M1s are tall .25 MOA turrets.
M3s are medium height 1 MOA turrets.
The M1s are more precise, but slower. The M3s are faster, but less precise.
M1s are tall and can sometimes snag, but are easier to see from behind the rifle.
I highly recommend M5 if you're going with Leupold. M5s are .1 mrad and are in the some units as the reticle.

+1 on the M5. It'w way easier having your reticle and turrets matchs.

Is the M5 medium height like the M2/M3?

No, the M5 looks like the M1. That's my biggest complaint with them.
