Rifle Scopes Leupold M3 Elevation Knobs – 148/-50gr .308

[p712k]

Does Leupold make a M3 Elevation Knob for 148-150gr .308 ammo? All the ones I have seen are 168gr. I have one I want to use on an H&K-91 (G3) and all the ammo I have for it is 148-150 gr.

If I have to get a custom one made any idea what they charge, at least a ballpark estimate.

You can get a custom knob from kenton industries for ~90$ made for your bullet weight and muzzle velocity. However I would just go out and use it, out to 4-500 yards the scope cam will be close enough for farm work.

+1 for Kenton Industries.

Leupold will also make custom knobs. I think they are $60

Kenton doesn't make them for the 10x; Leupold does. $60. And I assume you meant elevation?

Agree, try it. I have a cam that is marked 190 smk 30/06 that is almost dead on (+/- a couple inches either way) out to 800 using an older lot of 308 LR lake city 174 grain ammo.

Yes I meant elevation, dang MS word auto correct..and my lack of proof reading.

Leupold will take care of you. Ask them to add 1 MOA hash marks a well as the yardage #s. That way you can dial and make a data card if needed. I still use a data card with my M3 knobs...2 plus 1, 5 minus 3, 7plus 2 etce... they rarely mate to the round perfectly and temp, elevation and barrel length come into play with them.

Good luck...
