Im in the same boat. Called Leupold Tech Department, and they will change out to M1 knobs for about $130, and turnaround time is approx 3 Weeks.
 
Re: leupold VX3 6.5-20 / varmint retical

so the turrets are not finger adjustable..
 
Re: leupold VX3 6.5-20 / varmint retical

Can you post a link of the 6.5x20 that you are speaking of. Are the adjustment covers tall or short?
 
Re: leupold VX3 6.5-20 / varmint retical

they are short, you can find them on www.swfa.com click riflescopes and go to hutingscopes click on vx3 its 6.5x20x40mm.should scroll to the bottom of the page to the numbers, the one im talking about is on the 10th page.

Most that have target knobs are the ones that specify this, vari x 3 6.5x20xwhatever LR. The "LR" being long range ofcourse.
 
Re: leupold VX3 6.5-20 / varmint retical

Not sure, but I think all VX-3's have hand adjustable knobs???

I have the VX III 6.5-20 X 50mm varmint hunter reticle on my 22-250. It has a 30mm tube and long target knobs. The knobs have caps over them that screw off. Once off, the knobs are easily finger adjustable.
