Rifle Scopes Leupold M2 Question 168 Knob

[z-man]

Guys just traded for one of the brown Leupoy 3.5-10 40mm LR TMRs with the M2 knobs. The knob is marked .308 168 GR. Couple of questions??

1. I would assume this is calibrated for the 168 FGMM??

2. Is it calibrated for a 24" barrel?? Anyone know the velocity they use?

I plan to shoot it but my range only goes to 600 so just wanted to know if it will be close on a 24" barrel or may use it on a 20" in which case I may order a new knob.

Thanks Z

If you look the way the dial is made, you can ignore the yardage marks, and just use the 0.5 MOA ones, and make your own drop chart.
