Are there any current options for repairs on the Leupold M3A scopes? I have one that came with a Remington rebuild M24 that needs a new elevation knob and the elevation no longer has its full range of travel. Leupold customer service rep was unsure if they could do anything to it or not.

Do you need a new turret or just the ballistic-marked knob? And is there a elevation knob on it now?
Don't know your experience level with M3s, but they have a zero stop on the underside of the elvation knob that interfaces with a pin on the turret. If it's travel limited at the bottom end, you may just need to undo the set screws and lift the knob up and over the stops.

Thank you. I feel like a total idiot. This is my first M3a and I just figured that out after I made this post, then I come back and read your reply. Now all I need is to track down an M118 marked dial as the one that came on this scope is from a mk4 m3 with the markings the opposite way.
