Thanks

Pictures would help, the M24 platform issued scopes were either the old L&S M3a Ultra 10x or the MK4 m3. In the mid eighties L&S had a 10x & 16x Ultra-m1, 1/4 moa mil dot reticle, and the later 10x-m2 with a v ranging reticle, sometimes called the Barrett reticle.

This optic is the leupold ultra 20x-m1 L & S INC.

Never actually seen a pic of one before that simply said m1, your scope is early, made in 84. Most I've seen have m1a marked on the bottom, not sure when they made the improvements, around 86 I think. The 20x wasn't an issued scope for the M24, your scope predates the M24 program by several years, not sure how ot ended up on your M24. As for value, 650-1000 maybe, one of the problems with these scopes and the m3a ultras is the nonnexistent of parts to repair them, fortunately they are built like tanks, I still have 10x's that function perfectly.
