[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 51753, member: 3"] The Leupold M3 LR is a 1 MOA elevation and .5 MOA windage scope. The reticle is pretty thick. If you're going to be shooting varmints you'll be hard pressed to shoot much beyond 600 yards without holding over or under a bit to get finer than 1 MOA adjustment. For deer sized critters you'll be fine to about 800 yards. There are significant advantages to the M3 over the M1. You'll never be a full turn off on elevation with the M3 as it only has one turn available for elevation. It's very quick with the Bullet Drop Compensator (BDC) cam if you can find a match for the rifle/chambering you're using. (There are blank and custom ones available.) I've used both the M3 and the M1, I prefer the M1 for hunting and the M3 for competitions. [/QUOTE]
