Was down at the range today looking at a 3.5 -10 Vari Xlll with these factory installed target knobs. The young fellow was having a difficult time getting zeroed. Said his windage knob was maxed out to the right & just spinning at the end of its adjustment. This was true as I spun it also, it was clicking as they do, but continued to spin and spin.
I cranked the windage knob back full left & it stopped up tight, back full right and it continues to spin. Broken or what?

Sounds like that scope needs to make a trip to Portland, OR.

That was my suggestion. He had the M1 Turrets on elevation and windage, but l believe that hunting scope has somewhat limited adjustments.
Nice kid with an expensive rifle, was a Bergara Premier Approach in 6.5 Creedmoor. He had a 20 moa rail, bipod & a muzzle break so he's set for long range shooting. Think with that Leupold up top its going to be the limiting factor.
I mentioned looking into a SWFA Super Sniper in 10x

I had a Leupold 3.5-10 sent it off and had a M1 elevation turret installed. The last turn on elevation would not move the crosshairs, same with a 3.5-10 tactical with target knobs.
If the rifle is accurate and a nice rifle he should trade the Leupold off for an appropriate scope and take advantage of what the rifle is capable of.

Sounds like that scope needs to make a trip to Portland, OR. Yup. Based on my one experience with M1s on a VXIII, my first guess would be the turrets/erector cratered on him.
I've seen more well-shot game lost with TSXs than any other premium bullet.

They should fix it pronto, but as mentioned above those erectors don't tend to take the twisting and turning forever.
