You're Part of the Tradition' In a sport rich in tradition, Leupold" has earned its place as one of the classic , names in hunting and shooting. own is the finest example To be sure, the Golden Ring" scope you now - of Leupold heritage. Frederick Leupold came to Portland, Oregon, from Germany in 1907, and, quickly , established a firm to manufacture broadened the company's focus in the late 19305 after the avid outdoorsman and repair surveying transits.
Know Your Scope Riflescopes have become far more sophisticated over the years, but the four most basic parts have remained the same. Working from front to back they are: 1. The objective lens (or front lens) is critical to a superior sight picture. 2. The internal erector lenses which right the image. 3. The reticle, often referred to as the crosshair, provides the aiming point. 4.
3 PLEASE READ BEFORE THIS ENTIRE MOUNTING HANDBOOK YOUR SCOPE. CAUTION Always check and be certain that the firearm is unloaded before undertaking any work upon it. How to Install THE lOWER A scope mounted the Scope THE SCOPE, THE BETTER close to the rifle ensures proper cheek weld on the stock for a stable firing position and allows for rapid target using the lowest possible ring height. scope must clear the bolt handle, acquisition.
ESTABLISHING EYE RELIEF ON RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS Because of the safety considerations strongly recommends associated with proper eye relief, leupold that you mount your scope as far forward as possible. Beyond that, follow these steps: 1. With the scope as far forward your normal shooting the highest position. magnification in the mounts as possible, hold the rifle in (Variable power scopes should be set at for this process.) 2.
7 ESTABLISHING EYE RELIEF ON HANDGUN SCOPES Since handguns less of a safety fired from an arms-extended are typically issue than with riflescopes. However, position, eye relief is it's still important to get the eye relief right for you. 1. Holding the handgun in your normal sho.oting in the rings to achieve 2.

9 If your Leupold scope is one of our models with an eyepiece that has a lock ring, follow these simple steps: 1. Grasp the eyepiece with your hand and back it away from the lock ring. Once the lock ring is free from the eyepiece, turn it clockwise away from the eyepiece to keep it out of the way during the adjustment. 2. If you tend to hold things away from yourself to see them clearly (you are farsighted) turn the eyepiece counterclockwise by a couple of turns.
11 How to Sight-In USING A BORE-SIGHTING COLLIMATOR To save time and ammunition, bore-sighting collimator. specific instructions for on its proper use. Remember, when possible, it is better to make the initial windage scope's windage start out in your shop or gun room with a Follow the directions included with the collimator adjustments to the mount base before using the adjustment. NOTE: Bore-sighting alone is not sufficient to sight-in a scope.
THE FINAL Whichever bore-sighting STEP: 13 L-THREE-SHOT GROUPS method you've used, the next steps are the same on the firing range. To ensure reliable results, always fire from a rested position when performing these steps. (If you are using an adjustable objective or side focus model scope, perform any correction for parallax before continuing, explained in "Understanding as Parallax" on pages 24-27.) 1. Fire a shot or two. 2.
15 Making Precise Windage And Elevation A-djustments The style of elevation and windage adjustments on Leupold riflescopes varies with specific models. Each, however, is clearly marked in easy to read increments. If, for example, there are four hash marks from zero to (and including) the number one on an adjustment increment of adjustment Leupold adjustment knob, then the value of each on that knob is 1/4-MOA. It is the same with all dials.
17 BULLET DROP COMPENSATION Special bullet drop compensation scopes. These dials are calibrated rapidly by distance indicators elevation dials are featured on selected (BDC) to achieve marked DIALS directly adjustment to specific distances on the dials.
~ the dials on the LPS~models: To reposition 1. Grasp the edge of the dial and pull upward. The dial will "pop up" and spin freely. 2. Reposition the zero on the dial so that it aligns with the indicator mark on the scope. 3. Press down on the dial; it will snap down into position. LPSdials adjust easily to indicate the new zero position the dials on Target To reposition and Tactical 1. Loosen the set screws that surround models: the top of the knob until the cylinder turns freely. 2.
21 What You Should Know About Variable Power Scopes Leupold variable power scopes allow you to select from a range of magnifications to suit your particular rifle, cartridge, and shooting needs. WARNING: Do not loosen the screw in the power selector ring. Doing so will release the internal nitrogen that keeps the scope fog free. Loosening the screw will also disconnect a pin that controls the internal operations, causing other problems that would require factory repairs.
~ On scopes with this feature, magnification the distances To estimate settings. the numbers The numbers facing forward show the scope's facing the back are for ranging and show in yards, as shown in Figure C. range, follow these steps: 1. View the target through the scope. 2.
25 However, there are exceptions: 1. Leupold rimfire scopes are set to be parallax free at 60 yards. 2. Leupold shotgunlmuzzleloader 3. Leupold Handgun scopes are set to be parallax free at 75 yards. and Ultralight 2.5x scopes are set to be parallax free at 100 yards. Side Parallax Adjustment THE ADVANTAGE OF ADJUSTABLE PARALLAX SETTING SCOPES Target shooting and varmint hunting a scope with a parallax adjustment The parallax adjustment demand extreme accuracy.
27 NOTE: The side parallax adjustment knob is not to be used to focus the target image. If the reticle is first focused and the parallax then properly set, the image should be clear. To adjust the parallax distance, turn the focus ring. EFR SCOPES AND THE ADJUSTABLE Leupold EFR(Extended Focus Range) scopes can eliminate as short as 10 meters. Unlike conventional OBJECTIVE parallax for distances adjustable objective scopes, the focus ring on EFR models rotates more than 3600.
29 Using the Illuminated All Leupold Illuminated the illuminated Reticle Reticle scopes may be used in either the standard or state. When not illuminated, the reticle performs the same as the reticle in a standard Leupold scope. Illuminating the reticle allows a better distinction to be made in poorly lighted conditions between the target and the precise position of the aiming point. The control dial for the Leupold Illuminated Reticle is located above the eyepiece. To illuminate the reticle: 1.
31 Changing All Leupold Illuminated the Battery Reticle scopes use a 3-volt lithium photo battery. See page 32. To change the battery: 1. Remove the battery cover by grasping its edge (located around the top of the illumination dial) and twisting the cover counterclockwise while holding the sides of the illumination dial to keep the entire dial from turning. 2. Remove the old battery from its position in the center of the dial.
33 Leupold Means Minimal Maintenance LENSES Leupold scope lenses are coated to reduce light reflections thus increasing light transmission through and light scattering the scope. They should be cleaned as carefully as you would a camera lens. Begin by using a lens brush to remove dust and then pure alcohol, high-grade glass cleaner, or pure water on a cotton swab. WINDAGE / ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS These adjustments are permanently lubricated. There is no need to lubricate them.
35 TROUBLE SHOOTING TIPS Before you ship a scope back to the factory for service or repair, please check the following items to make sure that the problem is really with the scope and not the rifle or mount system. 1. Check the mount. Make sure the scope is mounteu securely to the rifle. Try, with bare hands only, to twist the scope in the rings or see if anything moves when you jiggle it. If there is any movement, the mounting system according to mounting 2.
