Remember that aiming uphill typically reduces eye relief. Wearing hunting/shooting specific clothing is recommended as this may alter eye relief considerations slightly. WARNING If a scope is mounted too far to the rear, the eyepiece can injure the shooter’s brow. Shooting at an uphill angle also increases this hazard because it shortens the distance between the brow and the rear of the scope. For this reason, Leupold scopes are engineered to provide generous eye relief. Therefore, when mounting your scope, we recommend positioning it as far forward in the mounts as possible to take full advantage of this generous eye relief. Leupold riflescopes are engineered to provide a generous 3" to 5" eye relief, depending on the model and the magnification level. Establishing eye relief on handgun scopes Since handguns are typically fired from an arms-extended position, eye relief is less of a safety issue than with riflescopes. However, it’s still important to get the eye relief right for you. 1. Holding the handgun in your normal shooting stance, position the scope in the rings to achieve a full field-of-view. 2. Proceed to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION. The eye relief of handgun scopes is more forgiving than that of riflescopes. Nevertheless, it is important that the eye relief is compatible with your shooting style. Unlike riflescopes, adjustments to the eyepiece in handgun scopes affect the eye relief as well as the reticle focus. Turning the eyepiece clockwise increases eye relief and turning it counterclockwise decreases it. Completing the installation 1. Without disturbing the optimal eye relief position, rotate the scope until the elevation adjustment dial is at the top of the scope. 2. From a firing position, check to be sure that the vertical hair of the reticle aligns with the vertical axis of the firearm. Misalignment will not affect accuracy at moderate distances but it can diminish long range accuracy. 3. When you are satisfied, tighten the ring screws evenly and securely. Focusing the reticle Secure the scope and firearm in a firm rest. Safely point the scope at a light colored background object. With the scope approximately four inches from your eye the reticle should appear sharp and crisp; if it does not, it is necessary to adjust the focus by means of the eye piece. 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 a couple of turns. If you hold things close to yourself to see them clearly (you are nearsighted) turn the eyepiece clockwise a couple of turns. 3. Looking through the scope when pointed at the sky, take a few quick glances at the reticle. The focus of the reticle should be noticeably different from when you started. Continue this process until the reticle appears clear and sharp. 4. When you are satisfied with the image of the reticle, turn the lock ring so that it rests firmly against the eyepiece. If your Leupold scope is one of our models without an eyepiece lock ring, follow these simple steps: 1. All adjustment is made with the eyepiece. 2. Look through the scope with quick glances while focusing the reticle image. If you tend to hold things away from yourself to see them clearly (farsighted) turn the eyepiece ring counterclockwise until the reticle is clear and sharp. If you hold them close to yourself to see them clearly (nearsighted) turn the eyepiece ring clockwise until the reticle is sharp and clear. If your eyesight changes, readjust the eyepiece. As we age, eyesight normally changes. You may want to check the sharpness of the reticle on your scope every few years to ensure it is still adjusted correctly for your eye. NOTE: To protect the integrity of the waterproof seal of every Leupold Golden Ring scope, an internal mechanism prevents the eyepiece from being removed. The primary function of a scope is to aim the firearm. Never use the scope as a substitute for binoculars. Never watch another person through the scope. As always, the Golden Rule applies. How to Sight-In How to Sight-In Using a bore-sighting collimator To save time and ammunition, start out in your shop or gun room with a bore-sighting collimator. Follow the directions included with the collimator for specific instructions on its proper use. Remember, when possible, it is better to make the initial windage adjustments to the mount base before using the scope’s windage adjustment. NOTE: Bore-sighting alone is not sufficient to sight-in a scope. You must make final adjustments by shooting the firearm using the same ammunition you use in the field.
