own is the finest example of Leupold heritage. -

Frederick Leupold came to Portland, Oregon, from Germany in 1907, and, quickly established a firm to manufacture and repair surveying transits. Fred's son, Marcus, broadened the company's focus in the late 19305 after the avid outdoorsman missed a buck on the soggy western slopes of Oregon's Cascade Range. (His scope had fogged, as was common for scopes of that era.) Frustrated by the experience,

Marcus set out to build a better scope. The rest, as they say, is history.

Marcus Leupold's quest for quality has continued on to the present. In the words of the firm's founder, Frederick Leupold, "We sole,mnly promise never to let down on

quality; the customer is entitled to a square deal." This is why we build every

Leupold Golden Ring product to be worthy of the Leupold Full Lifetime Guarantee.'

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. The ocular lens (or eyepiece lens) works with the other lenses to magnify the image, provide correct eye relief, and make diopter corrections.

HOW SCOPES WORK

As light passes through and beyond the objective lens, the resulting upside down image is sent to the internal lenses. Known as erector lenses, these internal lenses return the image to a right-side-up position. Finally, the ocular lens makes a final enlargement of that image and sends it on to your eye.

Your Leupold scope was designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure that, when properly mounted and sighted-in on your firearm, you will enjoy

exceptional performance. A solid mount is critical to satisfactory performance of your scope. If you have problems or questions, please contact Leupold Technical Service (see page 36).

How to Install the Scope

THE lOWER THE SCOPE, THE BETTER

A scope mounted close to the rifle ensures proper cheek weld on the stock for a stable firing position and allows for rapid target acquisition. We recommend using the lowest possible ring height. No specific clearance is required, but the

scope must clear the bolt handle, hammer (on lever actions and handguns), sights, and barrel.

When installed, be sure that your scope does not interfere with firearm

operation and does not contact anything except the mount rings.

INSTALLING THE BASE, RINGS, AND SCOPE

Please refer to the instructions included with the base and rings for their proper installation on the firearm.

If necessary, it is safe to position the rear mount ring directly on the exposed

threaded area near the eyepiece, but only after focusing the eyepiece. This allows a more forward placement of the scope. See page 8 for more details.

NOTE:

The windage and elevation adjustments on new Leupold scopes are

centered as part of the assembly process. If you are mounting a scope that was previously mounted on another rifle, you should center the adjustments (please see "Centering Windage and Elevation Adjustments" on page 17 for more details).

NOTE: Use care

place the back edge of the rearmost ring at least

ESTABLISHING EYE RELIEF ON

RIFLES AND SHOTGUNS

Because

of the safety considerations associated with proper eye relief, leupold strongly recommends that you mount your scope as far forward as possible. Beyond that, follow these steps:

1. With the scope as far forward in the mounts as possible, hold the rifle in your normal shooting position. (Variable power scopes should be set at

the highest magnification for this process.)

2. Slowly move the scope to the rear just until you can see a full field-of-view.

3. Position your scope here for maximum eye relief.

4. Proceed to COMPLETING THE INSTALLATION.

NOTE:

To confirm that your scope is mounted in the best possible position, try assuming various positions: kneeling, seated, prone, and aiming both uphill and downhill. Remember that aiming uphill typically reduces eye relief

Leupold riflescopes are

engineered to provide

a generous 3" to 5"

eye relief, depending

on the model and the

magnification level.

WARNING

If a scope 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

Nevertheless, it is

important that the eye relief

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

Secure the scope and firearm in a firm rest. 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 eyepiece.

THE

RETICLE

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. If you hold things close to yourself to see them clearly (you are nearsighted) turn the eyepiece clockwise by 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 corning off the scope.

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

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.

USING THE LEUPOLD ZERO POINT

IllUMINATED MAGNETIC BORESIGHTER

This

tool fits any rifle, shotgun, or pistol, and helps you get fast, without barrel spuds or batteries. It works with any optical sight, and can even be used to recheck your zero, without firing a shot. See your Leupold

Golden Ring Dealer or visit www.leupold.com for more information.

"on the paper"

TRADITIONAL BORE-SIGHTING (BOLT ACTIONS)

Preliminary sighting-in can also be

accomplished by bore-sighting at the firing range using a target from 20 to 50 yards away.

1. Position the firearm on the bench, using

sandbags to steady the firearm.

2. Remove the bolt from the firearm.

3. Looking through the bore itself, move the firearm to center the

bull's-eye of the target inside the barrel,

as shown in Figure A.

4. Hold the rifle steady. With the bull's-eye

centered when viewed through the bore,

make windage and elevation adjustments to the scope until the very center of the

reticle is aligned with the bull's-eye of the target, as shown in Figure B.

Target as seen

through the bore.

THE FINAL STEP: THREE-SHOT GROUPS

Whichever bore-sighting 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, as explained in "Understanding Parallax" on pages 24-27.)

1. Fire a shot or two.

2. If you are several inches off center, make an appropriate amount of adjustment to move the reticle to the center of the target.

3. Carefully fire a three-shot group.

4. Use the center of that group as a reference point for the final adjustments to windage and elevation.

L--

On the sample target, the center of the group is two inches low and three inches right. Assuming you're sighting-in at 100 yards, you should make a 2-MOA adjustment up, and a 3-MOA adjustment left. Your next three-shot

group should be very close to the center of the target. To learn about making final

adjustments, proceed to the upcoming section on windage and elevation adjustments.

1-3-1

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 knob, then the value of each increment of adjustment on that knob is 1/4-MOA. It is the same with all Leupold adjustment dials. One-MOA moves the point of impact at 100 yards by 1 inch. At 100 meters, it moves 29mm.

The letters found on the windage and elevation dials refer to the direction that the point-of-impact of the bullet is moved when an adjustment is made.

ZEROING THE WINDAGE AND

ELEVATION DIALS AFTER SIGHTING IN

All Leupold scopes feature adjustment dials that can be repositioned to align the marked zero of the dial with the position indicator without changing the adjustment setting of the scope that was achieved when sighting-in. This allows the shooter to know the original zero of the rifle in the event that further adjustments are made in the field.

To reposition the dials on Rifleman'M, VX'M-I, and FX'M-I models, place a coin or screwdriver in the slot in the numbered dial and rotate it so that the zero aligns with the stamped line indicator mark on the top of the adjustment screw that is perpendicular to the coin slot.

CENTERING WINDAGE AND ELEVATION ADJUSTMENTS

TO ACHIEVE OPTIMUM ADJUSTMENT TRAVEL

Making windage and elevation adjustments moves the entire erector system

horizontally and vertically inside the scope. If the erector system is off to one

side-as a result of having been mounted on a non-adjustable mount-the

adjustments won't provide equal travel in all directions. To regain full balanced travel, you must recenter the adjustment as follows:

1. Turn the windage adjustment to the point that it stops moving.

2. Counting the clicks or hash marks, turn it all the way in the other direction.

3. Turn the dial back half the amount of clicks or hash marks counted.

4. Repeat this process for the elevation adjustment.

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

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. Do not lubricate the power selector ring; doing so is unnecessary.

All variable power scopes have a power selector ring in front of the eyepiece assembly. Turn the ring to align the number indicating the desired magnification with the indicator on the body of the scope.

will

RANGE ESTIMATING WITH VX-III SCOPES

Selected VX-III scopes have a built-in range estimator. This system uses the Duplex. reticle in combination with an additional set of numbers on the power

selector ring. (Also see the Leupold Range Estimating Reticle Instructions for other reticle types.) In scopes with this feature the space between the tip of the thicker post of the Duplex reticle and the center of the reticle covers 16 inches at 200 yards (the size of a Whitetail buck from backbone to brisket).

NOTE: The Duplex reticle was designed to estimate ranges based on the backbone

to brisket dimension of a Whitetail buck. The distance of other game with a body dimension that is known to be 16 inches (or 32 inches if the measurement is taken

from post to post instead of post

to crosshair) may certainly be

estimated. It is necessary to know

the approximate physical size of

your target whenever you

estimate range.

Range Power

5gULE...C

On scopes with this feature, the numbers facing forward show the scope's

magnification settings. The numbers facing the back are for ranging and show

the distances in yards, as shown in Figure C.

To estimate range, follow these steps:

1. View the target through the scope.

2. When targeting an animal with a body that is 16 inches from backbone to brisket, adjust the power selector until that area of the animal's body fits between the center of the crosshair and the top of the lower heavy post.

3. Read the number on the power selector ring to determine the approximate distance in yards.

Bracket the animal from

backbone to brisket

UNDERSTANDING PARALLAX

Parallax is the apparent movement of the target relative to the reticle when

you move your eye away from the center point of the eyepiece. It occurs when the image of the target does not fall on the same optical plane as the reticle. This can cause a small shift in the point of aim.

Maximum parallax occurs when your eye is at the very edge of the exit pupil. (Even in this unlikely event, our 4x hunting scope focused for 150 yards has a

maximum error of only 8/10ths of an inch at 500 yards.)

At short distances, the parallax effect does not affect accuracy. (Using the same 4x scope at 100 yards, the maximum error is less than 211Oths of an inch.) It is also good to remember that, as long as you are sighting straight through the middle of the scope, or close to it, parallax will have virtually no effect on accuracy in a hunting situation.

ABOUT FIXED PARALLAX DISTANCE SCOPES

Any fixed focus optical system can be adjusted to be parallax free at only one

distance. Most Leupold scopes are adjusted at the factory to be parallax free at

150 yards.

However, there are exceptions:

1. Leupold rimfire scopes are set to be parallax free at 60 yards.

2. Leupold shotgunlmuzzleloader scopes are set to be parallax free at 75 yards.

3. Leupold Handgun 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 demand extreme accuracy. You must have a scope with a parallax adjustment dial for precise shooting at various ranges.

The parallax adjustment can be located either at the objective end of the scope or on the side of the adjustment turret housing. The adjustment moves a lens within the scope causing the target image and the reticle to fall on the same

optical plane. This ensures optimal accuracy at the distance of the target.

To eliminate parallax in adjustable objective and long range (side focus) scopes, follow these steps:

1. The reticle should be clear (focused) before adjusting the parallax. If it is not, follow the instructions under "Focusing the Reticle." See page 8.

2. With the firearm in a stable position, look through the scope, concentrating on the center aiming point of the reticle.

3. Move your head slightly up and down while turning side parallax or

adjustable objective ring until the reticle does not move in relation to the target. Using the numbers on the Adjustable Objective ring, you can get your parallax adjustments close to the proper setting before assuming a shooting position.

NOTE:

Settings may vary slightly per individual preferences, air temperature, and

atmospheric conditions.

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 OBJECTIVE

Leupold

EFR

(Extended Focus Range) scopes can eliminate parallax for distances as short as 10 meters. Unlike conventional adjustable objective scopes, the focus ring on EFR models rotates more than 3600. It is important to pay special attention when adjusting these scopes.

INSTALLING A LENS ATTACHMENT

Many Leupold scopes offer threaded objective and eyepiece rings to allow for the attachment of lens covers and a variety of Alumina'. accessories. These attachments thread directly into the objective or eyepiece rings. Turn until finger tight

do not over

tighten.

Using the Illuminated Reticle

All Leupold Illuminated Reticle scopes may be used in either the standard or the illuminated 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. Grasp the illumination dial located at the top of the eyepiece shell.

2. Turn the dial clockwise from the OFF position to the first number indicated on the dial.

3. View the target through the scope to determine if the reticle is bright enough to stand out clearly against the target.

4. If more illumination is required, continue turning the dial clockwise until the reticle is clearly visible against the target.

To preserve the life of the battery, always remember to turn the illumination dial to the OFF position when the scope is not in use. For prolonged storage, remove the battery.

If the reticle fails to illuminate or appears dim even on the highest illumination setting, it is necessary to change the battery.

WARNING: Always check to ensure that the firearm is unloaded before changing the battery in the scope.

Changing the Battery

All Leupold Illuminated 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.

Leupold Means Minimal Maintenance

LENSES

Leupold scope lenses are coated to reduce light reflections and light scattering thus increasing light transmission through 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. Keep the turret caps on, except when adjusting, to keep out dust and

dirt. (It's worth noting that, unlike competitive brands, Leupold scopes are waterproof even without the caps in place.)

EYEPIECE ADJUSTMENT

This adjustment is permanently lubricated. There is no need to lubricate it. The

eyepiece can be rotated as far as it will go in either direction. It will not detach from the scope because of an internal lock ring.

SEALS

Leupold scopes are sealed from within by several methods, including O-rings.

All seals are permanent and require no maintenance.

SCOPE EXTERIOR

Leupold scopes are made of rugged 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy. No

maintenance of any kind is required; simply wipe off any dirt or fingerprints

that accumulate with a clean, dry cloth.

POWER SELECTOR RING (ON VARIABLE POWER SCOPES)

No lubrication is ever required on the power selector ring. DO NOT LOOSEN OR

REMOVE THE HEX-HEAD SCREW IN THE POWER SELECTOR RING.

ADJUSTABLE OBJECTIVE/SIDE PARALLAX DIAL

No lubrication is required.

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, retighten the mounting system according to mounting instructions.

2. Make sure the action of your rifle is properly bedded in the stock, and that all receiver screws are tight and have been tightened in the sequence

recommended by the manufacturer. A loosely fitted stock can cause changes to the point-of-impact.

3. When test firing a rifle to check the point-of-impact relative to

windage and elevation adjustments, be sure to fire from a solid bench with sandbags supporting the forearm and buttstock.

4. Be sure to use factory-loaded ammunition of the same bullet type,weight,

and preferably, lot number. If one type of ammunition does not shoot well, try another brand or bullet weight.

5. Be certain that both the barrel and chamber are clean. Heavy factory grease on a new rifle and copper fouling on an older one can diminish the accuracy of the firearm.

Leupold Technical Service

If your Leupold Golden Ring scope fails to perform in any way, you may return it directly to the factory (or one of our international service centers) for service. It is not necessary for your dealer to ship the scope to Leupold; however, they can be very helpful in determining if factory service is necessary. Please follow these shipping instructions:

1. Remove the rings and any other accessories from the scope.

2. Record the serial number of the scope and keep it for your records.

3. Include a note with your name, address, telephone number, E-mail, and a description of the problem.

4. Pack the scope in its original box (if you have it), as this is the safest shipping container. Wrap the package securely using filament strapping tape on the outside.

5. Ship the scope by parcel or mail service (insured, if possible) to one of the

following addresses:

COMO REALIZAR AJUSTES DE PRECISION POR mcTO DEL VIENTO Y DE ELEVACION

EI estilo de los ajustes de elevacionycorreccion por efectos del viento en las miras lelescopicas Leupold varia con los modelos especificos. Sin embargo, cada una viene claramente marcada con incrementos de facillectura. Si por ejemplo, hay cuatro marcas de referencia desde cero hasta el numero uno en una perilla de ajuste (ambos valores inclusive), entonces el valor de cada incremento de ajuste en dicha perilla es de 1/4 de MOA. Esta convencion es la misma en todos los cuadrantes de ajuste leupold. Una unidad MOA mueve 1 pulgada el punta de impacto a 100 yardas. 0 bien 29 mm a 100 metros.

Las letras que se encuentran en los cuadrantes de correccion por efecto del viento desplaza el punto de impacto del proyectil wando se realiza un ajuste.

AJUSTE A CERO DE LOS CUADRANTES DE CORRECCION POR mCTO DEL VIENTO Y

Todas las miras telescopicas Leupold incluyen cuadrantes de ajuste que se pueden volver a colocar para alinear la marca de cero del cuadrante con el indicador de posicion sin cambiar el ajuste del indicador de posicion de la mira que se logro al apuntar con la mira.Lo anterior permite al tirador conocer el cero original en el rifle en caso de que sea necesario realizar ajustes adicionales en el campo.

lEGGERE PER INTERO QUESTA GUIOA PRIMA 01 MONTARE Il CANNOCCHIAlE 01 MIRA,

Prima di iniziare quafsiasi lavoro sull'arma da fuoco, controflarla e accertarsi (he sia scarica.

Con riferimento aile considerazioni di sicurezza connesse a una corretta distanza dell'oculare dall'occhio, la Leupold raccomanda fortemeote di montare it cannocchiale nella posizione pit'! avanzata possibile. Eseguita questa operazione, procedere come

1. Col cannocchiale nella posizione piu avanzata consentita dai supporti, imbracciare it fucile nella propria consueta posizione di sparo (per questa procedura i cannocchiali a ingrandimento variabile vanno regolati al massimo).

2. Far scorrere lentamente all'indietro il cannocchiale, fermandosi appena il campo visivo e completo.

3. Fissare il cannocchiale in tal punto per avere la massima distanza dell'oculare dall'occhio.

OISTANZA TRA OCULARE E OCCHIO SUI FUCILI

4. COMPlETARE Il MONTAGGIO. NOTA: Per avere Ja conferma che iI cannocchiaJe e montato nella migJiore posizione possibile, provare ad assumere

posizioni diverse:in ginocchio, sedut/; proni, e puntare sia verso rafto, sia verso if basso. Ricordarsi che quando si punta verso J'alro di norma si riduce la distanza de/l'ocufare dalf'occhio.

Se if cannocchiale e montato troppo indietro, I'ocufare PUQ ferire Ja fronte del tirarore in corrispondenza delle sopraccigfia. Quando si spara verso I'alto si aumenta questo pericofo perch€! si diminuisce Ja distanza tra Ja fronte e Ja parte posteriore del cannocchiale. Per questa ragione,

una notevoJe distanza de/l'occhio dalf'oculare. Raccomandiamo, quindi, quando si monra if cannocchiale, di

posizionarJo sui supporti quanto piu possibile in avanti, in modo da sfruttare al meglio tale caratteristica costruttiva

1. Seoza alterare la distanza ottima!e dell' oculare dall'occhio, ruotare il cannocchiale finche la manopola graduata di regolazione dell' elevazione e nella pane superiore del cannocchiale.

2. Dalla posizione di sparo, controllare e assicurarsi che I'incisione venicale del reticolo sia allineata con I'asse venicale dell'arma da fuoco. Un cattivo allineamento non influira sulla precisione a distanze modeste, ma pub diminuire la precisione a lunghe

distanze.

NOTA: Per proteggere la tenuta stagna, agni cannocchiale di mira Leupold Golden Ring e munito di un dispositivo

interno che impedisce il distacco dell'oculare dal cannocchiale.

Se il proprio cannocchiale Leupold e uno dei rnodelli con Deulare munito di ghiera di bloccaggio, seguire questi semplici passi:

a luoco agendo ,ull'oculare.

mel'"

1. Afferrare con la mano I'oculare e tirado indietro per allontanarlo dalla ghiera. Quando la ghiera di bloccaggio e liberata dall'oculare, girarla in senso oraria, allontanandola dall'oculare, per non ostacolare la regolazione.

2. Se si ha la tendenza ad allontanare Ie cose per vederle chiaramente (presbiopia) ruotare I'oculare in sensa antiorario di un paio di girL Se invece si tengono Ie cose vicino agli occhi per vederle meglio (miopia) ruotare di un paio di giri

3. Mentre si guarda anraverso il cannocchiale puntato verso il cielo, dare alcune rapide occhiate al reticolo. Ci dovrebbero essere notevoli differenze nella messa a fuoco del reticolo rispeno a prima. Continuare il procedimento finche il reticolo appare chiaro

e ben delinito.

4. Quando I'immagine del reticolo e soddisfacente, ruotare la ghiera di bloccaggio in modo da farla appoggiare saldamente contro

I'oculare.

MESSA A PUNTO DELLA DEVIAZIONE E DEll'ELEVAZIONE

Le modalita di regolazione dell'elevazione e della deviazione per i cannocchiali di mira Leupold per fucili cambiano a seconda del modeno. Ogni regolazione e tunavia eseguita con incrementi di facile lenura. Se, per esempio, vi 501'10 quanro tacche da zero a uno (compreso) sulla manopola di regolazione, il valore di ogni regolazione con quella manopola e pari a 1/4 di minuto d'angolo. ~ la stessa cosa con tune Ie manopole di regolazioneleupold. Un minuto d'angolo lpolta il punto d'impano di 29 millimeui a 100 meui.

Le lenere suite manopole di regolazione della deviazione e deH'elevazione indicano la direzione in cui si sposta il punto d'impano del proienile quando si esegue una regolazione.

AZZERAMENTO DELLE MANOPOLE DI DERIVAZIONE E DI ELEVAZIONE DOPO LA TARATURA INIZIALE

Tuni i cannocchiali di mira Leupold dispongono di manopole di regolazione che possono essere riposizionate per allineare 10 zero inciso sulla manopola con l'indicatore di posizione senza modificare la taratura iniziale del cannocchiale eseguita col metodo del traguardo. Questo consente al tiratore di ritrovare 10 zero originale del fucile nel casa fosse necessario eseguire successive regolazioni suI campo.

Quando non e illuminato. il reticolo si comport3 (orne il reticolo dei cannocchiali standard Leupold. rilluminazione del reticolo consente di distinguere meglio il preciso punta di mira suI bersaglio in condizioni di luce scarS3.

Per illuminare it reticolo:

1. Afferrare la manopola di illuminazione posta sapra !'involucra dell'oculare.

2. Girare la manopola in sensa oraria dal1a posizione di OFF (spento) al primo numero indicato sui quadrante.

3. Osservare il bersaglio attraverso il cannocchia!e per stabilire se il reticolo e abbastanza luminoso da spiccare chiaramente

sui bersaglio.

4. Se occorre una maggiore illuminazione, continuare a ruotare la rnanopola in senso orario fin quando il relicolo e chiaramente visibile sui bersaglio.

Per salvaguardare la durata della baneria, ricordarsi di ruotare la rnanopola di iIIuminazione sulla posizione OFF (spento) quando non si usa il cannocchiale.ln caso di prolungata inattivita, togliere la baneria.

Se il reticolo non si illumina 0 appare debolrnenle illuminato anche al massimo della regolazione, significa che occorre sostituire la baneria.

Prima di SQStituire la batteria del cannocchiale, controflare e accertarsi sempre che I'arrna da Fuoco sia scarica.
