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 in mounting the 2.5x28mm Scout riflescope. It is necessary to place the back edge of the rearmost ring at least 3/4" forward of the ocular bell/ tube juncture to avoid possible reticle damage. Because of the longer eye relief of this product, mounting the scope back slightly will not in any way impair its function or effectiveness.
