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. Wearing hunting/shooting specific clothing is recommended as this may alter eye relief considerations slightly.
