Sighting In

Windage and Elevation adjustments are marked in easy-to-read increments. Letters found on windage and elevation dial refer to the direction that bullet impact will be moved by an adjustment.
Zeroing the Windage and Elevation Dials After Sighting in
All Leupold scopes have an adjustment dial that can be repositioned to align the marked zero with the position indicator. Leupold riflescope instruction manual most Leupold scope models come with an indicator ring that can move independently to align with the marked zero on the adjustment dial, allowing you to know the original zero setting of your rifle in case any further adjustments need to be made in the field.

Types of Scopes
Variable Power Scopes
Leupold variable power scoped rifles allow you to choose from a range of magnification settings to suit your specific rifle, cartridge, and hunting needs.
Fixed Parallax Distance Scopes
Parallax-free scopes are usually more expensive than other scopes. Rimfire scopes are cheaper than other scopes. Muzzleloader scopes are less expensive than other scopes, but they’re also less accurate.
Parallax-free means that your scope is perfectly aligned with the target. You should see the crosshairs appear as if you were looking through the barrel of the gun. This is important because if you’re shooting at someone, you want to make sure that your bullet hits them.

EFR Scopes and the Adjustable Objective
Leupold’s EFR scopes can eliminate parallax for distances as short as 10 meters. Their focus rings rotate more than 360 degrees. It is important to be careful when adjusting them because if you turn the focus ring too far, it may stop rotating.
Using the Illuminated Reticle
A Leupold rifle scope is an optical instrument used to provide magnification and illumination to the user. The Leupold riflescope uses a reticle pattern to help the user aim the weapon accurately.
Push Button Illumination Control
The aiming dot will flash five times when the brightest setting (5) is reached, then begin increasing each time the adjusting button is subsequently pressed. The aiming dot will increase until the lowest setting (0) is reached, then flash five times and begin increasing each subsequent time the adjusting button is pressed.
Press and hold the button for 3 seconds to turn off the light. Press and hold the button again to adjust the brightness. Press and hold the buttons again to change the direction of brightness.
Leupold uses MSTTM technology to conserve battery power when the rifle is inactive. When the rifle is active again, the light comes back on.
