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 “Zeroing Windage and Elevation 
Adjustments” on page 20 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" for-
ward 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.
