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.
