Frederick Leupold came to Portland, Oregon, from Germany in 1907, and  
quickly established a firm to manufacture and repair surveying transits. Fred’s  
son, Marcus, broadened the company’s focus in the late 1930s after the avid  
outdoorsman missed a buck on the soggy western slopes of Oregon’s Cascade  
Range. (His scope had fogged, as was common for scopes of that era.)  
Frustrated by the experience, Marcus set out to build a better scope. The rest,  
as they say, is history.

PARTS oF THE SCoPE  
4. The ocular lens (or eyepiece lens) works with the other lenses to  
magnify the image, provide correct eye relief, and make  
diopter corrections.  
Riflescopes have become far more sophisticated over the years, but  
the four most basic parts have remained the same. Working from  
front to back they are:

1. The objective lens (or front lens) is critical to a superior  
sight picture.  
2. The internal erector lenses which right the image.  
3. The reticle, often referred to as the crosshair, provides the  
aiming point.

As light passes through and beyond the objective lens, the  
resulting upside down image is sent to the internal lenses.  
Known as erector lenses, these internal lenses return the im-  
age to a right-side-up position. Finally, the ocular lens makes  
a final enlargement of that image and sends it on to your eye.

How to Install the Scope  
THE LoWER THE SCoPE, THE BETTER  
PLEASE READ THIS ENTIRE HANDBooK  
A scope mounted close to the rifle ensures proper cheek weld on  
the stock for a stable firing position and allows for rapid target  
acquisition. We recommend using the lowest possible ring height.  
No specific clearance is required, but the scope must clear the bolt  
handle, hammer (on lever actions and handguns), sights, and  
barrel.

C A U T I O N  
When installed, be sure that your scope does not interfere with  
firearm operation and does not contact anything except the  
mount rings.  
Always check and be certain that the firearm is unloaded  
before undertaking any work upon it.

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.  
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  
7
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).

ESTABLISHINg EYE RELIEF oN  
RIFLES AND SHoTgUNS  
3. Position your scope here for maximum eye relief.  
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:  
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.  
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.

W A R N I N G  
If a scope is mounted too far to the rear, the eyepiece  
can injure the shooter’s brow. Shooting at an uphill angle  
also increases this hazard because it shortens the dis-  
tance between the brow and the rear of the scope. For  
this reason, Leupold scopes are engineered to provide  
generous eye relief. Therefore, when mounting your  
scope, we recommend positioning it as far forward in  
the mounts as possible to take full advantage of this  
generous eye relief.

Leupold riflescopes are engineered to provide a generous 3" to 5"  
eye relief, depending on the model and the magnification level.

ESTABLISHINg EYE RELIEF oN HANDgUN SCoPES  
Since handguns are typically fired from an arms-extended position,  
eye relief is less of a safety issue than with riflescopes. However, it’s  
still important to get the eye relief right for you.  
1. Holding the handgun in your normal shooting stance, position  
the scope in the rings to achieve a full field-of-view.  
10  
2. Proceed to CoMPLETINg THE INSTALLATIoN.  
The eye relief of handgun scopes is more forgiving than that of rifle-  
scopes. Nevertheless, it is important that the eye relief is compatible  
with your shooting style.  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Unlike riflescopes, adjustments to the eyepiece in handgun scopes  
affect the eye relief as well as the reticle focus. Turning the eye-  
piece clockwise increases eye relief and turning it counterclockwise  
decreases it.  
Misalignment will not affect accuracy at moderate distances but  
it can diminish long range accuracy.  
3. When you are satisfied, tighten the ring screws evenly  
and securely.

1. Without disturbing the optimal eye relief position, rotate the  
scope until the elevation adjustment dial is at the top of the  
scope.  
Secure the scope and firearm in a firm rest. Safely point the scope  
at a light colored background object. With the scope approximately  
four inches from your eye the reticle should appear sharp and crisp;  
if it does not, it is necessary to adjust the focus by means of the  
eye piece.  
2. From a firing position, check to be sure that the vertical hair  
of the reticle aligns with the vertical axis of the firearm.

If your Leupold scope is one of our models with an eyepiece that has  
a lock ring, follow these simple steps:  
3. Looking through the scope when pointed at the sky, take a  
few quick glances at the reticle. The focus of the reticle should  
be noticeably different from when you started. Continue this  
process until the reticle appears clear and sharp.  
1. grasp the eyepiece with your hand and back it away from the  
lock ring. once the lock ring is free from the eyepiece, turn it  
clockwise away from the eyepiece to keep it out of the way  
during the adjustment.  
4. When you are satisfied with the image of the reticle, turn the  
lock ring so that it rests firmly against the eyepiece.

Making Precise Windage And Elevation Adjustments  
The style of elevation and windage adjustments on Leupold  
riflescopes varies with specific models. Each, however, is clearly  
marked in easy to read increments. If, for example, there are four  
hash marks from zero to (and including) the number one on an  
adjustment knob, then the value of each increment of adjustment  
on that knob is 1/4-MoA. It is the same with all Leupold  
adjustment dials. one-MoA moves the point of impact at 100 yards  
by 1 inch. At 100 meters, it moves 29mm.  
The letters found on the windage and elevation dials refer to the  
direction that the point-of-impact of the bullet is moved when an  
adjustment is made.

What You Should Know About Variable Power Scopes  
Leupold variable power scopes allow you to select from a range of  
magnifications to suit your particular rifle, cartridge, and shooting  
needs.  
All variable power scopes have a power selector ring in front of the  
eyepiece assembly. Turn the ring to align the number indicating the  
desired magnification with the indicator on the body of the scope.  
25  
WARNINg: Do not loosen the screw in the power selector ring.  
Doing so will release the internal gas that keeps the scope fog  
free. Loosening the screw will also disconnect a pin that controls  
the internal operations, causing other problems that would  
require factory repairs. Do not lubricate the power selector ring;  
doing so is unnecessary.

you are sighting straight through the middle of the scope, or close to  
it, parallax will have virtually no effect on  
UNDERSTANDINg PARALLAX  
Parallax is the apparent movement of the target relative to the  
reticle when you move your eye away from the center point of the  
eyepiece. It occurs when the image of the target does not fall on the  
same optical plane as the reticle. This can cause a small shift in the  
point of aim.  
accuracy in a hunting situation.  
ABoUT FIXED PARALLAX DISTANCE SCoPES  
Any fixed focus optical system can be adjusted to be parallax free at  
only one distance. Most Leupold scopes are adjusted at the factory to  
be parallax free at 150 yards. However, there are exceptions:  
29  
Maximum parallax occurs when your eye is at the very edge of the  
exit pupil. (Even in this unlikely event, our 4x hunting scope focused  
for 150 yards has a maximum error of only 8/10ths of an inch at  
500 yards.)

PARALLAX SETTINg SCoPES  
Target shooting and varmint hunting demand extreme accuracy.  
You must have a scope with a parallax adjustment dial for precise  
shooting at various ranges. The parallax adjustment can be located  
either at the objective end of the scope or on the side of the  
adjustment turret housing. The adjustment moves a lens within the  
scope causing the target image and the reticle to fall on the same  
optical plane. This ensures optimal accuracy at the distance of the  
target.

Side Parallax Adjustment  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
To eliminate parallax in adjustable objective and long range (side  
focus) scopes, follow these steps:  
NoTE: Settings may vary slightly per individual preferences, air  
temperature, and atmospheric conditions.  
1. The reticle should be clear (focused) before adjusting the  
parallax. If it is not, follow the instructions under “Focusing the  
Reticle.” See page 11.  
NoTE: The side parallax adjustment knob is not to be used to focus the  
target image. If the reticle is first focused and the parallax then properly  
set, the image should be clear.  
2. With the firearm in a stable position, look through the scope,  
concentrating on the center aiming point of the reticle.  
31  
EFR SCoPES AND THE ADjUSTABLE oBjECTIVE  
Leupold EFR (Extended Focus Range) scopes can eliminate parallax  
for distances as short as 10 meters. Unlike conventional adjustable  
objective scopes, the focus ring on EFR models rotates more than  
360°. It is important to pay special attention when adjusting  
these scopes.  
3. Move your head slightly up and down while turning side  
parallax or adjustable objective ring until the reticle does not  
move in relation to the target. Using the numbers on the  
adjustable objective ring, you can get your parallax adjustments  
close to the proper setting before assuming a shooting position.

All Leupold Illuminated Reticle scopes may be used in either the  
standard or the illuminated state. When not illuminated, the reticle

Leupold Means Minimal Maintenance  
adjusting, to keep out dust and dirt. (It’s worth noting that, unlike  
LENSES  
competitive brands, Leupold scopes are waterproof even without the  
caps in place.)  
Leupold scope lenses are coated to reduce light reflections and light  
scattering, thus increasing light transmission through the scope. They  
should be cleaned as carefully as you would a camera lens. Begin by  
using a lens brush to remove dust and then pure alcohol, high-grade  
glass cleaner, or pure water on a cotton swab.  
EYEPIECE ADjUSTMENT  
This adjustment is permanently lubricated. There is no need to  
lubricate it. The eyepiece can be rotated as far as it will go in either  
direction. It will not detach from the scope as there is an internal  
lock ring.

Leupold scopes are made of rugged 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum alloy.  
No maintenance of any kind is required; simply wipe off any dirt or  
fingerprints that accumulate with a clean, dry cloth.  
Before you ship a scope back to the factory for service or repair,  
please check the following items.  
38  
1. Check the mount. Make sure the scope is mounted securely to  
the rifle. Try, with bare hands only, to gently twist the scope in  
the rings or see if anything moves when you jiggle it. If there  
is any movement, retighten the mounting system according to  
mounting instructions.

2. Make sure the action of your rifle is properly bedded in the  
stock, and that all receiver screws are tight and have been  
tightened in the sequence recommended by the manufacturer.  
A loosely fitted stock can cause changes to the point-of-impact.  
3. When test firing a rifle to check the point-of-impact relative to  
windage and elevation adjustments, be sure to fire from a solid  
bench with sandbags supporting the forearm and buttstock.  
4. Be sure to use factory-loaded ammunition of the same bullet  
type, weight, and preferably, lot number. If one type of ammu-  
nition does not shoot well, try another brand or bullet weight.  
5. Be certain that both the barrel and chamber are clean. Heavy  
factory grease or copper fouling on an older one can diminish  
the accuracy of the firearm.

4. Passez à TERMINER L’INSTALLATION.  
1. Sans déplacer la position de l’œil optimale, tournez la lunette de visée  
jusqu’à ce que le cadran d’ajustement d’élévation soit au sommet de la  
lunette de visée.  
Veuillez lire ce manuel en entier aVant de monter  
Votre lunette de Visée.  
– mise en garde –  
Vérifiez toujours et assurez-vous que l’arme à feu soit déchargée  
avant d’entreprendre tout travail sur l’arme.  
REMARQUE : pour confirmer que votre lunette de visée est  
montée à la meilleure position possible, essayez plusieurs positions  
: à genoux, assis, accroupi et en visant en amont et en aval.  
Rappelez-vous que viser en amont réduit typiquement la position  
de l’œil. Il est recommandé de porter des vêtements de chasse/tir  
car cela pourrait modifier légèrement la position de l’œil.  
– avertissement –  
Si une lunette de visée est montée très loin vers l’arrière, l’oculaire  
de visée pourrait blesser le front du tireur. Tirer dans un angle  
en amont augmente aussi ce danger car cela réduit la distance  
entre le front et l’arrière de la lunette de visée. Pour cette raison,  
les lunettes de visée Leupold sont aussi fabriquées pour offrir  
une bonne position de l’œil. Donc, en montant votre lunette de  
visée, nous recommandons de la placer aussi loin que possible  
vers l’avant dans les montures pour tirer profit de cette généreuse  
position de l’œil.  
2. D’une position de tir, vérifiez pour vous assurer que le fil vertical  
du réticule s’aligne avec l’axe vertical de l’arme à feu. Un mauvais  
alignement n’affectera pas l’exactitude à des distances modérées, mais  
pourrait réduire l’exactitude de grande portée.  
établissement de la position de l’oeil pour les  
carabines et fusils  
À cause des considérations de sécurité associées à la bonne position de l’œil,  
Leupold recommande fortement de monter votre lunette de visée aussi loin  
que possible vers l’avant. Suivez aussi les étapes suivantes :  
3. Lorsque vous avez ce que vous recherchez, resserrez bien les vis de  
l’anneau uniformément.  
44  
mise au point du réticule  
1. Avec la lunette de visée aussi loin que possible vers l’avant des  
montures, tenez la carabine dans votre position normale de tir. (Les  
lunettes de visée à grossissement variable devraient être placées à la  
valeur de grossissement la plus élevée pour cette démarche.)  
Installez bien la lunette de visée et l’arme à feu dans un appui ferme. Pointez  
la lunette de visée vers un objet pâle à l’arrière-plan. Avec la lunette de visée  
à environ quatre pouces de votre œil, le réticule devrait être précis et net; si tel  
n’est pas le cas, il faut ajuster la mise au point avec l’oculaire.  
2. Déplacez lentement la lunette de visée vers l’arrière jusqu’à ce que  
vous voyiez un champ de visée complet.  
Si votre lunette de visée Leupold est l’un de nos modèles à oculaire à anneau  
de verrouillage, suivez ces étapes simples :  
terminer linstallation  
3. Placez votre lunette de visée ici pour une position de l’œil maximale.  
1. Agrippez l’oculaire de la main et reculez de l’anneau de verrouillage.

de la lunette de visée.  
établir des ajustements précis de dériVe et d’éléVation  
Le style d’ajustements d’élévation et de dérive sur les lunettes de visée pour  
carabine varie selon les modèles. Chacun est clairement marqué en incréments  
faciles à lire. Si, par exemple, il y a quatre symboles de numéro de zéro à (y  
compris) le chiffre un sur un bouton d’ajustement, alors la valeur de chaque  
incrément d’ajustement sur ce bouton est de 1/4-MOA. C’est la même chose  
pour les cadrans d’ajustement Leupold. Un MOA déplace le point d’impact à  
100 verges par pouce. À 100 mètres, il se déplace de 29 mm.  
2. Si vous avez l’habitude de tenir les choses loin de vous-même pour voir  
clairement (vous êtes hypermétrope), tournez l’oculaire dans le sens  
antihoraire de quelques tours. Si vous tenez les choses près de vous-  
même pour les voir clairement (vous êtes myope), tournez l’oculaire  
dans le sens horaire de quelques tours.  
ajustements de dériVe et d’éléVation des lunettes de  
Visée de cible et tactiques  
Les lunettes de visée de cible, de compétition et la plupart des lunettes de  
visée tactiques Leupold offrent des ajustements de dérive et d’élévation  
de style micromètre. Vous pouvez entendre et sentir un clic pour chaque  
division d’ajustement ce qui vous permet d’ajuster sans regarder les cadrans.  
Les indicateurs de la partie micromètre du cadran présentent le nombre de  
rotations complètes de 360˚ terminées.  
3. Regardez par la lunette de visée pointée vers le ciel et jetez un coup  
d’œil au réticule. La mise au point du réticule devrait être vraiment  
différente du point de départ. Continuez cette procédure jusqu’à ce que  
le réticule semble

4. Lorsque vous êtes satisfait de l’image du réticule, tournez l anneau de  
verrouillage pour qu’il repose fermement contre l’oculaire.  
Toutes les lunettes de visée Leupold comprennent des cadrans d’ajustement  
pouvant être repositionnés pour aligner le zéro du cadran avec l’indicateur  
de position sans modifier le réglage d’ajustement de la lunette de visée. Ceci  
permet au tireur de connaître le zéro original de la carabine s’il doit effectuer  
d’autres ajustements sur le terrain. Pour repositionner les cadrans des modèles

Rifleman, VX-I, et FX-I, placez une pièce de monnaie ou un tournevis  
dans la fente du cadran numéroté et tournez-le pour que le zéro s’aligne avec  
la marque de l’indicateur à ligne étampée sur le dessus de la vis d’ajustement  
perpendiculaire à la fente de monnaie.  
4. Installez les vis de réglage.  
2. Comptez les clics ou les marques de numéro et tournez jusqu’au bout  
dans l’autre direction.  
Pour repositionner les cadrans des modèles Target et Tatical :  
3. Ramenez le cadran à la moitié des clics ou marques de numéro  
comptés précédemment.  
1. Desserrez les vis de réglage qui entourent le dessus du bouton jusqu’à ce  
que le barillet tourne librement.  
Les modèles VX-II et FX-II ont un cadran à flèche qui se déplace avec la  
fente d’ajustement. Ce cadran peut aussi se déplacer indépendamment pour  
s’aligner avec le zéro du cadran extérieur. Pour repositionner ce cadran,  
tournez-le tout simplement jusqu’à ce que la flèche s’aligne avec le zéro.  
Les modèles VX-3 et FX-3 ont un cadran indicateur qui peut se déplacer  
indépendamment pour s’aligner avec le zéro du cadran d’ajustement. Pour  
repositionner ce cadran, tournez-le tout simplement jusqu’à ce que l’encoche  
d’indication de position s’aligne avec le zéro du cadran d’ajustement.  
4. Répétez cette démarche pour l’ajustement d’élévation.  
2. Déplacez le cadran du barillet à la main pour aligner le zéro avec la marque  
blanche perpendiculaire à la base du barillet.  
utiliser le réticule éclairé  
Toutes les lunettes de visée à réticule éclairé Leupold peuvent servir en mode  
courant ou éclairé. Lorsque l’appareil n’est pas éclairé, le réticule joue le même  
rôle qu’un réticule de lunette de visée standard Leupold. Éclairer le réticule  
permet de mieux distinguer dans des conditions de mauvais éclairage entre la  
cible et la position précise du point ciblé.  
3. Resserrez les vis de réglage jusqu’à ce que le barillet soit fixé solidement.  
46  
centrer les ajustements de dériVe et d’éléVation pour  
obtenir un déplacement optimal  
Les ajustements de dérive et d’élévation déplacent tout le système érecteur  
horizontalement et verticalement à l’intérieur de la lunette de visée. Si le  
système érecteur est déplacé d’un côté, suite à un montage sur une monture  
non réglable, les ajustements ne permettront pas de déplacement égal dans  
toutes les directions. Pour retrouver un déplacement complet équilibré, vous  
devez recentrer l’ajustement comme suit :

Pour éclairer le réticule :  
1. Desserrez le couvercle d’ajustement jusqu’à ce qu’il “ressorte”, révélant  
bien ainsi les marques d’ajustement et les vis de réglage.  
1. Agrippez le cadran d’éclairage sur le dessus du corps de l’oculaire.  
2. Tournez le cadran dans le sens horaire de la position « OFF » au premier  
chiffre sur le cadran.  
2. Desserrez les vis de réglage qui entourent le dessus du cadran.  
3. Déplacez le cadran du barillet à la main pour aligner le zéro avec le repère  
dorée à la base du barillet.  
3. Regardez la cible par la lunette de visée pour déterminer si le réticule est  
assez clair pour ressortir clairement par rapport à la cible.  
1. Tournez l’ajustement de dérive jusqu’à ce qu’il cesse d’avancer.

manera uniforme y segura.  
– advertencia –  
Si una mira telescópica se coloca demasiado atrás, el visor puede  
lesionar la ceja del tirador. Al disparar en ángulo ascendente tam-  
bién se aumenta este riesgo porque se reduce la distancia entre la  
ceja y la parte posterior de la mira telescópica. Por este motivo, las  
miras telescópicas Leupold están diseñadas para evitar al máximo  
la fatiga ocular.  
1. Con la mira telescópica en la posición más avanzada posible sobre la  
base de montaje, sujete el rifle en la posición normal de tiro. (Para este  
proceso se recomienda ajustar las miras de amplificación variable en la  
máxima posición de aumento).  
cómo enfocar la retícula  
Fije la mira telescópica y el arma de fuego en un apoyo firme. Apunte de  
manera segura la mira telescópica a un objeto con fondo de color claro. Con la  
mira a aproximadamente a cuatro pulgadas de su ojo, la retícula debe apare-  
cer nítida y bien definida; de lo contrario, será necesario ajustar el enfoque  
por medio del ocular.  
2. Desplace lentamente la mira telescópica hacia atrás justo hasta obtener  
un campo visual completo.  
Por lo tanto, al instalar su mira telescópica, le recomendamos colo-  
carla en la posición más adelantada posible sobre  
la base de montaje a fin de aprovechar al máximo esta ventaja  
práctica para la reducción de la fatiga ocular.  
3. Coloque la mira telescópica aquí para reducir al mínimo la fatiga ocular.  
4. Continúe para TERMINAR LA INSTALACIÓN.  
Si su mira Leupold es uno de nuestros modelos con un ocular que viene con  
un anillo de sujeción, siga estos pasos sencillos:  
49  
NOTA: Para confirmar que su mira telescópica esté instalada en  
la mejor posición posible, pruebe varias posiciones:  
de rodillas, sentado, tendido y apuntando con ángulo ascendente  
o descendente. No se olvide que al apuntar con  
un ángulo ascendente normalmente se reduce la fatiga ocular. Se  
recomienda el uso de ropa especial para cacería/  
1. Sujete el ocular con la mano y retrocédalo para desprenderlo del anillo  
de sujeción. Después que el anillo de sujeción esté libre del ocular,  
gírelo a la derecha para alejarlo del ocular y apartarlo durante el ajuste.  
para terminar la instalación  
1. Sin perturbar la posición óptima para evitar la fatiga visual, gire la mira  
telescópica hasta que el cuadrante de ajuste de elevación  
se encuentre en la parte superior de la mira telescópica.  
2. Si usted tiende a alejar los objetos para verlos con mayor claridad  
(hipermetropía) gire a la izquierda el ocular un par de vueltas.  
Si usted tiende a acercar los objetos para verlos con mayor claridad  
(miopía) gire a la derecha el ocular un par de vueltas.  
2. Desde una posición de tiro, verifique que la línea vertical de la retícula  
esté alineada con el eje vertical del arma de fuego.

de miras telescópicas tácticas tienen ajustes de precisión estilo micrométrico  
por efecto del viento y de la elevación.  
Las letras que se encuentran en los cuadrantes de corrección por efecto del  
viento y de elevación se refieren a la dirección a la que se desplaza el punto  
de impacto del proyectil cuando se realiza un ajuste.  
Se puede escuchar y sentir un clic por cada marca de ajuste lo cual permite  
realizar los ajustes a la mira telescópica sin necesidad de ver los cuadrantes.  
Los indicadores en la porción del micrómetro del cuadrante muestran el número  
completo de giros de 360˚ que se hayan realizado.  
4. Cuando la imagen de la retícula sea satisfactoria, gire el anillo de  
sujeción de manera que éste se apoye firmemente contra el ocular.

La cubierta de ajuste está integrada al mecanismo de ajuste. Si desea efectuar  
una corrección, sencillamente gire la cubierta de ajuste hacia la izquierda  
hasta que ésta “salte”, y revele completamente las marcas de indicación de  
ajuste, y entonces realice la corrección apropiada. Para fijar la cubierta de  
ajuste, haga presión hacia abajo a la vez que aprieta la cubierta.

cómo realizar ajustes de precisión por efecto del  
Viento y de la eleVación  
El estilo de los ajustes de elevación y corrección por efectos del viento (deriva)  
en las miras telescópicas Leupold varía con los modelos específicos. Sin  
embargo, cada una viene claramente marcada con incrementos de fácil lectura.  
Si por ejemplo, hay cuatro marcas de  
referencia desde cero hasta el número uno en una perilla de ajuste (ambos  
valores inclusive), entonces el valor de cada incremento de ajuste en dicha per-  
illa es de 1/4 de MOA. Esta convención es la misma en todos los cuadrantes  
de ajuste Leupold. Una unidad MOA  
50  
Todas las miras telescópicas Leupold incluyen cuadrantes de ajuste que se  
pueden volver a colocar para alinear la marca de cero del cuadrante con el  
indicador de posición sin cambiar el valor de ajuste de la mira. Lo anterior  
permite al tirador conocer el cero original en el rifle en caso de que sea  
necesario realizar ajustes adicionales en el campo. Para volver a colocar los  
cuadrantes en los modelos Rifleman®, VX®-I, y FX-I, coloque una moneda o  
un destornillador en la ranura del cuadrante numerado y gire dicho cuadrante  
de manera que el cero quede alineado con la marca indicadora de línea  
estampada en la parte superior del tornillo de ajuste que es perpendicular a la  
ranura para la moneda.

Los modelos VX-II y FX-II tienen un cuadrante apuntador que se mueve con la  
ranura de ajuste. El cuadrante también se puede mover independientemente  
para alinearse con el cero en el cuadrante más externo. Para volver a colocar  
este cuadrante sencillamente gírelo hasta que el apuntador quede alineado  
con el cero. Los modelos VX-3 y FX-3 tienen un cuadrante indicador que se  
puede mover independientemente para alinearse con el cero en el cuadrante  
de ajuste. Para volver a colocar este cuadrante gírelo simplemente hasta que

cómo usar la retícula iluminada  
Todas las miras telescópicas de Leupold con retículas iluminadas se pueden  
utilizar en estado estándar o en estado iluminado. Al no estar iluminada, la  
retícula funciona de la misma manera que la retícula en una mira telescópica  
Leupold estándar. En condiciones de iluminación deficiente la iluminación de  
la retícula permite diferenciar mejor entre el objetivo y la posición exacta del  
punto de mira.

para lograr un desplazamiento de ajuste óptimo  
Al hacer ajustes de corrección por efecto del viento y de la elevación se  
desplaza la totalidad del sistema erector horizontal y verticalmente en la mira  
telescópica. Si este sistema está desviado hacia un lado – como resultado de  
haberlo instalado sobre una base de montaje no ajustable – los ajustes no  
proporcionarán un desplazamiento equivalente en todas las direcciones. Para  
recuperar el desplazamiento completo y equilibrado, será necesario volver a  
centrar el ajuste de la manera siguiente:

Wird ein Zielfernrohr zu weit hinten montiert, besteht die Gefahr,  
dass das Okular den Schützen an der Braue verletzt. Schießen  
in einem Aufwärtswinkel erhöht diese Gefahr, weil dabei der  
Abstand zwischen der Braue und dem Okular des Zielfernrohrs  
verkürzt wird. Leupold Zielfernrohre sind aus diesem Grund mit  
großzügigem Augenabstand konzipiert. Leupold empfiehlt, dass  
Sie das Zielfernrohr so weit vorne wie möglich montieren, um in

cannoccHiale di mira.  
NOTA: Per avere la conferma che il cannocchiale è montato  
nella migliore posizione possibile, provare varie posizioni:  
in ginocchio, seduti, proni, e puntare sia verso l’alto, sia  
verso il basso. Ricordarsi che quando si punta verso l’alto  
di norma si riduce la distanza dell’oculare dall’occhio. Per  
questa operazione si consiglia di indossare indumenti da  
caccia/poligono in quanto potrebbero contribuire ad alterare  
leggermente le considerazioni sulla distanza dell’oculare  
dall’occhio.  
completamento del montaggio  
– attenzione –  
1. Senza alterare la distanza ottimale dell’oculare dall’occhio, ruotare  
il cannocchiale finché la manopola graduata di regolazione  
dell’elevazione è nella parte superiore del cannocchiale.  
Prima di iniziare qualsiasi lavoro sull’arma da fuoco, controllarla e  
accertarsi che sia scarica.  
distanza tra oculare e occHio sui fucili  
2. Dalla posizione di sparo, controllare e assicurarsi che l’incisione  
verticale del reticolo sia allineata con l’asse verticale dell’arma da  
fuoco. Un cattivo allineamento non influirà sulla precisione a distanze  
modeste, ma può diminuire la precisione a lunghe distanze.  
Date le considerazioni di sicurezza connesse a una corretta distanza  
dell’oculare dall’occhio, la Leupold raccomanda caldamente  
di montare il cannocchiale nella posizione più avanzata possibile. Eseguita  
l’operazione, procedere come segue:  
57  
– avvertenza –  
3. Quando si è soddisfatti, serrare bene le viti dei collari in  
modo uniforme.  
Se il cannocchiale è montato troppo indietro, l’oculare può ferire la  
fronte del tiratore in corrispondenza delle sopracciglia. Quando si  
spara verso l’alto si aumenta questo pericolo perché si diminuisce  
la distanza tra il sopracciglio e la parte posteriore del cannocchiale.  
Per questa ragione, i cannocchiali Leupold sono progettati in  
modo da consentire una notevole distanza dell’occhio dall’oculare.  
Raccomandiamo, quindi, durante il montaggio del cannocchiale, di  
posizionarlo sui supporti quanto più possibile in avanti, in modo da  
1. Con il cannocchiale montato nella posizione più avanzata possibile,  
tenere il fucile nella propria normale posizione di sparo.  
(Per questa procedura i cannocchiali a ingrandimento variabile vanno  
regolati al massimo ingrandimento).  
messa a fuoco del reticolo  
Assicurare il cannocchiale e l’arma da fuoco in un sostegno stabile. Puntare  
con sicurezza il cannocchiale verso un oggetto che abbia uno sfondo di colore  
chiaro. Col cannocchiale posto a circa 10 cm dall’occhio, il reticolo dovrebbe  
apparire nitido e ben definito. Se non lo è, regolare la messa a fuoco agendo  
sull’oculare.  
2. Far scorrere lentamente all’indietro il cannocchiale, fermandosi  
appena il campo visivo è completo.

dell’oculare dall’occhio.

Se il proprio modello di cannocchiale Leupold è uno di quelli munito di ghiera  
di bloccaggio, seguire questi semplici passi:  
mira Leupold Golden Ringscope è munito di un dispositivo  
interno che impedisce il distacco dell’oculare dal cannocchiale.  
Il coperchio della regolazione fa parte del meccanismo di quest’ultima. Se  
si desidera fare una correzione è sufficiente ruotare in senso antiorario il  
coperchio fino a quando “esce” esponendo le tacche indicatrici. Quindi, fare  
la correzione desiderata. Per fissare il coperchio è sufficiente spingerlo verso il  
basso mentre lo si serra.  
1. Afferrare con la mano l’oculare e tirarlo indietro per allontanarlo dalla  
ghiera. Quando la ghiera di bloccaggio è libera dall’oculare, girarla  
in senso orario, allontanandola dall’oculare, per non ostacolare la  
regolazione.  
messa a punto precisa della deriVazione e  
delleleVazione  
Le modalità di regolazione dell’elevazione e della derivazione per i cannocchiali  
di mira Leupold per fucili cambiano a seconda del modello. Ogni regolazione  
è tuttavia eseguita con incrementi di facile lettura. Se, per esempio, vi sono  
quattro tacche da zero a uno (compreso) sulla manopola di regolazione,  
il valore di ogni regolazione, con quella manopola, è pari a 1/4 di minuto  
d’angolo. Lo stesso vale per tutte le manopole di regolazione Leupold. Un  
minuto d’angolo sposta il punto di impatto di 1 pollice a 100 iarde. A 100  
metri, lo sposta di 29 mm.

cannoccHiali tattici e da puntamento  
2. Se si ha la tendenza ad allontanare le cose per vederle meglio  
(presbiopia) ruotare l’oculare in senso antiorario di un paio di giri.  
Se invece si tengono le cose più vicino agli occhi per vederle meglio  
(miopia) ruotare di un paio di giri l’oculare in senso orario.  
I cannocchiali Leupold Target e Competition (da puntamento e da gara),  
nonché la maggior parte di quelli di modello Tactical (tattici),  
sono dotati di dispositivi di regolazione della derivazione e dell’elevazione in  
stile micrometro.

3. Mentre si guarda attraverso il cannocchiale puntato verso il cielo, dare  
alcune rapide occhiate al reticolo. Ci dovrebbero essere delle differenze  
notevoli nella messa a fuoco del reticolo rispetto a prima. Continuare  
finché il reticolo appare chiaro e ben definito.  
Ad ogni regolazione si sente e si avverte uno scatto. Pertanto, le regolazioni  
dei cannocchiali possono essere fatte anche senza guardare  
le manopole graduate. Gli indicatori montati sulla parte in stile micrometro  
della manopole graduate indicano il numero di rotazioni a  
360° che si sono fatte.  
Le lettere sulle manopole di regolazione della derivazione e dell’elevazione  
indicano la direzione in cui si sposta il punto d’impatto del proiettile quando si  
esegue una regolazione.  
4. Quando si è soddisfatti dell’immagine del reticolo, ruotare la ghiera di  
bloccaggio in modo da farla appoggiare saldamente  
contro l’oculare.

I cannocchiali Leupold sono dotati di manopole graduate che possono essere  
riposizionate per allineare la tacca zero della manopola con l’indicatore di  
posizione senza dover cambiare la regolazione del cannocchiale. In questo  
modo il tiratore conosce lo zero originale del fucile, utile qualora fosse  
necessario eseguire ulteriori regolazioni su campo. Per riposizionare le  
manopole sui modelli Rifleman , VX -I, e FX -I: inserire una moneta o un  
cacciavite nella scanalatura del quadrante numerato e ruotarlo fino ad allineare  
lo zero con la linea di riferimento impressa sulla parte superiore della vite di  
regolazione che è perpendicolare alla scanalatura per la moneta.

ricentrare le regolazioni:  
2. Allentare i grani situati intorno alla parte superiore del quadrante.  
3. Spostare a mano il cilindro graduato fino ad allineare lo zero con la  
tacca dorata alla base del cilindro.  
1. Ruotare la regolazione di derivazione fino all’arresto.  
2. Ruotare completamente in senso opposto contando gli  
scatti o le tacche.  
4. Serrare i grani.

3. Ruotare la manopola in senso opposto per la metà degli  
scatti o delle tacche contati.  
1. Allentare i grani situati sulla corona esterna della parte superiore della  
manopola finché il cilindro ruota liberamente.  
4. Ripetere la procedura per la regolazione dell’elevazione.  
I modelli VX-II e FX-II sono muniti di un quadrante indicatore solidale con  
la scanalatura di regolazione. Anche tale quadrante può essere spostato  
indipendentemente per l’allineamento con lo zero della graduazione esterna.  
Per riposizionarlo è sufficiente ruotarlo finché l’indicatore è allineato con lo  
zero. I modelli VX-3 e FX-3 hanno un quadrante indicatore che può essere  
spostato indipendentemente per l’allineamento con lo zero della graduazione  
di regolazione. Per riposizionarlo è sufficiente ruotarlo finché la tacca  
indicatrice di posizione è allineata con lo zero della graduazione di regolazione.  
2. Spostare a mano il cilindro graduato fino ad allineare lo zero con la  
tacca bianca perpendicolare alla base del cilindro.

uso del reticolo illuminato  
Tutti i cannocchiali di mira Leupold con reticolo illuminato possono essere usati  
con o senza illuminazione. Quando non è illuminato, il reticolo si comporta  
come il reticolo dei cannocchiali standard Leupold. Lilluminazione del reticolo  
consente di distinguere meglio il preciso punto di mira sul bersaglio in  
condizioni di luce scarsa.
