scope must clear the bolt handle, hammer (on lever actions and handguns),
sights, and barrel.
When installed, be sure that your scope does not interfere with firearm
operation and does not contact anything except the mount rings.
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 “Centering Windage and Elevation Adjustments” on page 17 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" forward 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.
