3 Y ou ’ re P a r t of the T r adi t io n In a sport rich in tradition, Leupold® has earned its place as one of the classic names in hunting and shooting. To be sure , the Golden Ring® scope you now own is the finest example of Leupold heritage .
4 K now Y our Sco pe P A RT S O F THE SC OPE 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.

6 THE LOWER T HE SCOP E, THE BE T TER 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.
7 INST ALLING 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.
8 EST ABLI SHI NG E YE REL IEF ON RIFLES A ND SH OTGUNS Because of the safety considerations associated with proper eye relief, Leupold strongly recommends that you mount your scope as far forward as possible.
9 Leupold riflescopes are engineered to provide a generous 3" to 5" eye relief, depending on the model and the magnification level. W ARNING If a scope is mounted too far to the rear , the eyepiec e can inj ure the sho oter ’ s br ow .
10 EST ABLISHING 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.
11 Unlike riflescopes, adjustments to the eyepiece in handgun scopes affect the eye relief as well as the reticle focus. T urning the eye - piece clockwise increases eye relief and turning it counterclockwise decreases it. COMPLETING THE INST ALLA TION 1.
12 If your Leupold scope is one of our models with an eyepiece that has a lock ring, follow these simple steps: 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 clo ckwis e aw ay f rom the eyep ie ce to kee p it ou t of the way during the adjustment.
13 If your Leupold scope is one of our models without an eyepiece lock ring, follow these simple steps: 1. All adjustment is made with the eyepiece. 2.

If you are several inches off center , make an appropriate amount of adjustment to move the reticle to the center of the target.
17 Mak ing Precise Win da g e A nd El e vat io n Adj ust men t s The style of elevation and windage adjustments on Leupold riflescopes varies with specific models.
18 ADJUSTING WINDAGE AND ELEV A TION ON VX ® -7 RIFLESCOPES (SPEEDIAL ™ ) The adjustment cover is integral to the adjustment mechanism. T o make a correction, simply rotate the adjustment cover counter - clockwise until it “pops up,” fully revealing the adjustment indica - tion markings, and make the appropriate correction.
19 ADJUSTING WINDAGE AND ELEV A TION ON T ARGET AND T ACTICAL SCOPES Leupold T arget, Competition, and most T actical scopes have micrometer-style windage and elevation adjustments. A click for each adjustment division can be both heard and felt so adjustments to the scope can be made without looking at the dials.
20 BULLE T DRO P COMPEN SA T IO N DIA L S Special bullet drop compensation (BDC) elevation dials are featured on selected scopes. These dials are calibrated to achieve adjustment to specific distances rapidly by distance indicators marked directly on the dials.
21 VX-ll, VX-3, FX-ll and FX-3 dials have a separate pointer dial that can be adjusted to indicate the new zero position. VX-II and FX-II models have a pointer dial that moves with the adjustment slot. This dial also can be moved independently to align with the zero on the outermost dial.
22 T o reposition the dials on VX-7 riflescopes: 1. Unscrew the adjustment cover until it “pops up,” fully reveal - ing the adjustment indication markings and set screws.
23 T o reposition the dials on T arget and T actical models: 1. Loosen the set screws that surround the top of the knob until the cylinder turns freely . 2. Move the cylinder dial by hand to align the zero with the white perpendicular mark at the base of the cylinder .
24 CENT ERIN G WI NDAGE AN D ELE V A TI ON ADJUS TMEN T S TO ACHI EV E OP T IM UM ADJUS TMEN T TR A V EL Making windage and elevation adjustments moves the entire erector system horizontally and vertically inside the scope.
25 W hat Y ou Sh oul d K now A bout V a r iab le P ower Sco pes Leupold variable power scopes allow you to select from a range of magnifications to suit your particular rifle, cartridge, and shooting needs. WARNING: Do not loosen the screw in the power selector ring.
26 V X- 7 BA LLI ST IC S IN DIC A TOR R ING Certain ballistics-compensation reticles such as the Boone and Crockett, and Varmint Hunter’ s reticle may require tuning to achieve maximum precision with multiple loads. The VX-7 ballistics indicator ring allows you to manually set a reference point for your current tra - jectory .
27 R A NGE ES TIM A T IN G WI TH V X-3 SCOPES Selected VX-3 scopes have a built-in range estimator . This system uses the Duplex ® portion of the reticle in combination with an additional set of numbers on th e power selector ring. (Also see the Leupold Range Es timatin g Reticle Instructions for other reticle types.
28 On scopes with this feature, the numbers facing forward show the scope’ s magnification settings. The numbers facing the back are for ranging and show the distances in yards, as shown in Figure C. T o estimate range, follow these steps: 1. View the target through the scope.
29 UNDERST ANDING P ARALLAX 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.

THE A DV AN T AGE OF A DJUST ABL E P A R A LL A X S ET TI NG SCO PES T arget shooting and varmint hunting demand extreme accuracy . Y ou must have a scope with a parallax adjustment dial for precise shooting at various ranges.
31 T o eliminate parallax in adjustable objective and long range (side focus) scopes, follow these steps: 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.
32 1. T urn the focus ring counterclockwise (when viewing though the eyepiec e) until it stops. 2. T urn the focus ring clockwise until the “10m” mark aligns with the indicat or mark on the bell of the scope. 3. From this point, all readings of the focus ring are in numerical order when the ring is turned clockwise from the shooting position.
33 Usin g t he I llu m in a t ed R e t ic le All Leupold Illuminated Reticle scopes may be used in either the standard or the illuminated state. When not illuminated, the reticle performs the same a s the reticle in a standard Leupold scope.
34 T o illuminate the reticle: 1. Grasp the illumination dial located at the top of the eyepiece shell. 2. T urn the dial clockwise from the OFF position to the first number indicated on the dial. 3. View the target through the scope to determine if the reticle is bright enough to stand out clearly against the target.
35 Chang ing t he Bat ter y All Leupold Illuminated Reticle scopes use a 3-volt lithium photo battery . See page 36. T o change the battery: 1. Remove the battery cover by grasping its edge (located a.
36 This can be done in two ways: a. Grasp the edges of the battery between the thumb and forefinger and lift it free of the dial. OR b. T urn the scope so that the illumination dial faces downward and gently tap the eyepiece against the edge of your palm.
