Mounting; Dioptric Compensation - Leica ER 2,5–10x42 Anleitung

MountIng

The most important prerequisite for maintaining a
consistent point of impact is correct mounting of the
riflescope on the rifle. There is a variety of d if er e nt
mounting systems available from appropriate retail-
ers. We recommend that you use only high-quality
components from well-known manufacturers, com-
ponents which will do justice to the high-quality of
your Leica ER riflescope.
If you choose to perform the mounting process
yourself, be sure the rifle is unloaded and exercise
standard firearm safe handling procedures. Attach
the scope perfectly flush and under no strain, while
following the written instructions of the manufac turer
of the mounting system. However, for optimal results
Leica recommends entrusting this task to a qualified
gunsmith.

DIoptrIc coMpensatIon

Your Leica ER riflescope is adjustable to suit your
eyes using dioptric compensation. To do this, rotate
the eyepiece cup (1a) of the eyepiece (1) so that
you can see the reticle at its sharpest focus. For the
sharpest setting possible, we recommend
– aiming the riflescope at a neutral, bright back-
ground as you do this and
– i nitially turning the rotating eyepiece cup fully to
the right (in the minus direction, see index point
2) and then turning it back from this position in
the plus direction until you find the sharpest focus
for the reticle. This process takes into account of
the difering accommodation abilities of the eye
and thus ensures an ideal setting. Also, it is best
if you do not look through the scope for extended
periods of time while performing this procedure.
Rather, look through the scope briefly, make your
adjustment, look away for a second or two, and
then look back through the scope. If you look
through the scope for too long, your eye will try
to compensate for any lack of sharpness in your
image, potentially resulting in an inaccurate ad-
justment.
