Elevation And Windage Adjustment; Changing Magnification - Leica ER 2,5–10x42 Anleitung

elevatIon anD wInDage aDjustMent

If the aiming point and point of impact are not the
same, the reticle needs adjusting in relation to the
rifle. This operation is performed using the two ad-
justing turrets – 5 for elevation, 6 for windage – both
in the same manner.
First unscrew the protective cap (5.a/6.a) counter-
clockwise. When the cap is removed, the knurled
wheel 5.b/6.b becomes visible, as does the associ-
ated scale 5.c/6.c and the corresponding index
point 5.d/6.d. The knurled wheels have a very fine
index - one click corresponds to

If the impact point is 2 inches high, correction in a
downward direction is required. Turn knurled wheel
5.b counter clockwise for 8 clicks; turn it clockwise
for correction in an upward direction, i.e. if the im-
pact point is low.
The process is the same for windage corrections.

changIng MagnIfIcatIon

Turn adjusting ring 4. to change magnification –
to the right for lower magnifications, to the left for
higher ones. Lug 4.a facilitates orientation in the
dark. For example, if it is pointing upwards, it means
magnification is set – to 7x in the case of the LEICA
ER 3.5–14 x42.
