Establishing Eye Relief On Rifles And Shotguns - Leupold THE OFFICIAL Owner's Handbook Manual

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:
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.
3. Position your scope here for maximum eye relief.
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.
