School me on the Leupold Scope
« on: November 29, 2010, 02:11:39 PM »
I just got a used Leupold M8 EER 2x20 that came with my .444 TC barrell today.This is my first Leupold and I bore sighted it today and to move it up I must go down and the same with the right and left.What am i missing here.All my other scopes seem to go in the direction indicated.What are the adjustments on this scope 1/2 or 1/4.Doesn't say.I know its probaby simple but I am missing it some how.Maybe you guys can get me on the right track...Thanks

Every one I bore site is backwards from indicated when using a collimator. This is normal.

The "click" movement will depend on age of the scope. Although I'm thinking it's 1/2minute.
Dosen't have clicks tho rite? Just little marks it's a friction not click.

If you are trying to move the recticle to the bullet hole or laser point, then you have to reverse everything.

If you are firing, and your bullet impact needs to be moved up, down, or sideways, then the direction arrows on the turrets can be followed. 

Confusing until you do it once and understand what is happening - then it's simple to understand.  Good luck.

With a 2X scope, you will probably see the end of the barrel in your picture.  I like this, as I think it helps me acquire a moving target.  You may want to remore the front sight on your rifle barrel however, for a clearer picture.
