eyepiece. It occurs when the image of the target does not fall on
the same optical plane as the reticle. This can cause a small shift
in the point of aim. Maximum parallax occurs when your eye is
at the very edge of the exit pupil (Even in this unlikely event, our
4x hunting scope focused for 150 yards has a maximum error of
only 8/10ths of an inch at 500 yards). At short distances, effects
of parallax do not affect accuracy (using the same 4x scope at 100
yards, the maximum error is less than 2/10ths of an inch ). It is
also good to remember that, as long as you are sighting straight
through the middle of the scope, or close to it, parallax will have
very little effect on accuracy.
INSTALLING A LENS ATTACHMENT
Many Leupold scopes offer threaded objective and eyepiece rings
to allow for the attachment of lens covers and a variety of Alu-

accessories. These attachments thread directly into the objec-
tive or eyepiece rings. Turn until finger tight – do not over tighten.
