Riflescopes have become far more sophisticated over the years, but the four
most basic parts have remained the same. Working from front to back they are:
1. The objective lens (or front lens) is critical to a superior sight picture.
2. The reticle, often referred to as the crosshair, provides the aiming point.
3. The internal erector lenses which rights the image.
4. The ocular lens (or eyepiece lens) works with the other lenses to magnify the
image, provide correct eye relief, and make diopter corrections.
How Scopes Work
As light passes through and beyond the objective lens, the resulting upside
down image is sent to the internal lenses. Known as erector lenses, these
internal lenses return the image to a right-side-up position. Finally, the ocular
lens makes a final enlargement of that image and sends it on to your eye.
Your Leupold scope was designed, manufactured, and tested to ensure that,
when properly mounted and sighted-in on your firearm, you will enjoy excep-
tional performance. A solid mount is critical to satisfactory performance of
your scope. If you have problems or questions, please contact Leupold Product
