3. Carefully reinstall the top half of the rings evenly and securely
in a cross-torque pattern. Do not exceed over 15 inch-pounds
of torque as damages to the scope tube may occur. It is
recommended to grasp the Allen Wrench by it’s short end to
perform nal tightening. The scope is now ready to be zeroed.
1. For Leapers scopes, the reticle is on the second image plane. The
reticle does not change when the magnication is adjusted. But,
the space the reticle occupies on the target image does change
when magnication changes. The smaller the magnication, the
bigger space the reticle occupies on the target image.
E. understanding the reticle
Leapers offers a variety of reticles for different scopes. See
the following reticle information for details pertaining to your
specic scope reticle.

the Mil-dot reticle with 9 dots in each direction, including the
counting of the 2 inner tips of the opposite crosshairs, that
amounts to 21 available aiming points.
E-2. PRO 4-STEP RETICLE: Designed for the discriminating
crossbow shooters, the new etched glass Pro 4-step reticle comes
with 3 horizontal lines and 4 oating points. Only the oating points are
illuminated. The 3 horizontal lines with oating points in the middle are for
shooting at 20, 30 and 40 yard distances. The Free Floating (4th) point is
for shooting at 50 yards.
E-3. PRO 5-STEP RETICLE: The Pro 5-step reticle is designed for
crossbows. The reticle consists of ve horizontal lines and a vertical line.
There is a thin crosshair in the center. The horizontal lines are for aiming
at 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 yard distances. The lines are calibrated for 300fps
crossbows. The user needs to nd out the exact yardage of each line
during the zeroing process.
E-4. CIRCLE DOT RETICLE: The Circle Dot reticle includes a
oating circle and a dot in the center, which is ideal for shotgun shooting,
and y hunting as well as tactical applications requiring quick target
acquisition. It may be permanently etched on glass or formed by light
reection. For an etched Circle Dot, the typical size is about 1.8MOA for
the dot and about 36MOA for the circle. The reex Circle Dot is a reected
image of the light source and the typical size can be controlled to about
4MOA for the dot and about 62MOA for the circle.
E-5. PDC RETICLE: The PDC (Projectile Drop Compensation) reticle
of our handgun scope has 3 uniquely shaped marks positioned in the
lower region of the crosshair’s Y Axis just below the origin for ballistic
compensation at different yardages. Users can determine the actual POI
(Point of Impact) at each mark for their particular rearm and cartridge
following the zeroing procedure on page 12.
E-6. BUBBLE LEVELER EQUIPPED RETICLE: Bubble leveler
equipped reticles include a precision built-in bubble leveling system. The
internal bubble leveler is located at the bottom of crosshair with the least
eld of view impediment. It is a great tool for precision scope installation/
crosshair alignment to deliver the most prominent shooting accuracy.
E-7. ETCHED UMOA: The MOA (UMOA) reticle features hash marks
at MOA increments for precise bullet drop and wind drift compensation as
well as range estimation. At 10X magnication and 100 Yards, the reticle
provides a 4MOA (from end to end) center cross and equally distanced
hash marks at 2MOA all the way to 50MOA for hold over, 20MOA for hold
under, and 30MOA on each side for wind drift compensation. The center
cross can be illuminated to assist aiming under different light conditions.
E-8. ETCHED G4: The G4 reticle integrates the classic German #4
design with our innovative 36-color Illumination Enhanced (IE
®
) system.
Thick bars at 3, 6, and 9 o’clock positions help the eye quickly locate the
center of the reticle, yet, leave a space of 10 milliradians at 10X and 100
Yards from left to right allowing a less obstructed view. The ne horizontal
and vertical lines along with a 0.5MOA center dot at 10X and 100 Yards
provide the ability for precise aiming whenever needed.
E-9. PRECISION T-DOT: The T-Dot reticle is ideally used for fast
center mass and T-zone aiming applications where getting shots on target
quickly is a priority. The reticle consists of a single oating dot in the center
as the aiming point with three oating posts arranged at the dot’s 3, 6,
and 9 O’clock positions. The posts are very quickly picked up by the eye,
framing your target, while the single dot provides precision aiming of the
area of interest on the target.
E-10. DUPLEX RETICLE: Duplex reticle consists of thin crosshairs
in the center and four posts extending to the reticle perimeter from the
edges of the thin crosshairs. The thicker posts stand out against the
E-1. MIL-DOT RETICLE: The Mil-dot reticle including wire and
etched reticles, is the most widely used reticle on Leapers scopes which
provides range estimating capability. The reticle has a big crosshair with
multiple dots (or hash marks in order to save space) spread equally apart
on its lines in the central area. The distance between two adjacent dots is
designed to be 1 milli-radian or 3.44MOA at 10X.
Regular Mil-dot reticles currently on the market usually have 4 dots in each
direction. Leapers scopes have 6 or 9 dots in each direction, depending
on the scope model, providing more exibility for range estimating. For
