How to Install Leupold Scope Rings

Adding a scope to your rifle can increase your accuracy dramatically. Leupold produces scope rings and mounts that will allow you to mount a scope to your rifle. Leupold scope rings can be used to mount any kind of optical tube-style scope, and that is not just limited to Leupold scopes. Most rifle manufacturers have pre-drilled screw holes in the upper receiver in anticipation of your mounting a scope. The holes have plug screws in them to prevent rust from accumulating.

Things You'll Need

Small flat-head screwdriver

Instructions

- 1
  Clean the surfaces of the rifle̵7;s upper receiver and the scope mounts.
- 2
  Remove the plug screws from the rifle̵7;s receiver with your screwdriver. Typically, there are two in front of the chamber and two behind it.
- 3
  Attach the Leupold mounts on the upper receiver with the supplied screws.
- 4
  Place the base of the scope ring into the hole on top of the mount with the rings parallel to the barrel. Turn the rings 90 degrees; the rings will lock into place. The scope rings are now ready to have a scope installed.
