Foreword
Dear Customer,
All over the world, Leica stands for top quality precision engineering with extreme reliability and a long
life.
We wish you much enjoyment and success with your
new Leica ER riflescope.
Your Leica ER riflescope is equipped with outstanding optics which deliver a clear, bright image, even
under difficult conditions, ensuring a reliable aim at
all times. It is also simple and functional in operation.
To ensure that you get the best out of this highquality riflescope, we recommend reading these
instructions first.

Mounting
The most important prerequisite for maintaining a
consistent point of impact is correct mounting of the
riflescope on the rifle. There is a variety of diferent
mounting systems available from appropriate retailers. We recommend that you use only high-quality
components from well-known manufacturers, components which will do justice to the high-quality of
your Leica ER riflescope.
If you choose to perform the mounting process
yourself, be sure the rifle is unloaded and exercise
standard firearm safe handling procedures. Attach
the scope perfectly flush and under no strain, while
following the written instructions of the manufacturer
of the mounting system. However, for optimal results
Leica recommends entrusting this task to a qualified
gunsmith.
Dioptric Compensation
Your Leica ER riflescope is adjustable to suit your
eyes using dioptric compensation. To do this, rotate
the eyepiece cup (1a) of the eyepiece (1) so that
you can see the reticle at its sharpest focus. For the
sharpest setting possible, we recommend
– aiming the riflescope at a neutral, bright background as you do this and
– initially turning the rotating eyepiece cup fully to
the right (in the minus direction, see index point
2) and then turning it back from this position in
the plus direction until you find the sharpest focus
for the reticle. This process takes into account of
the differing accommodation abilities of the eye
and thus ensures an ideal setting. Also, it is best
if you do not look through the scope for extended
periods of time while performing this procedure.
Rather, look through the scope briefly, make your
adjustment, look away for a second or two, and
then look back through the scope. If you look
through the scope for too long, your eye will try
to compensate for any lack of sharpness in your
image, potentially resulting in an inaccurate adjustment.
Parallax Compensation
Leica ER 2.5–10×42 riflescopes are set parallaxfree to a distance of 100m, as is usual for models
with magnifications ≤12x. In other words, you can
simultaneously see the reticle (following dioptric
compensation, see previous section) and a target at
this distance with perfect sharpness, regardless of
whether or not your eye is in the exact optical axis
of the riflescope. Deviations of the impact point as
a result of the eye not being precisely centered are
generally negligible.
However, these deviations have to be taken into
account for significantly greater or smaller target distances, which is why riflescopes with magnification
ranges beyond 12x, like the LEICA ER 3.5–14×42
for example, have an additional setting option for
these kinds of distances: parallax compensation.
On the left side of the scope tube, turn the parallax
adjusting ring (7) until the image of the target and
the reticle are both displayed in sharp focus(or so
that the engraving for the required distance on scale
7a is opposite index 7b). For the most accurate
setting possible, we recommend always using the
greatest magnification. You have achieved the ideal
setting when the reticle and the image do not move
towards one another if you change the position of
your eye in relation to the eyepiece.
Elevation and Windage Adjustment
If the aiming point and point of impact are not the
same, the reticle needs adjusting in relation to the
rifle. This operation is performed using the two adjusting turrets – 5 for elevation, 6 for windage – both
in the same manner.
First unscrew the protective cap (5.a/6.a) counterclockwise. When the cap is removed, the knurled
wheel 5.b/6.b becomes visible, as does the associated scale 5.c/6.c and the corresponding index
point 5.d/6.d. The knurled wheels have a very fine
index – one click corresponds to 1
/4 MOA (minute of
angle) or 1
/240 of a degree, and thus to a deviation of
the impact point of 1
/4 inch at 100 yards or 7.3mm
in at 100m (no account taken of ballistic conditions).
If the impact point is 2 inches high, correction in a
downward direction is required. Turn knurled wheel
5.b counter clockwise for 8 clicks; turn it clockwise
for correction in an upward direction, i.e. if the impact point is low.
The process is the same for windage corrections.
If the impact point is to the right 1.5 inches, correction to the left is required, turn knurled wheel
6.b counter clockwise 6 clicks; turn it clockwise for
correction to the right, i.e. if the impact point is to
the left.
Changing Magnification
Turn adjusting ring 4. to change magnification –
to the right for lower magnifications, to the left for
higher ones. Lug 4.a facilitates orientation in the
dark. For example, if it is pointing upwards, it means
magnification is set – to 7x in the case of the LEICA
ER 3.5–14×42.
Care/Cleaning
Your Leica ER riflescope requires no special care.
Coarse particles of dirt such as sand should be removed with a soft brush or blown away. Fingerprints
or similar on objective and eyepiece lenses can be
pre-cleaned with a soft cloth and then wiped off
with a soft, clean chamois or dust-free cloth (we
recommend LEICA Anti Fog Solution). When cleaning, always hold your scope so that the lens you are
cleaning faces the ground, thereby allowing foreign
objects to fall free of the scope rather than being
pushed around the lens surface.
Important:
• Ensure that you protect your riflescope from
shocks (due to impacts other than recoil).
• Do not exert excessive pressure, even when wiping very dirty lens surfaces. Although the coating
is highly abrasion-resistant, it can still be damaged
by sand or salt crystals.
• The housing should be cleaned only using a damp
chamois or cloth. There is a risk of static building
up if dry cloths are used.
• Alcohol and other chemical solutions must not be
used to clean the lens or the housing.
• Every Leica ER riflescope has a unique serial number in addition to its model name. Keep a record
of this number in case you need it.
• Do not try to dismantle your scope. Doing so may
void your warranty. Repairs should only be carried
out by authorized workshops.
• To prevent mold forming, particularly in moist
climates, store your riflescope in a well-ventilated,
dry, cool place.
• Always practice safe firearms handling
procedures.
