Leupold is including a small piece of pink paper in the box of their 2.5x28 Scout scopes that reads: Use care in mounting this riflescope. It is necessary to place the back edge of the rearmost ring at least 3/4" forward of the ocular bell/tube juncture to avoid reticle damage. |

The problem must somehow be related to their extended eye relief scopes. |

somehow the tension of the mount is crushing the interior glass. the 2x leo of mine looked like the inside of a kaldioscope sometime around 1500 rds in a RR 454. with serious loads.

Wow, bet before they started issuing that warning a lot of people put that area right under the rear ring. That will keep their repair department busy no doubt. Wonder if signiture zee rings saved any ?
