Rifle Scopes Leupold Mark 4HD

[ChrisAU]

2.5-10x42 FFP 30mm tube has me thinking I'm going to have to try one out...

Mark 4HD Riflescopes | Leupold

We’ve been making world-class optics that bear our family name for over 100 years. We honor that legacy every day as we design, machine and assemble…

Definitely curious & could be tempted to try one too on a gas gun

 

[RKBArmory]

That does sound nice! 21 ounces, too.

 

[ChrisAU]

Just saw the illum can be set to motion activated too. Been wondering why that hadn't made it to rifle scopes yet. Really nice for hunting.

 

[Bravo6niner]

PR3 reticle ??

 

[JakeM]

Damn that’s nice, as long as they track and hold zero

 

[OSU Fisher]

No pr1 moa in the 6-24. Damnit. I was… super excited

 

[Rio Precision Gunworks]

PR3 reticle ??

PR2 without tree. Where the PR1 wasn't a mirror image of the PR2.

Is it the same glass as the Mark 5?

Hard to say. Will have to ask.

Substantially cheaper than mk5. The 8-32 is showing $1599. Not sure if the savings are in glass, tube size, or just efficiencies in manufacturing.

Also has electronic level, though I haven't seen a pic or video yet.

 

[BruceLeroy]

They are showing a SFP 2.5-10. This m,ay help with that thin reticle. I really like this direction. The best part is there is no duplex reticle in the entire line...lol

 

[Maurygold]

As if Illum wasn’t already a stupidly priced option.

 

[RedDirtRifleman]

On paper the 2.5-10 specs look very nice. Weighs as much as my Viper HS-LR does in a cantilever mount, with an appropriate amount of added features.

 

[redneckbmxer24]

FFP is practically pointless in a 2.5-10 optic. Combine that with the shitty TMR reticle and no parallax, hard no for me.

The NXS has parallax, the Mil-R reticle is mildly better, has illumination standard, has a similar form factor, and even weighs a hair less.

There are SFP options that have parallax adjustment as well.

I see no 2.5-10’s on Leupolds side with parallax adjustment. The only SFP listed one when you go into the specs lists a 150 yard fixed parallax. If you’re going of those stock photos it’s clearly a different optic.

Not going off of stock photos. I know those are not always, or even usually, correct. I went to the product features tab and it states it has parallax adjustment. I hope they do. Huge mistake if not, even on a 2.5-10. I, for one, am to old to not have it.

Go to the specs and it doesn't think you were looking at the general features.

That’s just a standard description for the entire line, it says the same thing under the 1-4’s too.

Some teaser pics I just snapped off since we love you fools... (Damn iphone pics are too big and need to be resized to upload) - Richard

It’s 1 mark less.

Does the windage knob have a limiter?

 

[CSTactical]

Does the windage knob have a limiter?

Zero stop, or the locking button?

 

[CSTactical]

 

[nickw]

Optically it is an improvement with the 4x erector, we have some samples here and these will sell like crazy at the weight and price point

Do you have any idea when they will start shipping?

 

[redneckbmxer24]

No just a limiter so you can’t go more than like a half turn without having the reset the turret.

I'll ask Dan when he gets here

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Awesome. That would be lame if you could get off by more than a turn since that style turret isn’t going to protrude and give witness lines for revolution.

 

[BigScoot45]

I’m very interested to see how the 4.5-18 stacks up against the 3.6-18. PR2 addition has me very intrigued…

 

[rlsmith1]

Someone at Leupold is starting to listen... The higher mag range scopes are 34mm which is interesting. Here's to them putting a tree reticle in the MK5 2-10!

 

[Membdub]

No just a limiter so you can’t go more than like a half turn without having the reset the turret.

It has a zero stop just like the elevation turret and it is limited so you can't turn the dial 360 degrees

 

[CSTactical]

Optically you will prefer the longer MK4 with a 4X erector since the MK5 3.6-18 was made more as a DMR style scope with its shorter footprint.

 

[redneckbmxer24]

Beautiful.

 

[Punkur67]

Looks like this may be my new hunting scope.

 

[Megalodong]

I'm interested in this scope as a whole, but especially this.

Any of you insider guys know how this works/looks?

More information will be released soon, You'll have all the details before they start shipping

It works just like the VX6 Line. When the level feature is turned on the reticle will flash when you are out of cant by 1 degree

It's already out in some of Leupold's scopes. It seems to work as advertised. The first time I encountered it, about a month ago, I thought the battery was about to die, because the illumination kept blinking. But, once the scope is level, it quits blinking. You can turn this off, if you want.

This VX-6HD 4-24x52 has this feature.

They are also now producing the Mk5 HD 2-10 in a SFP.
I have been playing with one from their optics lab since last summer. Very, very nice.

It’s 1 mark less.

The mark 5 is 1 better.

 

[Midpack]

So when I look at the specs on leupolds site or doesn't have abby illuminated options but it lists that they have the electronic level. Doesnt the electronic level use the illumination to indicate?

They definitely don't have their website 100% yet. They did correct the "2.5-10x24" though so apparently they're working on it.

 

[st1650]

Leupold finally starting to listen .. looks great

What else are they changing in the MK5 line? Any reticle updates in the 2-10? SFP is interesting

 

[gbaby125]

Any idea when these will be shipping?

FOV specs look great on the 1-4.5x

Glad to see they finally did away with the 1.5 on the low end.

It's also about time we started seeing some more teasers from the optics industry.

Leupold replied to comments on the IG post that it has the same glass as the mk5 line and cost savings are due to “streamlining the design of the mk5”.

 

[Terry Cross]

They are moving the stupid windage hash mark back down to where is should be in the first place.

We were trying to get them to re-design the illumination controls too. Even though most of them acknowledge our bitching is legit, that did not change (yet).

Yes, the level uses the illumination to indicate.
