The Leupold Mark 4 12-40x60mm spotting scope delivers precision optics for long-range observation and target verification. This straight-body configuration features an inverted H-32 reticle system designed for tactical applications and precision shooting scenarios. The carbon fiber and magnesium construction provides exceptional durability while maintaining a lightweight profile for extended field use.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 4 series incorporates Leupold's Index Matched Lens System and Xtended Twilight Lens System for superior light transmission and edge-to-edge clarity. The 12-40x magnification range offers versatility from wide-area scanning to detailed target analysis at extended distances. Carbon fiber construction reduces weight by 30% compared to traditional aluminum housings while maintaining structural integrity under field conditions.
Key Features
- 12-40x variable magnification with 60mm objective lens for maximum light gathering
- Inverted H-32 reticle provides precise ranging and windage reference points
- Carbon fiber and magnesium body construction weighs 40% less than steel alternatives
- Straight-body design allows for compact tripod mounting and transport
- Index Matched Lens System eliminates internal light loss between lens elements
- Waterproof and fog-proof construction rated for extreme weather conditions
- Compatible with standard tripod mounting systems and spotting scope accessories
Field performance centers on optical clarity and mechanical reliability across temperature extremes. The 60mm objective lens gathers sufficient light for dawn and dusk observation sessions when game movement peaks. Precision shooters utilize the H-32 reticle for accurate range estimation and wind drift calculations at distances exceeding 1,000 yards. The lightweight construction reduces fatigue during extended observation periods without compromising optical performance.
