Born from the requirements of military sharpshooters, the Mark 4 series has evolved alongside modern warfare tactics. With feedback from military professionals, Leupold has ensured the Mark 4 remains a top choice for precision shooting. This M5 turret is an evolution from the early sniper scopes, which had a milRAD reticle and MOA turrets. That is a skill! The M5 matches Mil with Mil, so a modern design to an old favorite.

Military Use and Clone Building

Trusted in military operations, the Mark 4's reliability is well-known among snipers. Outside of military contexts, it's a favorite for clone rifle enthusiasts, complementing rifles like the Mk12, Mk11, M110, and SR-25, as well as the newer M2010 rifles with Leupold scopes.

For those who just want a basic, high quality mid-magnification scope, the Mark 4 in 4.5-14x magnification, that is a very popular range. Most shooter are not hitting out to 1,300 yards every time at the range, and 4.5-14 covers a lot of mid-level distance from 200 to 900 yards quite nicely, and with great quality of Leupold and the dependability of the Mark 4, at a price tag much less than some of the more modern scopes with higher zoom factors than 3x, which tend to drive cost very quickly. In the military, there is a saying that nobody ever got fired for choosing a Mark 4.

The TMR reticle is a very friendly reticle for former military snipers, it is an evolution of the mil-dot, and will be very familiar. But, to the non career sniper, the TMR is much easier to understand than the mil-dot, while being clean and providing some range finding features. The TMR has been a staple on Leupold Mark 4, Mark 5 HD, Mark 6, and Mark 8 scopes for today, and dating back two decades.
