On this week’s #SundayGunday, we’re taking a look at the Leupold Mark 4HD, a precision riflescope that hits the sweet spot for hunters across the nation. Taking its name, of course, from its 4X zoom ratio, the Mark 4HD comes in a variety of zoom ranges, from a 1-4.5x24mm LPVO, all the way up to an 8-32x56mm designed for touching distant game. Intermediate models are a 2.5-10x42mm, a 4.5-18x52mm and a 6-24x52mm.

All are equipped with an optical system designed for crystal clear resolution from dawn to dusk, with excellent light transmission and glare reduction. To keep that picture clear, no matter the weather conditions, the entire unit is waterproof, fogproof and shockproof, thanks to advanced glass and sealing methods. Select models are available with a precision side focus, which allows the shooter to adjust parallax to clarify the image at different distances from 25 yards out to infinity.

Models from the 4.5-18x42mm and up are built around a 34mm maintube, while the lower magnification models utilize a 30mm. Reticles are available in either the first or second plane, depending on the shooter’s preference, while both reticles and adjustments can be had in MIL or MOA. MIL models are equipped with M5C3 Zerolock turrets, for 1/10 MIL click adjustments, and up to 30 MILs of elevation in three rotations. MOA models utilize M1C3 Zerolock turrets, for ¼-click adjustments and up to 71.5 MOA of adjustment in three revolutions.

Windage turrets are either Zerolock or capped, depending on model. Some models even boast an illuminated reticle, with Motion Sensor Technology to save battery. This feature deactivates illumination after five minutes of inactivity, and springs it back on the moment movement is detected. These models also utilize an electronic reticle level, which flashes when the scope is off kilter, to ensure precise aiming on long shots.

For more information on the Leupold Mark 4HD, which retails for between $999.99 and $1,599.99, visit leupold.com. And for more #SundayGunday, check out our playlist on YouTube, where all previous episodes are archived.
