When it comes to precision optics, few names carry the weight of Leupold’s Mark series. The new Mark 4 HD 4.5-18×52 represents a fascinating evolution in this storied line, bringing together decades of military heritage with modern optical engineering. As someone who’s spent countless hours behind various iterations of Leupold scopes, I was particularly intrigued to see how this model would perform in both controlled conditions and real-world applications.
Heritage and Construction
The Mark 4 HD immediately shows its military DNA through its robust 34mm main tube construction.
