Leupold's Tactical Optics Division announces the addition of Horus reticle options for the Mark 4 12-40x60mm Tactical Spotting Scope.


Horus H32 and H36 reticles join the Leupold Mil Dot reticle as options. The H32 has a mil line for target measurement and speed estimation, while the H36 features an inverted "L" in Inch Of Angle (IOA) for easy ranging. The Mil Dot reticle matches those found in Leupold Mark 4 riflescopes, allowing a spotter to quickly range a target, view the same sight picture as the shooter and convey necessary adjustments.

The shooter's corrections for wind, target motion and distance are easily made. The shooter can remain "on target" and make all corrections using the reticle, without looking up and turning knobs. If a second shot is needed, the shooter's eye is still on the target and the correction, as simple as placing the target on a different mark on the grid, is as quick as a trigger finger.

"Our Mark 4 Tactical Spotting Scope provides additional flexibility and capability, making the users that much more effective," said Kevin Trepa, Leupold's vice president of tactical sales and marketing. "This spotter is superior in terms of clarity, brightness and contrast. With the Horus and Mil Dot reticles, it becomes an even more powerful tool, giving spotters and shooters a common frame of reference and measurement, so communication is efficient and effective. It's an excellent spotter for observation and other uses such as gathering hard data, ranging targets, estimating target speeds and second-shot correction."

Other key features of the Mark 4 Tactical Spotting Scope include exceptional ruggedness, light weight (37 ounces), a 100 percent waterproof body and premium optics. The extremely durable armored magnesium body allows for this variable-power spotter to replace the fixed 20X M49 spotting scope that was used by the Marines since World War II.

Multicoat 4 lenses coupled with a light absorbing interior finish suppress glare and provide an extraordinarily crisp and bright image. Leupold's efficient Folded Light Path (FLP) lens and mirror optical system allow the Mark 4 to deliver the effective optical path of a scope twice its length.

Even at the highest magnification, the Mark 4 offers an expansive field of view, allowing for easy tracking and locating of targets. The generous, long eye relief and rubber fold-down eyecups make the Mark 4 spotter comfortable to use for the prolonged period often experienced by the Marine scout sniper. Leupold's nitrogen charging system and sealing technology ensure absolute waterproof performance.


Leupold has offered precision optics for tactical applications since the 1985 introduction of Ultra riflescopes, which were designed to excel under the most extreme battlefield conditions. Today, more long-range Leupold Tactical Optics are in service with the U.S. military than any other brand.
