In exciting news, Leupold’s Mark4HD riflescope range has scored a Shooting Illustrated Golden Bullseye Award for ‘Optic of the Year’ 2025. This prestigious accolade further cements Leupold’s reputation for consistently excellent performance, value and quality in their shooting products and accessories.
Judges praised the Mark 4HD scopes for their exceptional all-round performance and impressive durability – key features for serious deerstalkers. Priced affordably between £999 and £1499, Leupold Mark4 HD scopes still offer many of the features of the premium Mark 5HD range, making them a clear winner for their uncompromised value.
Let’s take a look at the winning features of Leupold’s fantastic mid-range tactical riflescopes:
Performance and Design
Leupold Mark 4HD riflescopes offer peerless clarity and versatility with their HD glass, making them suitable for many different shooting applications.
Alongside locking return-to-zero elevation turrets, electronic reticle levels allow for faster, more precise aiming. The range also offers illuminated and non-illuminated plus first or second-plane reticle options.
Ultra-reliable with quick, user-friendly adjustment functionality, Mark 4HD riflescopes provide 4:1 zoom ratio across the range, with a choice of five magnification options (1-4.5X, 2.5-10X, 4.5-18X, 6-24X and 8-32X). As a result, they deliver beautifully smooth performance for shooting at close quarters or over more challenging distances.
Plus, motion sensor on/off technology helps preserve battery life by only activating when needed – essential for longer stalks.
Affordability and Value
With their more accessible price point, Leupold Mark 4HD scopes still aren’t cheap, but they put many of the outstanding elements of the flagship Mark 5HF range within reach of more shooters.
The Mark 4 line doesn’t compromise on durability – these super-solid rifle scopes are constructed from Titanium Grade 5 and Grade 9, making them rugged enough for use in demanding conditions. They’re also relatively lightweight at 3.9oz. Of course, Leupold’s signature extended warranty adds to their appeal and overall value.
As Shooting Illustrated’s Executive Editor Jay Grazio said in his review, “What’s the bottom line on the Mark 4HD riflescope? Plain and simple, it just works. Whether dialing or using holdovers, the 6-24X scope we had… provided a sharp picture of the targets and made hits at distance easy.”
