Leupold Mark 4 ER/T 8.5-25x50mm Extended Range/Tactical M5 Front Focal Plane Reticle Rifle Scope in 0.1 Mil dot turrets. No ring marks. Was pretty much a safe queen and has less than 400 rounds of use. Looks about as close to new as a used product can. I do not have original box. Most people are aware that Leupold honors lifetime unconditional warranty whether you are the original purchaser or not.

Includes Leupold caps for both objective and eye piece.

Original MSRP on this was $2195 (but in its last retail days was dropped to as low as $1699) plus rings.

Asking $1295 OBO $1000
(note: This is the ER/T, not the LR/T which is a much cheaper version. There is a significant price and performance difference)

Leupold Mark 4 Scopes - ER/T vs. LR/T​

The Leupold Mark 4 series of riflescopes includes a number of high end tactical scopes; however, the ER/T (Extended Range Tactical) and LR/T (Long Range Tactical), as their names imply, are the models designed for long range shooting. While there are many similarities between the ER/T and LR/T versions there are also some important differences.

Leupold Mark 4 Rifle Scope


Similarities
30mm Tubes

These long range Mark 4 scopes, like many tactical scopes, are built on a 30mm main tube which provides more field of view and/or more adjustment range than 1” tubes. However, there is one model, an ER/T 6.5-20x50mm model that is built on a 34mm main tube. Side Note - This scope with the Horus H-58 reticle is the one being issued on the new Army XM2010 .300 Winchester Magnum sniper rifle.

Turrets
The LR/T and ER/T scopes are both available with a variety of different tactical turrets. Below is a brief description of each turret style and is an important aspect to consider when deciding on which scope model is best for you.

M1 - 1/4 MOA elevation, 1/4 MOA wind - Tall Turrets
M2 - 1/2 MOA elevation, 1/2 MOA wind - Medium or Short Turrets
M3 - 1 MOA elevation, 1/2 MOA wind – Medium Turrets
M5 - .1 Mil elevation, .1 Mil wind – Tall Turrets

Side Focus and Matte Finish
Both ER/T and LR/T modes utilize a side focus parallax correction knob on the left side of the scope when viewed from behind. Parallax adjustment on scopes of these types is a must and the nine o’clock position is generally greatly preferred over the adjustable objective style of parallax correction. Nearly all ER/T and LR/T scopes come with a matte black finish with the LR/T 3.5-10x40mm LR/T with M2 turret in a Dark Earth coloring being the only exception we could find.

Differences
Focal Plane

One of the biggest differences between the ER/T and LR/T models is where the reticle is placed. All ER/T models have a First Focal Plane reticle meaning that the reticle will stay in proportion to the target no matter what magnification the scope is one. Only some versions of the LR/T 3.5-10x40mm versions are available with a First Focal Plane while the remainder of models in the LR/T line all have their reticle in the Second Focal Plane.

Illumination
Many of the LR/T scope models are available with partial illumination, meaning that while the entire reticle is not lit; the center part near where the crosshairs intersect is illuminated. No illuminated reticle options are available on the ER/T models.

Reticles
While some LR/T models are available with illumination, it is the ER/T scopes that feature more reticle choices. More specifically some of the long range Horus reticles are available on several ER/T models. Essentially these reticles provide a grid of holdover points in the lower part of the reticle. These reticles are not available on any of the LR/T scopes.

Magnifications and Objectives
Both the ER/T and LR/T are available in 4.5-14x50, 6.5-20x50 and 8.5-25x50; however the LR/T series is also has 3.5-10x40, and 4.5-14x40mm versions along with two fixed powered options: including two 10x40 models, and one 16x40 model. Note, that all ER/T scope models come with 50mm objectives.

Choosing a Model
With so many options and versions available selecting the one of these scopes can be a bit of a process. We have put together a guide of models, specifications, and model numbers to help you choose the model that best meets your requirements. Below are a few factors to keep in mind when selecting your Mark 4.

1) All ER/T models and some 3.5-10x40 LR/T models feature First Focal Plane Reticles.

2) Illumination is available only on some LR/T models and is not available on ER/T scopes.

3) The TMR (Tactical Milling Reticle) essentially has small hash marks at .5 mils, and large hash marks at 1 mils.
