The New Leupold Mark 4HD?

[TxLite]

That’s what I see.

Gonna have to throw it on the ground a few more times to confirm

On a serious note I appreciate you dropping your equipment and posting the results

It looks like it was at 200 yds. If you look at the center of the first group vs the center of the second group, they are pretty close and could all be within 1.5 MOA.

Looks like it had a slight shift up?

Hard to say. Can't see that the baseline accuracy was set, technically the dropped group would be in the same cone as the pre-drop group it looks like to me.

Yea 1st group sucked, and the wind didn’t start till group 2.

This scope has potential to “break the internet” if it passes a few drop tests. I believe a company like Leupold would get unbelievable support from Rokslide if it met the standards. I am patiently awaiting everyone’s results. Thanks to everyone for ruining expensive shit for the benefit of mankind! Hopeful

I agree. They have the ability to scale up quickly and meet demand compared to other companies. If They committed to a durable repeatable scope with the reticles hunters want they would own the market within 24 months or less.

I hope this one works, but as an old gambler told me, if red comes up 3 times in a row you either bet red or walk away.
If it passes I will buy one or two. Nothing looks better on a pre 64 M70 or a Ruger #1 than a Leupold.
As to them owning the market, for a lot of hunters they pretty much do. They have the ability to make scopes that work right now. It is not like sending people to Mars- other companies have it figured out. They choose not to, because they sell a boat load of scopes, and get few returns for zero retention issues. If they were going to design a scope that worked, they would have to admit ALL their other scopes don't work.

Any news on new reticles coming out this summer? I was waiting to buy for this reason but might just go with the TMR

Mine is doing great. It has been to 3 NRL events, covered a few thousand road miles and countless range trips. Recently my rifle was shipped back to the manufacturer with the scope attached. When I got it back it was still zeroed just like i left it. I took it out today without changing a thing and I won second overall at the Hunters Challenge.

Looking forward to drop tests on these.. that 2.5-10 looks pretty nice.

Not necessarily. Maven hasn't admitted that. In fact they doubled down and said they are all built to the same durability standards. It hasn't hurt them at all.

I may be completely off base, but the delay on this makes me wonder if it was tested, failed, and leupold doesn’t want the results posted…

Definitely not the case. The scope evaluations take awhile.

True, if it is passing

I don't think Leupold would have any say in posting the results.

fair enough. I’m likely completely off base. I sent a scope in and it was evaluated fairly quickly, but it failed. After @Timberline001 s comment I remembered form telling me if a scope is passing then it will be awhile before results are posted

Inventing a story out of nothing is never accurate. Be patient, i'm sure it will be posted when ready. Saying Leupold has control over these tests is way off base. To date they have zero current models that work at all, according to the tests. And the testors have gone above and beyond to show all tests are as objective ( no pun intended) as possible.

It was speculation. I will be patient. Apologies
