Built for Battle: Leupold Tactical Optics

July 11, 2011

(GunReports.com) — Leupold’s intense focus on product development has culminated in a new generation of tactical riflescopes that cover the entire spectrum of optics requirements.

In 2011, the Leupold Tactical Optics Division has launched innovative riflescopes including the Mark 4 6.5-20x50mm Extended Range/Tactical (ER/T) M5 Auto-Locking Adjustment model, the Mark 8 1.1-8x24mm CQBSS and the Mark 4 High Accuracy Multi-Range (HAMR).

The U.S. Army has chosen the ER/T M5 Auto-Locking Adjustment riflescope as the primary day optic for its newest sniper rifle, the XM2010.

In addition, Leupold recently contracted with the United States Marine Corps (USMC) to supply the CQBSS for use with M2 heavy machine guns and MK19 grenade machine guns. The Marine Corps sight will carry the M521 designation.

Kevin Trepa, vice president of Leupold’s Tactical Division, said, “Our next-generation riflescopes are the result of a concentrated product development program with the military over the past couple years, and we will continue our hard work to meet the requirements of our war fighters and civilian shooters alike.”

The ER/T Auto-Locking Adjustment riflescope is specially designed and built with the military sniper in mind. It has an auto-locking elevation adjustment.

This feature ensures that reticle adjustment is maintained during rough going and stressful conditions.

Reticle options include the Horus H27 and H58, as well as Leupold’s Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR).

Versatile enough for close quarters battle as well as distances out to several hundred meters, the CQBSS is available with the new Horus H27D reticle or Leupold’s Military-Tactical Milling Reticle (M-TMR).

The M-TMR is designed to allow successful range estimation and target engagement with more flexibility than generally possible with other reticle styles.

Built for precise mid-range marksmanship and fast target acquisition, the HAMR features an illuminated CM-R2 reticle. Leupold’s DeltaPoint reflex sight, utilizing either a 7.5-MOA Delta reticle or 3.5-MOA Dot reticle, can be attached to the HAMR, providing instant target acquisition capability at close quarters. (DeltaPoint and HAMR are available as a package.)

Other recent developments in the Leupold Tactical line include the Mark 4 Close Quarters/Tactical (CQ/T) riflescope, which is now offered with the CM-R2 reticle; the Mark 4 20-60x80mm Tactical Spotting Scope available with the Mil Dot or TMR reticle; and the Mark 4 12-40x60mm Tactical Spotting Scope with the Horus H32 (standard or inverted) or H36 reticle (standard or inverted).
