Many companies try to copy this optic and just don't come close. The TMR reticle is shared between my preferred rifle scope and also this spotter for good reason, they just work. Not too busy, and well thought out.

This thing is awesome, I've gave it for a couple of months and it is very versatile. The only critique I have about it is that I would like for the reticle stretch across the entire glass. That aside, I cannot emphasize enough how important it is for a spotting scope to have a reticle, and that it had a built in arca amount . This one does it and does it well without all the bulk.

Excellent scope for the money, reticle and glass are fine uniform and accurate, glass is clear. Mechanics are solid and the scope feels very rugged, I use it for 100 to 1100yd spotting.

Excellent clarity and having a first focal plane reticle sets this scope way above anything else. It's a game changer for any long range shooting.

I bought this scope to compliment my Mark 5HD rifle scope. Both have the TMR reticle, and they work very well together. Whether doing long range shooting alone or with a spotter, the products compliment each other. As with other Leupold products, the quality and workmanship are excellent. I also really appreciate the light weight of this scope, which makes it much easier to transport and set up.

Great spotting scope!

I purchased the inverted version. Very clear glass, easy to adjust turrets. The hardest thing so far is putting on the cover that comes with it. Reticle makes it easy to range targets and has a great field of view even while zoomed in. #sweepstakes

For Size, Clarity and Price You Can't Beat It

It is a well built and well designed spotting scope. It's clarity and compact size is the reason that I chose this scope. The TMR reticle is a great addition. My only complaint is that I believe that Gold Ring HD model of this scope design has clearer optics. Which had I known I would have chosen over the TMR reticle.

Every shooter needs one. I would absolutely buy again.

I use the spotting scope for extremely long range shooting. I absolutely love it!!! Amazingly clear. The holdover reticle is precise. There's nothing not to love about the optic.

Great product

This spotter is great because of its lightweight compact design. 40x power magnification is plenty with a large field of view and crystal clear glass. No sure why it does not come with lense caps. The soft case is ok

Great spotting scope.

I use this to spot shots of students I teach and coach for long distance shooting. I chose this spotting scope as I used it as a police sniper before retiring and know it would perform well from when I used it as a sniper at training and critical incidents. It came with a great cover, my only change would be offering a multi cam cover option for those not wanting the flashy black silver and gold option.

Fantastic Quality! Leupold is on all my rifles.

Took to the gun range for long range shots in sighting in muzzleloader. Absolutely amazing image quality. I could see flies on the 200 yard range board. One of the old timers looked at the target and the next thing he was showing it to all the other old timers at the range. I had a hard time getting back from them. I have tried to go with other brands and just can't leave the Leupold quality. The Leupold VIP program for veterans is hands down the best discount out there. This 30 year Navy Veteran salutes you, Leupold. You are on all my rifles!

Amazing!

I've wanted a spotter with an MOA reticle for a long time. The glass is superb, far outstripping my previous spotter. And Holy eye relief!! I wasn't sure I would like the straight as opposed to angle but this scope works fantastic. Great glass, great eye relief, lightweight. Not much more to ask for. I'm taking it on an elk hunt in Wyoming this weekend and I'm super excited about it.

Mark 4 12-40x60mm with TMR reticle

Just recieved this spotting scope. Decided on this over the Gold Ring because of the reticle options. Man this thing is stout! Love it glad I decided to go with this because it seems indestructable. Glass is great.
