Leupold Mark 4 16x fixed

[Grantimoto]

Hey everyone, I got a random scope in a trade today (came with a rifle). It's a Leupold Mark 4, M1-16x fixed. I was going to just set it down somewhere next to my nightforce but on a quick google search apparently they're pretty good scopes. Anyone know more about these or their value? Thanks

Depends on the condition, reticle, if it was altered by premier reticle.

These are good scopes.

Generally between $700-$850. Maybe $1000 if condition is excellent and it’s a mildot.

SEALs ran them on a few guns back when....

No idea what its worth. They have a fuck ton of built in internal travel compared to a regular Mk4.

That's a lot more than I thought, it's a mildot. What other reticles did they come in?

Duplex. You can still find new, old stock duplex out there. They sit in the shelf for $1000 but sell for $700-$800 in my area (TN/KY). Mildot used should go about the same. I’d expect around $800-$850 depending on condition and how long you’re willing to wait for a buyer. Original 700/300 builders need this scope and a lot of 50 cal shooters liked the Ultra. 140 MOA internal elevation!

If it was modified by Premier Reticle, you’ll probably have to practically give it away. They did excellent work when Dick was working these scopes but unless something changed, Leupold will not warranty them anymore.

So the Mk4 was known for massive elevation adjustment? From what I can tell it has the standard mildot reticle

Yes. 140 MOA. It’s been years but if I recall correctly the Scope is to be used with a flat base.
