Rifle Scopes Leupold Mk 4 scopes

[kansas]

Can anyone tell me what the difference is between the Mk4 LR/T and the ER/T models are? It appears to me that the LR/Ts are sfp and the ER/Ts are ffp. Is there any difference in the quality of the lens or or tracking ability?
I looked through several ER/Ts yesterday and was pleased with what I saw however am able to buy an ER/T in my price range and didn't know how much different they are in quality.
Also are all Mk4s wire reticle?
Thanks.

When I called Leupold the tech guys said they had exactly the same glass and coating but I did not ask the other questions.

Leupold does not use a wire mildot reticle anymore, the football shaped wire mildot was done for them by Premier, when they cut ties they lost the capability.

The ER/Ts are the same glass as the LR/Ts, and not all are FFP, Leupold makes several FFP however if it is not listed in the specifications then it is not FFP, this excludes the fixed 10X scopes.

That is it FFP ER/T and SFP LR/T.

Re: Leupold Mk 4 scopes

Was it always that way. I seem to recall that er/t used to be a mix of ffp / sfp?

I could just be wrong though. I ask in case the OP goes to an online retailer that might have some old stock etc...

I beleave the 3.5-10 is a LR/T and can be had in FFP. I think the 4.5-14 and above are ER/T in FFP.
I have never made sense out of Leupold's designation of LR/T v. ER/T.

ER/T are all FFP
LR/T can be either FFP or SFP depending on the model

Re: Leupold Mk 4 scopes

The LRT's are Long Range and ERT's are Extended Range. Not sure what exactly that means so take it for what it's worth. There was a recent thread on Mark 4's with everyone's opinion and dislikes, you ought to check it out.
