His scope fogged up and he is reported to have exclaimed "Hell! I could build a better scope than this!" as the deer bounded off. [3] [4] In 1962, Leupold invented the Duplex Reticle, which most riflescopes now use. [6] By 1979, Leupold scopes were generating twice the total revenue of Stevens instruments. [3] [7]
A telescopic sight, commonly called a scope informally, is an optical sighting device based on a refracting telescope. [1] It is equipped with some form of a referencing pattern – known as a reticle – mounted in a focally appropriate position in its optical system to provide an accurate point of aim.
The M24 originally came tapped for the Leupold Ultra M3A 10×42mm fixed-power scope, which came with a circle-shaped mil-dot glass-etched reticle. This was later replaced in 1998 by the Leupold Mk 4 LR/T M1 10×40mm fixed-power scope with an elongated-shaped mil-dot wire reticle. [5]
A Leupold telescopic sight mounted on a dovetailed rifle receiver via two scope rings From left: A sketch of a cross section on a Zeiss rail and ring mount, both with a Picatinny rail interface. Scope mounts are rigid implements used to attach (typically) a telescopic sight or other types of optical sights onto a firearm.
Fitted with a Leupold Mark 4 6.5–20×50mm ER/T M5A2 Front Focal variable power telescopic sight featuring a 34 mm tube diameter, first focal plane Horus Vision H-58 grid system range estimation reticle and Bullet Drop Compensation, [18] [19] fielded with the AN/PVS-29 or AN/PVS-30 Clip-on Sniper Night Sight.
Etched "FinnDot" reticle (a regular mil-dot reticle with the addition of 400 m – 1200 m holdover (stadiametric) rangefinding brackets for 1 meter high or 0.5 meter wide targets at 400, 600, 800, 1000 and 1200 m). Reticle illumination is provided by a tritium ampoule embedded in the elevation turret.
While MOA sights have traditionally been popular in the U.S., scope sights with mrad adjustments and reticles are now also becoming increasingly popular in the U.S. [14] The most common reticles used today in red dot sights both for handguns and rifles are small dots covering between 0.6 and 1.6 mrad (2 to 5 MOA).
Due to the relative modularity of the system, optics (as well as almost everything else) can be mounted according to the operator's wishes. However, SPRs are most often seen with a 3.5–10×40 mm Leupold LR M3 (SPR/A), a 2.5–8×36 mm TS-30 (SPR/B), or a 3–9×36 mm TS-30 A2 (Mk 12 MOD 0/1) Mid Range/Tactical Illuminated Reticle Dayscope.
