Is the glass the same in the Mark4HD as the Mark5HD? I'm not interested in the vague comment that "they're both professional grade". The Mark4 seems like it will greatly decrease sales in the Mark5 if it's the same scope in a lighter package. I understand there are slight differences, but the Mark4 seems to check just about every box for roughly half the price of the Mark5.

Yes, the quality of glass is the same between both models.

Yeah, but what he sneakily avoided saying was that the coatings were the same.... they aren't, and that's just as important, if not more important...

What's the difference between the legacy Mark 4 and the new Mark 4 HD? Many people that I know, including myself, prefer the legacy Mark 4. We are willing to pay more for a legacy Mark 4 than a new Mark 4 HD.

The new Mark 4HD will have the same optical quality but it will have improved features, e.g. Zero locking turret, Illumination, new reticle choices and a parallax adjustment that can focus down to 25yds. -DY

Legacy? As in Mk4 M1, M3, M3, M4 and M5???? There could not be more difference. We are talking 30 years of design difference. The legacy Mk4 were great, top level optics when they came out. Today, there’s $400 scopes out there with more options, features, reticle, and better glass. They only fall short on reliability. And even that point could be debatable. The M2’s were very spotty quality. The Mark 4HD is not even comparable to the legacy Mk4. Better turrets Locking turrets Zero stop More readily available FFP 10-15 mils per rev vs 5 Far better reticle options Far better optics. It’s like comparing a 1975 corvette to a 2025 corvette. Literally everything is better

@@nathanrw7971 A lot of people prefer a 1975 or earlier corvette over the 2025 corvette. I've seen VARI-X III tactical sold for $1000, legacy MK 4 sold for well over $1000 depending on models, mainly the M3 10x40. Several years ago, I bought a couple of Leupold one time run MK4 for $1200 and $1000. Say what you will, people just like the legacy models. Leupold should have revive the legacy line and do a comparison and see what sell the most, I dare to say legacy models sale would be higher.

@Sg16- got mine yesterday. I never comment very much about a product, but I am initially very impressed with mine. So far I have compared it side by side with my PST ii in 5-25, Razor LHT 4.5-22, Leupold VXR 3-9 and Razor Gen iii 1-10. The glass in the Mark4 is the best of the bunch, with a discernable difference between the Mark4 and the PST. They're not too far apart in price, but I suspect that will change very soon. The LHT is pretty good in comparison, and also priced similarly to the Mark4. I haven't tested low light conditions, so I can't comment there. I acquired mine as part of a warranty trade in, which is a testament to the warranty process with Leupold. It was hassle free and overall simple. No regrets whatsoever!

@SM-tg7yw I was asking because mine (4.5-18x52 with PR-2 reticle) came in the mail yesterday. I had an issue with my VX-5 and was able to swap (with cash on my end) to the new Mark4. Couldn't be happier with my decision. I'm making a prediction now- this thing will make major waves very soon. At the price, it absolutely can not be beat! I'd be worried about my Mark5 line if I were Leupold! In a separate comment I made on this video Leupold confirmed the glass is the same as the Mark5. Now that I have mine in hand, I believe it. If you get a chance to check one out I guarantee you'll love it!
