YOUR LEUPOLD MARK 4 CQ/T 1-3X14MM PACKAGE CONTAINS THE FOLLOWING ITEMS: • 1 Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope • 1 AA battery • 1 carry handle mounting stud with hex nut • 1 flip-up ocular lens cover • 1 battery tube • 1 flip-up objective lens cover • 1 battery tube cap • 1 flat-top mounting bracket Installing the Battery PREPARING THE BATTERY PACK 1. Insert the AA battery positive (+) end first into the battery tube. 2.
3 2. Firmly press the battery pack all the way into the chamber until it will not go any further and the battery cap lip is in line with the adjacent battery pack seating notch in the scope’s maintube. 3. Rotate the battery pack by the battery cap until the battery cap lip seats in the battery pack seating notch and will turn no further. Mounting the Scope FLAT-TOP MOUNTING PROCEDURE Preparing the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope for flat-top (MIL-STD-1913) mounting: 1.
3. Remove the scope from the rail and attach the flat-top mounting bracket to the mounting foot of the scope so that the hex nuts are on the same side of the scope as the windage dial, the longer points of the mounting bracket rails engage the mounting grooves on each side of the mounting foot, and the cross bolts are seated between the cross braces. (The mount rails can be mounted with the hex nuts on the opposite side but the suggested configuration avoids snagging of clothing during operation.) 4.
5 CARRY HANDLE MOUNTING PROCEDURE Preparing the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope for carry handle mounting: 1. Insert the carry handle mounting stud into the center hole in the scope mounting foot and make it snug using only your fingers. This stud will be securely tightened when the stud nut is tightened. Mounting the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope on a carry handle: 1.
Preparing the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T Scope for Use FOCUSING THE RETICLE With the scope held an appropriate distance from your eye to achieve a full sight picture, the reticle should appear sharp and crisp; if it does not, it is necessary to adjust the focus by means of the eyepiece. 1. Grasp the eyepiece with one hand and back the diopter adjustment lockring away from it by twisting the lockring counterclockwise with the other hand.
7 4. When you are satisfied with the image of the reticle, turn the lockring clockwise so that it rests firmly against the eyepiece. 5. Grasping the eyepiece firmly with one hand and the lockring and diopter adjustment ring with the other, give them both one final clockwise turn to secure the lockring firmly in place. If your eyesight changes, readjust the diopter adjustment ring.
2. Turn the eyepiece clockwise until it stops and the thumb or index finger rests against the lower right side of the scope. That position is 3x magnification. 3. Turn the eyepiece counter-clockwise until it stops and the thumb or index finger rests just behind the illumination control dial of the scope. That position is 1x magnification.
9 one specific setting, illumination settings can be made without the necessity of looking at the scope. The OFF setting, indicated by a ray that is raised above all the others, can be located tactilely. As the illumination control dial setting indicator is directly in front of the power selector, the proximity of this OFF setting to the power selector or its position away from it in a clockwise orientation tactilely indicates the intensity setting of the reticle.
but thin enough so as not to obliterate an 18-inch object at 500 yards when set on 3x. Zeroing the Scope BORESIGHTING To save time and ammunition, the use of a boresighting collimator to “get on the paper” is recommended. Remember that adjustments made during boresighting will appear to move in the opposite direction than that indicated by the adjustment dial. As the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope is sometimes mounted atop a carry handle, boresighting using a collimator is not always possible.
11 the reticle move left in relation to the target. Also note that the knurl on the top edge of the cap can be used as an adjustment tool. 4. Now turn the elevation adjustment dial until the center of the scope’s reticle aligns with the center point of the boresighting grid. Note that the elevation adjustment needs to be turned in the “D” (down) direction to make the reticle move up in relation to the target. 5. Remove the collimator from the barrel.
7. Hold the rifle steady. With the bull’s-eye centered when viewed through the bore, make windage and elevation adjustments to the scope until the very center of the reticle is aligned with the bull’s-eye of the target. LIVE FIRE ZEROING USING THREE-SHOT GROUPS Regardless of which boresighting method was used, the next steps are the same on the firing range. To ensure reliable results, always fire from a rested position when performing these steps. 1. Fire a shot or two. 2.
13 Both the windage and elevation adjustment dials have a pointer dial atop the increment dial that moves with the slotted adjustment screw. This dial also can be moved independently to align with the zero on the outermost dial. To reposition this dial, simply rotate it using a small flat bladed screw driver, knife blade, or other tool until the pointer is aligned with the zero position of the increment dial.
and eyepiece adjustment ring of the scope after all mounting and initial adjustment procedures have been completed. As the eyepiece of the Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x14mm scope rotates when magnification adjustment is made, the ocular lens cover should be seated with the magnification set at 1x and the open ocular cover lid at the 11 o’clock position. This will prevent the opened cover from getting in the way when the magnification level is increased to 3x.
15 (It's worth noting that, unlike competitive brands, Leupold scopes are waterproof even without the caps in place.) EYEPIECE This adjustment is permanently lubricated. There is no need to lubricate it. The eyepiece can be rotated as far as it will go in either direction. It will not detach from the scope because of an internal lock ring. SEALS Leupold scopes are sealed from within by several methods. All seals are permanent and require no maintenance.
Troubleshooting Before you ship a scope back to the factory for service or repair, please check the following items to make sure that the problem is really with the scope, and not the rifle or mount system. 1. Check the mount. Make sure the scope is mounted securely to the rifle. Try, with bare hands only, to twist the scope or see if anything moves when you jiggle it. If there is any movement, retighten the mounting system according to mounting instructions. 2.
17 Leupold Product Service If your Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T scope fails to perform in any way, you may return it directly to the factory for service. It is not necessary for your dealer to ship the scope to Leupold; however, they can be very helpful in determining if factory service is necessary. Please follow these shipping instructions: 1. Remove any accessories from the scope. 2. Record the serial number of the scope and keep it for your records. 3.
