Close Quarter/

Tactical Scope

The Leupold® Mark 4® 1-3x14mm CQ/T® Scope

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of one of the finest

tactical riflescopes ever produced. We trust that you will receive years

of exemplary service from it.

The development of the Leupold® Mark 4® CQ/T® drew upon the

collective wisdom of not only Leupold’s finest product developers

and engineers, but that of various branches of U.S. law enforcement

and military agencies as well. The Mark 4 product group itself began

in the mid 1980s with the creation of the Leupold Ultra scope for

the M-24 sniper weapons system. The present CQ/T, or Close Quarter/

Leupold Mark 4 CQ/T

Tactical, scope had its genesis with the first Leupold Military and

Tactical Conference of 1995. It was determined that a small, variable

magnification scope was needed by the various U.S. military and law

enforcement agencies.

The scope you now have before you is the product of many years

of research, design, and development –– all performed with the

intention of creating the most reliable, versatile, and responsive

tool for both military and law enforcement personnel. We put our

complete faith in this scope as we know the importance of its uses.

Mounting the Scope

FLAT-TOP MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Preparing the Leupold Mark 4 1-3x14mm CQ/T scope for flat-top
(MIL-STD-1913) mounting:

1. Loosen the 1/2-inch hex nuts of the mounting bracket until
they are near the end of its cross bolts.

Mounting the Leupold Mark 4 1-3x14mm CQ/T scope on a
flat-top (MIL-STD-1913) mounting rail:

1. Place the Leupold Mark 4 1-3x14mm CQ/T scope atop the
MIL-STD-1913 mounting rail so that the mounting foot lugs
of the mounting foot engage the cross slots of the rail.

2. Holding the scope in place, check the eye relief of the scope;
adjust the position of the scope as necessary until the mounting
foot lugs engage the rail’s cross slots in a position that allows
for a full sight picture when the firearm is shouldered. Note
this position.

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. Return the scope with the mounting bracket to the
MIL-STD-1913 mounting rail in the same position noted
for a full sight picture.

5. Make certain that both mounting foot lugs engage the
MIL-STD-1913 mounting rail cross slots and that the mounting
bracket rails hook over each side of the MIL-STD-1913
mounting rail.

6. With one hand atop the scope pressing down and forward
to ensure a solid mount engagement, finger tighten the hex
nuts of the mounting bracket until the assembly is snug.

7. Using a 1/2-inch hex wrench or socket, alternately tighten
each nut until the mounting bracket is secure.

8. Complete the installation by using a torque wrench and
1/2-inch socket to apply 65 inch-pounds of torque to
each hex nut. (The use of the Mark 4 Torque Wrench is
recommended for this procedure.)

CARRY HANDLE MOUNTING PROCEDURE

Preparing the Leupold Mark 4 1-3x14mm CQ/T 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 1-3x14mm CQ/T scope on a
carry handle:

1. Insert the mounting foot into the sight groove of the carry
handle so that the scope’s mounting stud passes through
the carry handle’s mounting stud hole and the foot rests firmly
in the sight groove of the handle.

2. Thread the carry handle mounting stud nut onto the
mounting stud.

3. Place the firearm to the shoulder to ensure that full eye
relief is available. If lesser or greater eye relief distance is
required, return to Step 1 under “Preparing the Leupold
Mark 4 1-3x14mm CQ/T scope for carry handle mounting”

and place the stud in either the first (as measured from

the eyepiece, to mount the scope further forward) or third

(to mount the scope further back) mounting foot hole and

repeat the procedure.

4. Secure the mounting stud nut using a wrench or other

appropriate tool until it is firmly seated against the carry handle.
