The scope must be supplied with the instruction manual, lens flipback covers, lens shade, hex key for the dial, and marked packaging. 2. Leupold BDC turret specifically designed for MK 248 Mod 1 ammunition. Requirements: Magnification. The magnification shall be continuously variable from 3.5 6.5X minimum to 16 25X maximum. Ballistic adjustments. Elevation and windage adjustment. Adjustment for elevation and windage shall be knobs which have clearly marked graduations and tactile clicks with an increment, in target space, of 0.1 milliradians (20 seconds of arc). The initial zero position of optical axis shall not move more than 0.16 milliradians (33 seconds of arc), in target space, when each adjustment knob is cycled from 0 to the extreme adjustments and returned, for 10 cycles. The elevation and windage adjustments shall meet the above requirements at ambient temperature. Adjustment Range. The DOS shall provide for at least 20 milliradians (mr) in elevation (T). The elevation turrets shall exhibit a performance that allows the operator to achieve elevation needs within two turns (20 mr) (T). The DOS shall have a turn indicator that is both visible and tactile to easily determine which turn the DOS elevation adjustment is on without returning to zero stop (O). Adjustable Zero Stop. The DOS shall be capable of having an adjustable zero stop on the elevation turret (O). Bullet drop compensation (BDC). MK 248 MOD 0 BDC elevation dial. The primary elevation dial shall incorporate BDC markings at 100 meter increments from 100 meters to a minimum of 1,000 meters which are optimized for MK 248 MOD 0 (DODIC A191, 190 grain) ammunition. The MK 248 MOD 0 BDC elevation dial shall be installed on the optic. The dial shall be marked MK 248 MOD 0 BDC - METERS. MK 248 MOD 1 BDC elevation dial. An elevation dial that incorporates BDC markings at 100 meter increments from 100 meters to a minimum of 1,000 meters which are optimized for MK 248 MOD 1 (DODIC AB43, 220 grain) ammunition. The MK 248 MOD 1 BDC elevation dial shall be included in the deployment kit. The dial shall be marked MK 248 MOD 1 BDC - METERS.

The day optical scope shall maintain a constant target/reticle aspect ratio throughout its entire magnification range. The reticle shall use a milliradian scale to facilitate rapid target ranging and engagement. The reticle shall be composed of a ranging stadia and a targeting stadia with no greater than 0.5 milliradian (103 arc seconds) mark spacing on both elevation and windage. The targeting stadia shall be configured to facilitate the use of operator holds for simultaneous bullet drop and windage correction. 3.18.4.1 Cover plate (O). The reticle shall be a two piece cemented type consisting of a reticle and a cover plate. The cover plate shall have a thickness of 0.225 cm to.325 cm. Cover plate. The reticle shall be a two piece cemented type consisting of a reticle and a cover plate. The cover plate shall have a thickness of 0.225 cm to.325 cm. Optical Glass. All optical elements shall be per MIL-PRF-13830. Glass containing Thorium, or its compounds, shall not be used in the manufacture of the day optical scope. All glass elements shall be anti-reflection coated meeting minimum requirements of MIL-C-675. Eyepiece focus. The eyepiece shall be easily adjustable and provide at least plus 1 diopters to minus 2 diopters from the position of best focus on the reticle surface. Eyepiece and zoom torque. The eyepiece and zoom torque values shall be between 3.46 to 25.3 kg-cm (3 to 22 in-lb) at each of the following temperatures: room temperature: minus 50 +/- 5 degrees F and; plus 145 +/- 5 degrees F. Resolution. At the highest magnification setting, resolution shall be less than 4.5 arc seconds using a 4-6X diopometer. Vertical and horizontal lines shall be resolvable to within 0.5 diopters. Clear eye distance (CED). The CED shall be greater than 86 millimeters when measured from the last surface of the eyepiece housing to the exit pupil. Cleanliness and optical quality. There shall be no evidence of glass, fracture, cement separation, grease or fingerprints on any optical component when viewing through the objective or eyepiece end of the sight unit. There shall not be more than 3 particles of foreign matter visible on the reticle surface and no particle shall exceed the apparent width of a reticle line. There shall be no foreign matter obvious to the unaided eye which would impair optical performance when looking into the eyepiece against a background having a brightness of the sky in average daylight. Watertightness. The day optical sight shall show no evidence of leakage when submerged in water to a minimum depth of 3.28 feet (one meter) for a one hour period. No moisture or fogging shall be observed. Sealing. All internal optical areas of the day optical sight shall be purged with dry nitrogen. The sight unit shall be sealed such that the interior is moisture-free after purging. The sight shall remain sealed when subjected to a maximum pressure of negative (-) 5.4 pounds per square inch gage for eight hours. Exterior surface. All components of the day optical sight except the lenses, shall have a permanent non-reflective exterior surface. Drop survivability - day optical sight. The day optical sight shall withstand a two foot drop onto dirt. The dirt shall have a minimum soil penetration resistance of 750 pounds per square inch at a depth between 1 and 1 inches. The day optical sight shall still meet all the optical requirements. There shall be no functional damage to the day optical sight.
