I have a Remington 700 LTR. I am asking if the Leupold Mark IV 3.5-10x40 with duplex reticle would be a good choice for dual purpose shooting, both hunting and target. Thanks for the input.

I would think so. That said whats your price range that your trying to stay in and maybe we can give you some options to compare with the Leupold.

I am willing to spend as much as the rifle cost, say $1,000 range.

I'd go with something like the Bushnell 3-12X44 (http://swfa.com/Bushnell-3-12x44-Elite-4200-30mm-Rifle-Scope-P45484.aspx) or, if it were available today, the Vortex 4-16 PST. Another option, often mentioned here - and one I've used on an LTR - is the SS 3-9X40. As far as I'm concerned, there are two kinds of scopes you might mount on a rifle used for hunting:
