Put it on my new Bergara Cima CF in 7 PRC. Haven't put a round through the rifle yet but the scope is the one of my dreams. My get another for my Springfield Waypoint 2020 in 6. 5 PRC as well.

I love everything about the scope except the abscense of illumination. At the price point and features illumination should be standard especially on a FFP scope

Great scope clarity is what you would expect from leupold clear and crisp. Magnification is great and tracking is awesome love how it locks so there is no accidental bump movement when packing it around. Will definitely be getting more to fit all my guns with them

As with all my previous Leupold products the glass is clear, reticle is great for current application. Turrets track well and hold zero.

best scope ever hands down. Leupold has a customer for life. the MK 5 3-18x44 is unbeatable in this mag range for its size and weight. glass is amazing, adjustments are crisp and smooth, and zero stop works perfectly.

The best scopes on the market period. Most highground schools still recommend Leupold for a reason. Turrets have positive clicks and glass is incredibly clear.

Clarity is unreal and the controls click sharply. Finish on everything is exceptional

I was on the fence with the tmr reticle in this scope, but after spending some time with it, it is plenty fine enough for the work i do. I think the pr1 or other more finely reticled would be too thin and unusable in any range other than 12x up. The reticle is clear and usable at 5x all the way up to 18x. Eye box is pretty generous through the magnification range as well. I also love the locking turrets which was the feature that put me here over other options. Im about to replace my other non mk5 scopes that arent already nightforce or razor hd. . . i prefer this to those bc of the locking turrets (my rifle deploys from a pack a lot. . . )

Excellent glass with a great/accurate turret system. Love the Mark 5HD scopes!

Absolutely phenomenal piece of glass. Great clarity at max magnification and I love how forgiving the eye box is. Goes perfect on my new DMR.

Very good eye relief, crystal clear glass, easy to zero --- but the couple issues I had was it arrived with a stained sun shade (it's an fde colored scope) after contacting leupold I was told they'd take care of but sent me a black replacement. . when contacting them about this I was told they only have black sun shades??? Obviously not because I ordered an fde scope so they are obviously making them for production scopes. At the range sighting in the scope I had an issue that involved not being able to get the scope/reticle low enough. You can take the turret off and bring it lower but I had to go 2 full turns with I thought was quite a bit . . after that was done no issues. It's my first leupold scope but won't be my last.

The quality and ergonomics of this scope have been a great fit for my shooting. The quality of the glass is great. Clear images throughout the zoom range. It is easy to spot my hits and those few misses :). This has helped my game improve.

I've had them all
By Hunter
I've owned and shot 95% of your premium brands, Kahles, Nightforce, S&B, Razors, etc and none are as good as this scope. The turrets are incredible, the glass is brighter than all of the other scopes and on par with the Kahles. The glass shows more color to my eye at extreme distance 1500 yds and beyond than my Kahles which is why it replaced it on my 338 Lapua. I've never lost a zero, even on a big caliber and had first round impact repeatability with no issue. Very well thought out and very...

Amazing clarity!!!
By Sonny
I recently shot at an ELR Competition in Wyoming. We engaged targets out to 2100 yards. On that 2100 yard target I could see all of the impact marks from shooters that had previously hit the target.
For the serious shooter seeking a high-performance riflescope, the 5-25x56 Mark 5HD Riflescope in Matte Black is a top-tier choice. This state-of-the-art scope is significantly lighter than its competitors, weighing up to 20 ounces less, making it a comfortable and practical addition to your shooting gear.
The Mark 5HD Riflescope is designed to maximize the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition. It features a first focal plane Tremor 3 reticle that magnifies along with the image, providing accurate range estimation at all magnification settings. This makes it an ideal tool for tactical situations, as well as for hunters and target shooters seeking greater accuracy.
The scope's superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance are enhanced by the Twilight Max HD Light Management System. This advanced system combines exceptional light transmission and glare management to deliver vivid, bright, high-contrast images from dawn until dusk.
The scope's M5C3 Three-Turn ZeroLock Elevation Dial and 35mm Maintube offer unparalleled windage and elevation adjustment travel. The 5:1 zoom ratio provides a versatile magnification range, offering a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power.
Constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum, the Mark 5HD Riflescope is incredibly durable. It also features a side focus parallax adjustment for fast, easy parallax focusing from any shooting position. The scope's dial illumination control offers positive clicks and clear numerical intensity level indicators, including off positions between each illumination intensity setting for quick return to a preferred brightness.
The scope is 100% waterproof and fogproof, thanks to its 2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing. This proprietary gas blend nearly eliminates the effects of thermal shock and reduces the diffusion of gases sealed inside your scope, ensuring it's ready for a lifetime in the field, in all conditions.
The European Style Fast-Focus Eyepiece allows for smooth, fast, and precise reticle focus adjustment. The generous eyebox provides incredible head position latitude, edge-to-edge brightness, and a full clear sight picture that fills the eyepiece completely. The scope also includes a high-speed throw lever for near-instant magnification changes and durable, flip-open lens covers for added protection.
The illuminated TMR reticle expands on the existing Mil Dot reticle design, utilizing hash marks instead of dots for increased ranging and hold-over precision. It provides aiming points for both wind and bullet drop compensation, with red illuminated center section for great contrast in low-light conditions.
In summary, the 5-25x56 Mark 5HD Riflescope is a reliable, durable, and advanced tool for any shooter seeking to enhance their long-range shooting capabilities.
