I was on the fence

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. . . )

Very good eye relief, crystal

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.

FEATURED REVIEWS

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.

What sets the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope apart is its superior design and advanced features, making it a top choice for serious hunters and target shooters. This matte black riflescope is significantly lighter than its competitors, offering a comfortable and easy-to-handle experience.

The Mark 5HD is equipped with a first focal plane Horus H59 reticle, a feature that magnifies along with the image, providing precise 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 riflescope boasts a 35mm tube diameter and a versatile 5:1 zoom ratio, offering a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power. Its M5C3 ZeroLock adjustments and 1/10th MIL click windage and elevation adjustments ensure accurate fire downrange faster.

The product's side parallax focus eliminates parallax error, enhancing the overall accuracy of your shot. The riflescope also features a Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which provides exceptional light transmission and glare management, ensuring vivid, bright, high contrast images from dawn until dusk.

Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum, this riflescope is not only durable but also 100% waterproof and fogproof, ready for a lifetime in the field under any conditions. The 2nd Generation Argon/Krypton Waterproofing further reduces the effects of thermal shock and gas diffusion inside your scope.

The Mark 5HD Riflescope also includes flip-open lens covers for lens protection, a generous eyebox for faster target acquisition, and a throw lever for near-instant magnification changes. The Horus H59 reticle is designed with a grid-style layout for precise aiming points, bullet drop compensation, and wind correction.

In summary, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope is a high-quality, reliable, and advanced tool that offers superior performance for both hunting and tactical environments.
