Phenomenal scope! The glass is so clear, the body is built like a tank, and the color is perfect. I'm not saying anything new! You guys have always been known for your quality, warranty, and customer service. More importantly, great American company. This is my third Leupold and it won't be my last!

Very clear glass. Has my favorite turrets on it. Is a bit large compared to others but not overly heavy. The reticle is excellent for hold overs.

Second one i got because

Second one i got because I was tired of switching it between rifles. That should say it all. I've gotten to used many different brands at matches or helping folks mount and zero scopes. Always choose Leupold. They are also an all American company run by good like minded people. Please keep doing things the way you have been!

Phenomenal optic just make sure

Phenomenal optic just make sure for this capability of zoom DO NOT buy a 0 MOA optic mount you will top the turret out at 21 mils. 20 MOA suggested!!! I was very frustrated at myself for not knowing this. Other than that this optic is absolutely amazing!!!!

This was my fifth Mark

This was my fifth Mark 5HD 5-25 scope. I think the light dispersion and edge to edge clarity exceeds most other scopes at this level. When shooting 100 or 1000 yards, you need to be confident, to be an ethical hunter. Leupold eliminates the guesswork. I own several other high quality optics but prefer Leupold.

I love this and recommend it to anyone that asks me for the best optic for a SPR setup. I just wish they made the illuminated tremor reticle for the FDE tube. Will be buying a Mark 5 2-10 for my next rifle build.

I've looked through a lot

I've looked through a lot of scopes - made by many other manufacturers - and give this scope two thumbs up. The scope glass is crispy clean, no issues with eye box, large dials, and the scope weighs a lot less than others with this magnification!

This is my second Mk

This is my second Mk 5 and it works great. The glass is crystal clear. I love the feel of the dials, the outside texture is just aggressive enough, and the clicks are very tactile. The zoom and parallax adjustment are easy enough to manipulate, but don't move while firing, even a magnum round. Next time I need a high end optic, I'll be reaching for a Mk 5, again.

I love this scope. Everything is crisp and clear. It has excellent tracking. Easy to zero, stays zeroed. My only complaint is the side focus knob moves way too easy. That should be a bit more solid in my opinion.

Gold standard for SPR and DMR.

Got the 3. 8-18 model on a 6mm ARC rifle. Lots of range of zoom. The Mark 5HD seems to be the gold standard for SPR or DMR weapons. The reticle and glass are supper crisp. One of my favorite features are the crisp turret dials and the easy to find eye relief. An improvement I'd like to see is more diopter features for those needing corrective vision and astigmatism.

This and the 7-35 are

This and the 7-35 are the only scope I will put on a rifle I have to count on. Except my AR Police Service weapon that I have a Mark 8 1. 1-10x24 CQBS. I have them on my PRS and NRL rifles. I have 1 on each of my built 22s. Only Leupold! Leupold's are worth every effort you have to put forth to get them. Keep up the GREAT work LEUPOLD!

Zeroed to a 338 Norma,

Zeroed to a 338 Norma, T3 reticle with some dial, plus a 20MOA rail gives me more than enough elevation to distance (22mil @1800yds, 300gr SMK @2750 fps). The glass clarity edge to edge is great, sweet spot is centered, low light is adequate, but since this is a target rig, I don't plan to do much twilight shooting. Also didn't need illumination for my purposes. 7-35 is a big magnification range, most of my shots taken at 25x and below, but the upper end is totally usable if necessary. This is affordable alpha glass and you don't give up anything over higher priced options except branding. Made in USA, exceptional warranty, military-rugged provenance - you really get the entire package with this glass

About Leupold Mark 5HD

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.
