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.

Great scope, almost perfect

Great scope with very clear glass. 4/5 stars mainly because of 2 specific things: 1. The lines on the elevation turret are very difficult to tell if they are lined up with the reference line. The reference line is only half as wide as the lines on the knob so difficult to tell which 0. 1 mil I'm on. And then the reference line for the windage know is VERY far away from the actual turret. The line should've either been carried through the threads or been placed inside of the threads closer to the knob. 2. The reticle and subtensions could be just a hair thicker. Easy to see at 35x but most people use it closer to 20-25x.

The versatility and user friendliness

The versatility and user friendliness of these scopes are unmatched in my opinion. I have 2 now and plans of getting a 3rd one for my wife's new build. My biggest takeaway has been these scopes ability to grab light. Makes a huge difference on those first light, time to shoot moments.

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.

Make every shot count with the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope, a high-quality, durable, and reliable tool for any serious shooter. This advanced riflescope, finished in a sleek matte black, is significantly lighter than its competitors, providing a comfortable and steady shooting experience.

Experience superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance, thanks to the Twilight Max HD Light Management System. This system ensures vivid, bright, high contrast images in all weather and lighting conditions, from dawn until dusk.

The Mark 5HD Riflescope is equipped with a first focal plane Tremor 3 Reticle, designed by Horus Vision, which magnifies along with the image. This feature allows for accurate range estimation at all magnification settings, making it ideal for tactical situations, hunting, and target shooting. The grid-style reticle provides precise aiming points for bullet drop compensation and wind correction, with centralized dots at crosshair intersections for refined aiming points.

The riflescope also features a side parallax focus for fast, easy parallax focusing from any shooting position, enhancing the overall accuracy of your shots. The 35mm tube diameter allows for unparalleled windage and elevation adjustment travel, while the 5:1 zoom ratio offers a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power.

Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft quality aluminum, this riflescope is not only robust but also 100% waterproof and fogproof. It's ready for a lifetime in the field, in all conditions. The M5C3 ZeroLock adjustments and 1/10th MIL click windage and elevation adjustments ensure precise and reliable settings.

The Mark 5HD Riflescope also includes a high-speed throw lever for near-instant magnification changes, generous eyebox for faster target acquisition, and flip-open lens covers for lens protection. Whether you're a hunter or a target shooter, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope is designed to maximize the performance of your long-range rifles and ammunition.
