HIEND scope

Very clear glass, with excellent turret feel and operation. The eyebox is super comfortable and sufficiently forgiving. The reticle design helps maintain focus better compared to the older TMR. One minor drawback is that the reticle does not have 1 MIL markings.

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.

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.

If you're seeking a high-quality, durable riflescope that offers superior clarity and precision, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Series Riflescope is your ideal choice. This advanced riflescope is significantly lighter than its counterparts, weighing up to 20 ounces less, making it a reliable and comfortable option for long-range shooting.

Experience the difference with its superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance, enhanced by the Twilight Max HD Light Management System. This unique feature not only provides premium high-definition lens clarity but also adds up to 30 extra minutes of shooting light and eliminates 90% more glare-producing stray light than competitors.

The Mark 5HD is equipped with an Illuminated First Focal Plane PR-1 MOA Reticle, a feature designed with input from elite shooters and hunters. This MOA-based grid offers a large number of aiming points for long-range and extreme long-range shots, with 1 MOA increments and 40 MOA of measurement in each direction. The illuminated center portion ensures optimal low-light performance.

The riflescope boasts a 5:1 zoom ratio, offering a versatile magnification range for a wide field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power. The M1C3 Adjustment feature provides a 1/4 MOA dial with three revolutions of travel, a push-button ZeroLock, and a revolution indicator.

Designed with a fast-focus eyepiece, scratch-resistant lenses, and an ultra-lightweight design that disperses recoil energy, this riflescope offers unrivaled durability and performance. The waterproof and fog-proof integrity ensures it's ready to perform in all conditions.

The 35mm Maintube allows for unparalleled windage and elevation adjustment travel, while the side focus parallax adjustment ensures fast, easy parallax focusing from any shooting position. The throw lever allows for near-instant magnification changes, and the dial illumination control provides positive clicks and clear numerical intensity level indicators.

In summary, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Series Riflescope is a testament to advanced, reliable, and accurate shooting equipment, designed to maximize the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammo.
