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.

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. . . )

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.

THE CLICKS! This optic is recognized as one of the best and most popular for a reason. The turret clicks are incredible, the glass clarity is crisp, the tracking is spot on, it's hard to beat!
David F.

2025-11-06T19:00:00
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 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.

Scope is everything expected. Crystal clear glass, Tracks accurately, a real quality optic. Thank you leupold

This is an incredible optic, I don't want the rest of my review to take away from the performance of the optic or the capability of the reticle, in daylight. I have deducted two stars from what would otherwise be a 5 star optic because of the lack of illumination at this price point. This would be my go to scope if Leupold had included illumination or at least a more bold vertical stadia on the PR-2 reticle which allowed for some level of precision during dawn and dusk at the lower magnification ranges. In lieu of that, even an illuminated center dot would be great. For some reason, Leupold continues to make what would otherwise be phenomenal optics with limited reticle choices, especially if you are looking for an illuminated reticle.

I have a few leupolds and this one, like the rest, is everything you'd want in a scope. 10/10 recommend.

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 Mark 5HD 7-35x56mm riflescope apart is its ability to deliver unparalleled precision and clarity, even at extreme distances. This high-definition scope, with its matte black finish and 35mm tube diameter, is designed to maximize the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition.
The Mark 5HD is equipped with a First Focal Plane TMR (Mk) MIL Based Reticle, which expands on the existing Mil Dot reticle design. It utilizes hash marks instead of dots for increased ranging and hold-over precision, providing aiming points for both wind and bullet drop compensation. This non-caliber specific reticle enables full function of the holdovers throughout the entire magnification range, making it the current military standard.
This riflescope features a M5C3 dial and side parallax focus, offering more tactile, audible click adjustments and larger numbers for quick and accurate fire control. The high-speed throw lever allows for near-instant magnification changes, enhancing your shooting experience.
The Mark 5HD boasts a 35mm Maintube, crafted from the highest quality domestic, aerospace-grade 6061-T6 Aluminum. This allows for unparalleled windage and elevation adjustment travel. The Fast-Focus Eyepiece brings the reticle into focus quickly, ensuring you never miss a target due to blurry vision.
The Twilight Max HD Light Management System adds up to 30 extra minutes of shooting light and eliminates 90% more glare-producing stray light than competitors, providing premium high-definition edge-to-edge lens clarity. The ultra-lightweight design disperses recoil energy for unrivaled durability and performance.
The Mark 5HD riflescope is Punisher Tested, surviving 5,000 impacts on Leupold's recoil simulation machine, with the force of each impact being 3x the recoil of a .308 rifle. This rigorous testing ensures that the scope performs flawlessly under any condition.
With its scratch-resistant lenses and absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity, the Mark 5HD is ready to perform in the field, in all conditions. This riflescope is not just a tool, but a game-changer for any serious shooter or hunter, offering an unmatched combination of precision, clarity, and durability.
