Review Summary
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.

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

Great scope put it on my 300prc and liked it so much I bought one for my Dad's rifle.

Very clear glass, took my MK12 out to 700 yards with ease. My only complaint is the windage marker being slanted, makes it unnecesarily difficult to get an accurate windage dial. So far so good.

Arrived broken. Would not zero with all shots falling about an inch to the right. Sent back to Leupold (having to pay shipping for an RMA was a nice touch) for repair. Scope was mounted in a different set of rings on a different rifle when returned but had the same result. Just going to cut my losses at this point and go in a different direction.

The perfect scope to keep my AR10 with a Proof carbon barrel light. Forgiving eye box, wide magnification range, and light. Very quick sight in measuring my miss with the MOA reticle and making adjustment. Verify group/zero, slip your zero stop, good to go. Knobs are easy to read with my older eyes and have great feel and ergonomics. I'm very satisfied with my latest Mark V.

Absolutely love this scope. This is my first 56mm scope, and what a huge difference. I wanted to see how long i could still see deer after sunset. I was able to still see a deer almost 1 hour later. The amount of light this scope let's in, is amazing. I will be purchasing another one. Keep up the great work Leupold!

I've only used this at the range, but I'm sold. The glass is very clear, the tactile movement of the turrets is awesome, and I really like the mechanics of its return to zero. I can't wait to get out to the field.

Excellent scope. Clear glass and packed with features in a form factor that is lighter than NF and top tier Vortex scopes of the same class. I bought this scope to put on a new rifle I was getting to take on a trip to South Africa. I wanted the illuminated reticle for low light shooting and the tremor 3 reticle for after the hunt on long range shooting adventures. This scope has been a great addition to one of my magnum rifles and an addition to all the other Leupold scopes I have on my other rifles currently.

Great glass, yes it is harder to see the reticle when positioned at 3. 6 but I dont think one thing takes away from the entire scope. I just turned the power up a little bit and I'll leave it at that level. Overall wonderful product and I would recommend this.

Clear glass and some of the best features. Very tactile clicks and very repeatable tracking. Parallax works as well as every other high end scope and reticle is crisp and clear when adjusted properly. Very pleased with this scope and my 5-25 MARK 5HD also.

The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x is hands down one of the best scopes I've used. Glass is razor-sharp, turrets are crisp and repeatable, and the build quality is second to none. Lightweight for its class and holds zero flawlessly. A serious scope for serious shooters.

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.
John B.

2025-08-28T20:00:00
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!

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.
