Wonderful finish and excellent reticle/turret matching option from Leupold! Very dependable, forgiving eyebox and easily adjustable features as come to expect from Leupold and the Mark 5HD.

So far, so good. Very happy with build quality and the clarity of the lenses. Mostly have only got it sighted in and some general target shooting getting the ammo choices dialed in.

Have not sight in rifle yet but wow this is a nice piece of glass eye relief is amazing mounted on to a Weatherby mark v apex in 6. 5 rpm only thing I could ask for would be more mounting options in the 35 mil tube. Can not wait to take to the range and run it through its paces

Excellent scope. Just got an elk with it. First focal plane and pr1, retinal is perfect for my uses. Shoots good at a thousand yards too.

Fantastic clarity and smooth operation

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.

This is one of the finest scopes I have owned, the clarity, the ease of use and of course the unbelievable warranty. I am truly a Leupold customer for life.

Put it on my new Bergara Cima CF in 7 PRC. Haven't put a round through the rifle yet but the scope is the one of my dreams. My get another for my Springfield Waypoint 2020 in 6. 5 PRC as well.

I love everything about the scope except the abscense of illumination. At the price point and features illumination should be standard especially on a FFP scope

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.
Beverly J.

2026-01-05T19:00:00
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.
Dan S.

2026-01-05T19:00:00
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.

Clarity is unreal and the controls click sharply. Finish on everything is exceptional

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. . . )

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!!!

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.
Over the years, precision shooters and hunters alike have sought out optics that offer a blend of durability, clarity, and advanced functionality. The 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Series Riflescope is a testament to this pursuit, delivering a high-quality, durable, accurate, reliable, and advanced optical solution for the discerning marksman.
Crafted with an ultra-lightweight design, this matte black riflescope is up to 20 ounces lighter than its competitors, making it a less burdensome addition to your long-range rifle setup. The superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance are enhanced by the Twilight Max HD Light Management System, which not only adds up to 30 extra minutes of shooting light but also eliminates 90% more glare-producing stray light than competitors, ensuring premium high-definition lens clarity.
The illuminated first focal plane Tremor 3 reticle is a standout feature, designed by Horus Vision with precision in mind. It utilizes a MIL-based system with a grid style that provides precise aiming points for bullet drop compensation and wind correction. The reticle magnifies along with the image, allowing for accurate range estimation across the entire magnification range, making it ideal for both tactical situations and hunting scenarios.
For those seeking reliable and tactile adjustments, the M5C3 dial offers 1/4 MOA click adjustments with three revolutions of travel, a push-button ZeroLock, and a revolution indicator, enabling you to dial in your shot with confidence. The fast-focus eyepiece ensures that the reticle comes into sharp focus swiftly, while the side focus parallax adjustment allows for quick and easy elimination of parallax error from any shooting position.
The scope's 35mm maintube provides exceptional windage and elevation adjustment travel, giving you the freedom to fine-tune your shots in challenging conditions. The robust construction is Punisher Tested, meaning each scope has endured 5,000 impacts on Leupold's recoil simulation machine, equivalent to three times the recoil of a .308 rifle, ensuring that it can withstand the rigors of the field.
Moreover, the riflescope is built to last with scratch-resistant lenses that meet extreme military standards, and it boasts absolute waterproof and fogproof integrity, ready to perform in any environmental conditions. The throw lever facilitates near-instant magnification changes, and the versatile 5:1 zoom ratio offers a broad field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power.
The dial illumination control features positive clicks and clear numerical intensity level indicators, with off positions between each setting for quick return to a preferred brightness. The illuminated front focal Tremor 3 reticle is thoughtfully designed with centralized dots at crosshair intersections, chevron MIL markers, and rapid ranging marks to enhance your shooting experience.
In summary, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Series Riflescope is an exceptional choice for those who require a scope that embodies high performance, versatility, and precision, whether for hunting or target shooting. Its advanced features and uncompromising quality make it a superior alternative to other scopes in its class.
