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.

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!

Phenomenal optic just make sure for this capability of zoom DO NOT buy a 0 MOA optic mount you will top the turret out at 21 mils. 20 MOA suggested!!! I was very frustrated at myself for not knowing this. Other than that this optic is absolutely amazing!!!!

This was my fifth Mark 5HD 5-25 scope. I think the light dispersion and edge to edge clarity exceeds most other scopes at this level. When shooting 100 or 1000 yards, you need to be confident, to be an ethical hunter. Leupold eliminates the guesswork. I own several other high quality optics but prefer Leupold.

I love this and recommend it to anyone that asks me for the best optic for a SPR setup. I just wish they made the illuminated tremor reticle for the FDE tube. Will be buying a Mark 5 2-10 for my next rifle build.

The mark 5HD is truly in a class of its own. Leupold got it right with this series!

I've looked through a lot of scopes - made by many other manufacturers - and give this scope two thumbs up. The scope glass is crispy clean, no issues with eye box, large dials, and the scope weighs a lot less than others with this magnification!

This is my second Mk 5 and it works great. The glass is crystal clear. I love the feel of the dials, the outside texture is just aggressive enough, and the clicks are very tactile. The zoom and parallax adjustment are easy enough to manipulate, but don't move while firing, even a magnum round. Next time I need a high end optic, I'll be reaching for a Mk 5, again.

The gold-standard for all High-end optics to follow! Great scope, highest quality. It's already been stretched out to over 1k yards on my gun!

Absolutely amazing. Bought this for a PRS build and am extremely happy. Haven't had it out past 100 yet but it is great. Clarity, FOV, etc. , all great things!!!

Really nice scope however the reticle is very small and hard to see at low power.

I love this scope. Everything is crisp and clear. It has excellent tracking. Easy to zero, stays zeroed. My only complaint is the side focus knob moves way too easy. That should be a bit more solid in my opinion.

Moved from the MK4 to MK5, glass is more clear at low lighting and you very visible wind direction down range. Must have for long range shooting.

Got the 3. 8-18 model on a 6mm ARC rifle. Lots of range of zoom. The Mark 5HD seems to be the gold standard for SPR or DMR weapons. The reticle and glass are supper crisp. One of my favorite features are the crisp turret dials and the easy to find eye relief. An improvement I'd like to see is more diopter features for those needing corrective vision and astigmatism.

This and the 7-35 are the only scope I will put on a rifle I have to count on. Except my AR Police Service weapon that I have a Mark 8 1. 1-10x24 CQBS. I have them on my PRS and NRL rifles. I have 1 on each of my built 22s. Only Leupold! Leupold's are worth every effort you have to put forth to get them. Keep up the GREAT work LEUPOLD!

Zeroed to a 338 Norma, T3 reticle with some dial, plus a 20MOA rail gives me more than enough elevation to distance (22mil @1800yds, 300gr SMK @2750 fps). The glass clarity edge to edge is great, sweet spot is centered, low light is adequate, but since this is a target rig, I don't plan to do much twilight shooting. Also didn't need illumination for my purposes. 7-35 is a big magnification range, most of my shots taken at 25x and below, but the upper end is totally usable if necessary. This is affordable alpha glass and you don't give up anything over higher priced options except branding. Made in USA, exceptional warranty, military-rugged provenance - you really get the entire package with this glass

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.
Under the banner of Leupold, a brand synonymous with high-quality and durable optics, the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope stands out as a reliable and versatile tool for long-range shooting. This riflescope is significantly lighter than its counterparts, up to 20 ounces less, offering you an edge in the field or at the shooting range.
The Mark 5HD is equipped with a 5-25x magnification range, allowing for precise mid-range shots while also providing the flexibility for long-distance targeting. Its first focal plane PR2-MIL reticle enhances accuracy in range estimation and bullet drop compensation, making it an ideal choice for hunters and target shooters alike.
Built around Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, the Mark 5HD delivers unmatched light transmission, designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions. Its industry-leading glare reduction ensures a clear image even in harsh, direct light, while the resolution and clarity meet the stringent demands of professional guides and shooters.
The Mark 5HD is ergonomically designed with tactile and audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, all aimed at delivering accurate fire downrange faster. The M5C3 Zerolock Adjustments provide up to 30-MILs of adjustment in 3 revolutions and 0.1 MIL clicks, with visual and tactile revolution indicators to prevent any confusion during adjustments.
This riflescope also features Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS), allowing you to customize your turret to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. The ZeroLock system and ZeroStop system work in tandem to prevent accidental dial movement and ensure an accurate return to zero.
The Mark 5HD is housed in lightweight aluminum, offering excellent durability and ruggedness without adding unnecessary weight. It's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, designed to withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks. The Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and reactivating instantly upon detecting movement.
The side focus feature adjusts the scope's parallax, ensuring a clearer reticle and less perceived movement when shooting at different distances. Like all Leupold riflescopes, the Mark 5HD is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, guaranteeing a lifetime of performance.
With a versatile 5:1 zoom ratio, the Mark 5HD offers five times more magnification at high power than at low power, allowing you to find the perfect balance between magnification and field of view for any situation.
In summary, the 5-25x56 Mark 5HD Riflescope, with its matte black finish and first focal plane PR2-MIL reticle, is a testament to Leupold's commitment to quality, accuracy, and versatility. It's designed to handle any challenge you throw at it, making it a top choice for serious shooters and hunters.
