I've looked through a lot

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

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.

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.

Gold standard for SPR and DMR.

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

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,

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

An amazing optic. I'd trust

An amazing optic. I'd trust Leupold with my life any day. I have had tons of experience with the Mark 4 series as well as the new 7-35 power Mark 5HD Army mil grid. These optics are of the highest quality and clarity. The only issue I have is not with the optics as I stated I would trust them with my life. However I find it irritating the high quality scope does not come with scope caps or even stickers for that matter. I will say it does come with a premounted "low pro" throw lever which is amazing. However from my experience with Nightforce they include some extras with a throw lever and other items. With that being said, Leupold would be my go to choice for duty or real end user optic needs due to reliability, rugged build, clarity, weight and some other small features I enjoy which Leupold does however, I find it to be user preference for the other small features.

I love the scope. But I really wish that the bronze colored one like I purchased had an illumination option. The crosshairs on the PR1-Moa reticle are very fine, and I am afraid it will make shooting tough in low light situations.

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.

Pick up a Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm and you'll feel the difference. It's up to 20 ounces lighter than other riflescopes in its class, giving you an advantage in the field or at the range. The versatile 5-25x magnification lets you dominate midrange shots, while also giving you the flexibility to reach out to long distances. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment and multiple reticle options, this scope will max out the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition, guaranteed.

Built around Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, the Mark 5HD offers unmatched light transmission that's designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions. Its industry leading glare reduction provides a clear image in harsh, direct light, while the resolution and clarity will meet the demands of any professional guide or shooter. Ergonomically designed with more tactile and audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, the Mark 5HD is built to put accurate fire downrange faster.

The unique combination of features, durability, and professional-grade optical performance guarantees that the Mark 5HD can handle any challenge you throw at it. It's 100% waterproof and fogproof, and like all Leupold riflescopes, it's designed, machined, and assembled in the USA and guaranteed to perform for life.

Features

5:1 Zoom Ratio
A versatile 5:1 zoom ratio gives you 5 times more magnification at high power than at low power (model magnification ranges may be available in powers of 5x: 1-5, 2-10, 3-15, 4-20, etc.), so you can adjust your magnification to find the perfect balance between magnification and field of view for any situation. The larger the zoom ratio, the more versatile one scope can be.

Custom Dial Compatible
Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) gives you the ability to customize your turret (adjustment dial) to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your new custom dial is installed, simply range the target, turn the dial to that number, and aim dead on.

Zero Lock Dial
The ZeroLock system eliminates accidental dial movement by locking it in place.

Zero Stop
The ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero, so you don't accidently turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.

Side Focus
The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax, making the reticle clearer and have less perceived movement when you're shooting at different distances.

Twilight Max HD
The Twilight Max HD Light Management Systems offers our clearest, brightest image with three main benefits: Best Light Transmission - Maximizes the most ambient light in low-light environments for extended visibility. Best Glare Management - Reduces more glare through maximum lens coatings and minimizes image washout caused by stray light. Best Contrast & Resolution - Creates the clearest possible image using premium high-definition, edge-to-edge lens prescriptions and additional HD lens coatings.

M1C3 Adjustments
These low-profile dials are available on select models and provide up to 71.5MOA of adjustment in 3 revolutions and 1/4 MOA clicks. Visual and tactile revolution indicators ensure you don't get lost in the travel. The ZeroLock feature prevents inadvertent adjustments and ensures accurate return to zero.

Motion Sensor Technology (MST)
Motion Sensor Technology (MST) extends battery life by automatically deactivating illuminated reticles after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivates instantly as soon as movement is detected.

Waterproof, Fogproof & Shockproof
Leupold pioneered modern waterproof and fogproof technology using advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, so the internals of the optics stay moisture free and crystal clear for life.

  • Versatile 5:1 zoom ratio
