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.

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.

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. . . )

Excellent glass with a great/accurate turret system. Love the Mark 5HD scopes!

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.

This is an excellent scope. Crystal clear. The Tremor scale is what you want.

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.
Before you embark on your next hunting or shooting adventure, consider the Mark 5HD 7-35x56mm Riflescope, a high-performance, precision-engineered optical device designed to maximize your shooting accuracy. This matte black riflescope, featuring a First Focal Plane PR2-MOA Reticle, M1C3 Dial, and a 35mm Tube, is your perfect partner for long-range shooting, offering exceptional magnification without compromising on weight.
Constructed around Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, the Mark 5HD 7-35x56mm Riflescope delivers unparalleled light transmission, designed to excel even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Its industry-leading glare reduction ensures a clear, crisp image in harsh, direct light, while the resolution and clarity cater to the stringent demands of professional guides and shooters in the field.
Experience the difference with the Mark 5HD. Its superior edge-to-edge clarity, extreme low-light performance, and the versatility of its multiple reticle options make this rugged scope a game-changer at the range or in the field. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD is designed to maximize the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition.
Ergonomically designed for ease of use, the Mark 5HD features tactile, audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, enabling faster, accurate fire downrange.

High-definition, calcium-fluoride lenses ensure incredible clarity at all magnification levels.

With its advanced internal gasses and sealing methods, this riflescope is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, capable of withstanding extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, ensuring the optics stay moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
