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

Awesome optic. Conducted tracking test to 8 MILs and was spot on. Had an opportunity to do a mile shoot and optic was phenomenal. I do wish Leupold made a coyote version of their MK 5 competition turret.

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.

From the moment you hold the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope, you'll notice its superior quality and lightweight design. Weighing up to 20 ounces less than comparable models, this riflescope offers an edge in both field and range settings. Its versatile 5-25x magnification range allows for precision in mid-range shots, while also extending your reach for long-distance targeting.

Equipped with three revolutions of elevation adjustment and a variety of reticle options, this scope is engineered to maximize the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition. At its core, the Mark 5HD is built around Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, delivering unparalleled light transmission even in the most challenging lighting conditions. Its industry-leading glare reduction ensures a clear image in harsh, direct light, while the resolution and clarity meet the exacting demands of professional guides and shooters.

Designed with user comfort in mind, the Mark 5HD features tactile and audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, enabling faster, accurate fire downrange. This riflescope is not only feature-rich but also robust and durable. It's 100% waterproof, fogproof, and like all Leupold riflescopes, it's designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, guaranteeing a lifetime of performance.

The Mark 5HD's 5:1 zoom ratio provides five times more magnification at high power than at low power, allowing you to fine-tune your magnification for the perfect balance between magnification and field of view. Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) lets you customize your turret to your exact ballistics and environmental conditions for dead-on targeting.

The ZeroLock system prevents accidental dial movement, while the ZeroStop system creates a backstop when returning the dial back to zero. The M5C3 Zerolock Adjustments offer 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 adjustment.

The Twilight Max HD Light Management System delivers the clearest, brightest image with optimal light transmission, glare management, and contrast & resolution. The side focus adjusts the scope's parallax for a clearer reticle and less perceived movement when shooting at different distances.

Experience the ultimate in riflescope technology with the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm, designed to withstand extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks, ensuring the optics remain moisture-free and crystal clear for life.
