FAQ

What is the benefit of the illuminated first focal plane PR1-MIL reticle?

The illuminated first focal plane PR1-MIL reticle in the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope allows for accurate target acquisition even in low light conditions. This makes it suitable for a variety of lighting conditions and perfect for long-range shooting.

What is the Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS)?

The Custom Dial System (CDS) is a feature that allows you 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.

What is the purpose of the Motion Sensor Technology (MST)?

The Motion Sensor Technology (MST) in the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope extends battery life by automatically deactivating the illuminated reticle after five minutes of inactivity and then reactivating instantly as soon as movement is detected.

Is the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope night vision compatible?

Yes, the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope is night vision compatible. It has micro-adjustable brightness settings that can be fine-tuned to your night vision equipment's sensitivity.

What does it mean that the riflescope is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof?

This means that the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope is designed to withstand extreme weather conditions and shocks without compromising the internal optics. It uses advanced internal gasses and sealing methods that keep the internals moisture-free and crystal clear for life, even under extreme temperatures and elevation changes.

Great scope, almost perfect

Great scope with very clear glass. 4/5 stars mainly because of 2 specific things: 1. The lines on the elevation turret are very difficult to tell if they are lined up with the reference line. The reference line is only half as wide as the lines on the knob so difficult to tell which 0. 1 mil I'm on. And then the reference line for the windage know is VERY far away from the actual turret. The line should've either been carried through the threads or been placed inside of the threads closer to the knob. 2. The reticle and subtensions could be just a hair thicker. Easy to see at 35x but most people use it closer to 20-25x.

The versatility and user friendliness

The versatility and user friendliness of these scopes are unmatched in my opinion. I have 2 now and plans of getting a 3rd one for my wife's new build. My biggest takeaway has been these scopes ability to grab light. Makes a huge difference on those first light, time to shoot moments.

This is an incredible optic,

This is an incredible optic, I don't want the rest of my review to take away from the performance of the optic or the capability of the reticle, in daylight. I have deducted two stars from what would otherwise be a 5 star optic because of the lack of illumination at this price point. This would be my go to scope if Leupold had included illumination or at least a more bold vertical stadia on the PR-2 reticle which allowed for some level of precision during dawn and dusk at the lower magnification ranges. In lieu of that, even an illuminated center dot would be great. For some reason, Leupold continues to make what would otherwise be phenomenal optics with limited reticle choices, especially if you are looking for an illuminated reticle.

Arrived broken. Would not zero

Arrived broken. Would not zero with all shots falling about an inch to the right. Sent back to Leupold (having to pay shipping for an RMA was a nice touch) for repair. Scope was mounted in a different set of rings on a different rifle when returned but had the same result. Just going to cut my losses at this point and go in a different direction.

The perfect scope to keep

The perfect scope to keep my AR10 with a Proof carbon barrel light. Forgiving eye box, wide magnification range, and light. Very quick sight in measuring my miss with the MOA reticle and making adjustment. Verify group/zero, slip your zero stop, good to go. Knobs are easy to read with my older eyes and have great feel and ergonomics. I'm very satisfied with my latest Mark V.

Awesome scope, clear, lightweight and reliable

Excellent scope. Clear glass and packed with features in a form factor that is lighter than NF and top tier Vortex scopes of the same class. I bought this scope to put on a new rifle I was getting to take on a trip to South Africa. I wanted the illuminated reticle for low light shooting and the tremor 3 reticle for after the hunt on long range shooting adventures. This scope has been a great addition to one of my magnum rifles and an addition to all the other Leupold scopes I have on my other rifles currently.

Great glass, yes it is harder to see the reticle when positioned at 3. 6 but I dont think one thing takes away from the entire scope. I just turned the power up a little bit and I'll leave it at that level. Overall wonderful product and I would recommend this.

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.

An embodiment of precision and versatility, the Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm Riflescope stands out as an exceptional choice for long-range shooters and hunters seeking high-quality, durable, and advanced optical performance. This matte black riflescope is engineered with an illuminated first focal plane PR1-MIL reticle, ensuring accurate target acquisition even in low light conditions. The robust 35mm tube and M5C3 dial enhance the scope's reliability and functionality, making it a top-tier option for serious marksmen.

The Mark 5HD's high-grade optical system boasts unparalleled light transmission, designed to excel under challenging lighting scenarios. Its superior glare reduction capability ensures a crisp, clear image even when facing harsh, direct sunlight. The scope's resolution and clarity meet the rigorous standards expected by professional guides and competitive shooters alike.

Ergonomically optimized, the Mark 5HD features intuitive tactile and audible click adjustments, with prominently displayed numbers for ease of use. The inclusion of a high-speed throw lever allows for rapid magnification changes, enabling shooters to adapt quickly to dynamic shooting situations. The scope's 5:1 zoom ratio offers a significant range of magnification, from mid-range to extended distances, providing the perfect balance between magnification and field of view.

Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS) allows for the customization of the turret to match specific ballistics and environmental conditions, streamlining the aiming process. The innovative ZeroLock and ZeroStop systems prevent accidental adjustments and ensure a reliable return to zero, safeguarding your settings against the unexpected.

Constructed with a lightweight aluminum housing, the Mark 5HD maintains durability without unnecessary weight, contributing to its ease of handling. The Motion Sensor Technology (MST) conserves battery life by deactivating the illuminated reticle after a period of inactivity and reactivating it upon detecting motion.

The riflescope's side focus parallax adjustment ensures that the reticle remains sharp and stable across various distances. Additionally, the illuminated reticle is night vision compatible, with micro-adjustable brightness settings that cater to the sensitivity of modern night vision devices.

As with all Leupold riflescopes, the Mark 5HD is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, enduring extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and shocks without compromising the internal optics. Proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, this riflescope is guaranteed to perform for life, solidifying its status as a reliable and indispensable tool for any long-range shooting endeavor.
