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.
Beverly J.

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.

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. . . )

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.
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.
