Variable scopes may well be

Variable scopes may well be popular and sell well but I am a fan of fixed power for specialized purposes. Too bad you cut back on fixed power production so I am forced to crank in a setting and keep it there. Anyhow, you continue to make fine products and I like my Leupold scope.

Greta for a BB gun scope

The red dot at the three highest setting is when it's possible to see even in a dark room at night, the hold overs are very hard to see also even when looking at the target, i own three other luepolds and they are all of high quality don't know where the quality went on this one if they won't let me return it I will put it on my grandson's Daisy Red Ryder very disappointed to say the least

Ticked all my boxes

My Mark 3HD 4-12x40 Firedot TMR ticked all my boxes for a shorter barrel . 308 bolt gun. MPVO. Very usefully illuminated. Very light weight. Mil-Dot second focal plain. MRAD turrets. Elevation good to 600m, with stop. Good glass. Good warranty and real support. Lacking a fifth star because they included the wrong size Allen for the elevation turret. Should be 1/16", not 0. 05". Also there is play in the windage before first click. And I could only get it at MSRP, which was expensive after adding their nice caps and good rings.

This scope is mounted on

This scope is mounted on an older refurbished Anschutz . 22 LR. The gun is utilized as a plinker/trainer at 25 and 50 yards. For me, the power range and reticle are perfect for the guns intended use. The features and quality of the scope for the price are outstanding. I am very happy with my purchase.

Beautiful Tactical Simplicity

This lightweight little scope is fantastic for the price. Optical clarity is good. Has the tried-and-true Mil-Dot reticle. The reticle is in the second focal plane. So simply leave your scope on 9 power magnification, and your mils are correct. This is not a scope for extreme long range. With this scope you get 5.6 Mils of elevation adjustment. That gets my rifle out to 700 yards. 5.6 mils is in slightly less than one revolution of the elevation dial. The elevation dial also has a zero stop. Those two features mean it is impossible to become lost in what revolution you are on. Windage dial is just for zeroing the scope. You will have to use the reticle to correct for wind with this scope.

Solid for what it is.

Solid for what it is. Lightweight, clear glass. Easy hits with a 50 meter zero, 2.7ish mil hold at 500 yards (I know, the distance measurements are mismatched) with 5.56 55 grain from a 16" barrel. Firedot is daylight bright. The windage knob is where they saved money and weight. It is awfully mushy. It is a guessing game when trying to make small zero adjustments to the windage. After zeroing it? hopefully you don't swap optics often otherwise zeroing is going to get old. This optic should be almost permanent on your firearm. If so, after zeroing, you don't ever touch the windage knob anyway. Within any purposes I might have for this, it is a five star optic, given they had to cut something, they did it where it makes sense. I pair this with an aero precision ultralight mount and an offset holosun comp red dot to do 1x better for me than a tube could (making 1.5x perfect), and it is super fun to work with. Magnification isn't just about distance- it can be very useful for precision at closer targets too. Good to go for a variety of purposes. Offset red dot lets you hose close transition targets a little faster.

It's a Leupold optic. There's not much more to say. Glass is super clear, edge to edge. The TMR reticle is easy to utilize, and once you know your round's trajectory, it's pretty much point and press the trigger. The dot intensity is easily fine-tuned for different lighting conditions, but also simple enough to find the happy medium brightness setting. The 1.5 magnification does not hinder the ability to use this scope for a reflex sight at all.

I'm very happy with the scope. I purchased the rings and mounts for a Mauser action at the same time. Ideally I might have been advised that the scope is too short to be mounted directly to the receiver, and requires a rail system. Lack of research on my part, but potentially a way to improve the scope selection process.

By James D.

Clear glass, rugged design, and a good choice for my 308 AR rifle.

Great short/mid range scope

By Jeffrey D.

Scope has good lense clarity and light transmission. Hash marks are right on. Overall size is great for braced pistols. Regarding Really?! review. It should read ?really dumb***?; 1 star on a premium made & backed scope, because you can?t read the specs before purchasing. People like you screw up overall ratings for others that are shopping based on 4 or 5 stars only products. For up close & fast, a good 1.5 is still fine for both eyes open.

Become the sharpshooter you've always aspired to be with the Leupold Mark 3HD 1.5-4x20 Riflescope. This matte black tactical scope is engineered for precision and reliability, offering a broad field of view and the ability to take accurate shots from close to mid-range distances. The Mark 3HD series stands out with its MIL-based adjustments, high-definition optics, and an exposed elevation adjustment dial for on-the-fly precision.

Crafted around Leupold's Elite Optical System, the riflescope delivers exceptional light transmission, superior glare reduction, and sharp resolution, ensuring peak performance from dawn until dusk. The integrated low-profile power selector, complemented by an integrated throw lever, allows for quick magnification changes, while the 3:1 zoom ratio provides versatility for any situation, enhancing your targeting capabilities at varying distances.

The HD performance of the Mark 3HD is bolstered by calcium-fluoride lenses, which provide unmatched clarity across all levels of magnification. The ZeroStop system is a standout feature, offering a reliable backstop for returning to zero without the risk of overshooting, ensuring your adjustments are precise and intuitive.

Customization is at your fingertips with Leupold's Custom Dial System (CDS), allowing you to tailor your turret to your specific ballistics and environmental conditions. Once your custom dial is set, simply range your target, adjust the dial, and trust in your dead-on aim.

The AR-Ballistic reticle, specifically designed for .223 AR-style rifles, incorporates a Duplex design with holdover hash marks for rapid target engagement. It is optimized for a 200-yard zero, providing aiming points out to 600 yards, and is positioned on the rear (second) focal plane, ensuring the reticle measurements remain consistent at the highest magnification.

Durability is a hallmark of Leupold scopes, and the Mark 3HD is no exception. It is rigorously tested to be completely waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, withstanding the harshest conditions and toughest recoil. Built to endure, the Mark 3HD is designed, machined, and assembled in Leupold's Oregon factory, a testament to the brand's commitment to quality and craftsmanship.
