Phenomenal scope! The glass is so clear, the body is built like a tank, and the color is perfect. I'm not saying anything new! You guys have always been known for your quality, warranty, and customer service. More importantly, great American company. This is my third Leupold and it won't be my last!

Very clear glass. Has my favorite turrets on it. Is a bit large compared to others but not overly heavy. The reticle is excellent for hold overs.

Second one i got because I was tired of switching it between rifles. That should say it all. I've gotten to used many different brands at matches or helping folks mount and zero scopes. Always choose Leupold. They are also an all American company run by good like minded people. Please keep doing things the way you have been!

Phenomenal optic just make sure for this capability of zoom DO NOT buy a 0 MOA optic mount you will top the turret out at 21 mils. 20 MOA suggested!!! I was very frustrated at myself for not knowing this. Other than that this optic is absolutely amazing!!!!

This was my fifth Mark 5HD 5-25 scope. I think the light dispersion and edge to edge clarity exceeds most other scopes at this level. When shooting 100 or 1000 yards, you need to be confident, to be an ethical hunter. Leupold eliminates the guesswork. I own several other high quality optics but prefer Leupold.

I love this and recommend it to anyone that asks me for the best optic for a SPR setup. I just wish they made the illuminated tremor reticle for the FDE tube. Will be buying a Mark 5 2-10 for my next rifle build.

The mark 5HD is truly in a class of its own. Leupold got it right with this series!

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 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.

The gold-standard for all High-end optics to follow! Great scope, highest quality. It's already been stretched out to over 1k yards on my gun!

Absolutely amazing. Bought this for a PRS build and am extremely happy. Haven't had it out past 100 yet but it is great. Clarity, FOV, etc. , all great things!!!

Really nice scope however the reticle is very small and hard to see at low power.

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.

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 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!

Excellent scope

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

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.
Just when you thought long-range precision couldn't get any better, the Leupold 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope emerges as a game-changer in the world of high-stakes shooting. This high-quality, matte black scope is engineered for those who demand durability, accuracy, and advanced technology in their optics.
Crafted with an illuminated first focal plane PR1-MIL reticle, the Mark 5HD ensures rapid target acquisition even in the dimmest conditions, making it an exceptional choice for hunters and target shooters alike. The reticle's illumination is night-vision compatible, offering micro-adjustable brightness settings that seamlessly integrate with modern night vision devices.
The scope's robust M5C3 dial system provides a remarkable 30-MILs of adjustment over three revolutions with precise 0.1 MIL clicks. Visual and tactile indicators prevent disorientation, while the ZeroLock feature safeguards against inadvertent adjustments, ensuring a reliable return to zero every time.
With its versatile 5:1 zoom ratio, the Mark 5HD offers a broad magnification range from 3.6x to 18x, allowing shooters to fine-tune their view for an optimal balance between magnification and field of view. Whether engaging close-quarter targets or dialing in for long-distance shots, this riflescope adapts to any scenario.
Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System is at the heart of the Mark 5HD, delivering unparalleled light transmission for peak performance in challenging lighting conditions. The Twilight Max HD Light Management System enhances this further, providing exceptional clarity, contrast, and resolution, while industry-leading glare reduction ensures a crisp image even under harsh sunlight.
Ergonomically designed for efficiency, the Mark 5HD features more tactile and audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, enabling shooters to make quick, on-the-fly adjustments. The side focus parallax adjustment refines the reticle's clarity at various distances, minimizing perceived movement for a steady aim.
Constructed with a lightweight aluminum housing, this riflescope is not only durable but also significantly lighter than its competitors, reducing fatigue during extended use in the field or at the range. It is 100% waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof, withstanding the rigors of extreme temperatures, elevation changes, and the recoil of high-caliber rifles.
Proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, the Leupold 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope stands as a testament to reliability and performance, ready to handle any challenge with unwavering precision. Whether you're a professional guide or a dedicated marksman, this riflescope is guaranteed to elevate your shooting experience to new heights.
