I was on the fence

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. . . )

Very good eye relief, crystal

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.

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.

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.

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.
