Initial 100 rounds caused a blemish to appear in the reticle from debris that must of broken loose. Leupold CS took care of it in about a week from me mailing it to them and them returning it back to me. No big deal that it broke but I'm more than happy that they took care of it so easily. Since then the scope has been great. Image quality and eye box at 10x is much better than a 1-10 LPVO. Zoom is smooth without being too stiff or loose. Turrets seem solid with no shift. Illumination bright enough for the day should you need it. M5C3 Reticle is simple enough without being too busy in my opinion for carbine use.

Love Leopold been my one and only 15 plus years

Best but overpriced should come with sun shade caps everything and not have to buy them as accessories also reticle options are slim and no illumination options in 2026 scopes at half the price have twice the features come with all accessories even mounts Leopold is no longer the only players in the high end market in fact they are falling behind but their prices are not. good glass is good that's a fact but there is a lot more to it, having acquired 17 plus Leopold's over the years or around 20k worth of optics clearly my favorite for the last 15 plus years I've put my eye through a few other scopes lately at the range on other people builds that were half the price or less like 1/4 the price that make me feel like I've been wasting my money. it's sad but I'm being honest it making me feel a sort of way lately just going to have to split up like I'm in a bad marriage.

Better than my Vortex GEN III

Outstanding optic in all regards. I run this on one of my Masterpiece Arms and a Vortex GEN III 6-36 on the other. If I had looked through and used this scope before I bought the Vortex then both my Masterpiece Arms would have this scope on them. Hard to understand why people are paying a $1000 or more for the Vortex, especially since I am one of them.

5 Stars in all Regards

I cant say enough good things about this scope. It is premium in all regards. I know some people complain about no illuminated reticle but I run the Vortex GEN III 6-36x56 on my Masterpiece Arms Matrix Pro and never use the illumination so thats a zero deal for me. Put this on my wife's Ruger Precision Rifle . 338 LM and we both love everything about it. I wish I had known about it before spending the extra money on the Vortex.

This scope is a perfect 10 in all regards. Clearly the best glass of any of my other scopes. The problem now is I want it on all my long range rifles. Edge to Edge clarity all the way thru the furthest range out and light gathering excellent. Made in the U. S. A. nothing could be better.

-An excellent choice for an SPRish setup -glass clarity rivals NF -maintained zero for me out to 500 yards after a hard fall into the dirt -parallax and illumination are excellent and the reasons this is on my rifle instead of the ATACR 1-8x DMX -elevation adjustment can get you on target at 1000yd with 5. 56 without a 20moa mount

Outstanding feature set for NRL Hunter at a very light weight. Optical clarity is so good, I struggle to use other non-Leupold rifle scopes! I also purchased 2x Mark4HD scopes and they are also incredible optics.

Best glass I've ever used.

Best glass I've ever used. Tracks very well and has great eye relief. I was ringing steel at a mile and got very little mirage at extended ranges. Perfect reticle for long range shooting. . The dials were crisp and audible so it make for easy transitions between shots. Great scope. The 7-35 will be my next one for a 300 prc build.

About Leupold Mark 5HD

Because precision and performance are paramount, the 3.6-18x44 Mark 5HD Riflescope, bundled with the ALTA PRO 2+ 264AB 4-Section Aluminum Tripod, stands out as a top choice for serious shooters and hunters. This riflescope is engineered to be up to 20 ounces lighter than other scopes in its class, offering superior portability without compromising on quality. Experience unparalleled clarity with its edge-to-edge optical performance and exceptional low-light capabilities, making it ideal for diverse shooting conditions.

The Mark 5HD features the versatile Combat Competition Hunter reticle, designed for maximum adaptability. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, this scope is built to enhance the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition. Its ergonomic design includes tactile, audible click adjustments, larger numbers, and a high-speed throw lever, enabling faster and more accurate target acquisition.

Equipped with M5C3 ZeroLock Adjustments, the scope offers precise 1/10th MIL click windage and elevation adjustments. Its 100% waterproof and fogproof integrity ensures reliability in all weather conditions, thanks to the exclusive 2nd Generation Argon/Krypton waterproofing technology. This proprietary gas blend minimizes thermal shock effects and enhances gas retention better than traditional nitrogen technology.

The 35mm maintube provides extensive windage and elevation adjustment travel, while the 5:1 zoom ratio offers a broad field of view at low power and precise target identification at high power. Constructed from 6061-T6 aircraft-quality aluminum, the Mark 5HD is both durable and lightweight. The dial illumination control features positive clicks and clear numerical intensity level indicators, with off positions between each setting for quick return to preferred brightness.

Designed for dual use, all Leupold optics, including this model, deliver outstanding accuracy and legendary ruggedness, making them suitable for both hunting and tactical environments. The scope includes durable flip-open lens covers and a front focal plane (FFP) reticle, which magnifies along with the image for accurate range estimation at any magnification setting.

The generous eyebox allows for faster target acquisition, providing a full, clear sight picture even at higher powers. With side focus parallax adjustment, shooters can quickly and easily focus from any shooting position. The Twilight Max HD Light Management System ensures vivid, bright, and high-contrast images from dawn until dusk, resolving finer details at longer ranges.

The front focal Tremor 3 reticle, designed by Horus Vision, utilizes a MIL-based system with a grid style for precise aiming points, bullet drop compensation, and wind correction. It features centralized dots at crosshair intersections, chevron MIL markers, and rapid ranging marks, enhancing accuracy and follow-up shot placement. The open upper half of the reticle allows for observation and spotting, while numbered lines facilitate quick line identification.

This riflescope, paired with the ALTA PRO 2+ 264AB 4-Section Aluminum Tripod, offers a comprehensive solution for shooters seeking precision, reliability, and versatility in their equipment.
