PROFESSIONAL GRADE OPTICAL SYSTEM
Included in every Mark 5HD, is our top end Professional-Grade Optical System This system meets the needs of professional guides, competition shooters, and elite military personnel who rely on their gear 24/7. It offers unmatched image quality, glare reduction, and low-light performance to dominate in the most challenging conditions.
Available in Four Different Magnifications
2-10x30 — Created as an evolution of the riflescopes used on the MK12 SPR, this modern optic extends the limits of tactical carbines. A three-turn dial crowns its elevation turret, providing 34.9 MILs of adjustment in 0.1 MIL increments. This mid-range scope is as bomb-proof as it gets, but it’s also incredibly lightweight and accurate. With its first focal plane reticle, 2-10 magnification range, and side focus, engaging in close-quarters combat is just as easy as identifying threats from a distance.
3.6-18x44 — This compact scope punches above its weight. Coming in at only 26 ounces, it doesn’t take up much room, yet it still gives you enough power to be precise at a distance. Hunters find it makes a great option, and so do shooters looking to complete their DMRs or Recce rifles. Competitive shooters also turn to this model when they want to save weight for NRL Hunter matches or events where they have to carry their gear over long distances.
5-25x56 — At only 30 ounces, this scope delivers medium to long-range magnification without weighing you down. It’s a favorite among precision rifle competitors and shooters wanting to stretch the capabilities of their systems. But you can also find them atop hunting rifles when hunters want to go big.
7-35x56 — Only three ounces heavier than the 5-25x56mm and with the same form factor, the 7-35x56 hits you with a minimal weight penalty considering what you gain in magnification. Some precision rifle competitors prefer the extra power, especially for Extreme Long-Range (ELR) competitions which extend past 3,000 yards, or even precision rimfire shooting, where you need to see ridiculously small targets.
Color Meets Capability
Flat Dark Earth (FDE) is Leupold's latest twist on the award-winning Mark 5HD line of riflescopes. Whether you're out in the field or on the range, these riflescopes are designed to blend seamlessly with your environment, providing an edge in both style and performance. There will be Mark 5HD FDE models available in the 3.6-18x44, 5-25x56, and 7-35x56 magnification ranges with MIL or MOA adjustments and reticles both available.
Selecting the Right Reticle
Choosing the right reticle is about asking what job you’re trying to accomplish. For example, grid-style patterns might be great for long-range shooters, but hunters might find them too cluttered with information. You will also need to determine what unit of measure you would like to use, MIL or MOA. No matter which one you’re comfortable with, we’ve got you covered. All Mark 5HD models are available in both MOA and MIL configurations with several reticle options, like the popular PR-1 and PR-2.
