The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm delivers exceptional optical clarity and tracking precision for long-range shooting applications. This first focal plane riflescope features the proven TMR reticle system in a robust 35mm tube configuration built to withstand extreme conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD series incorporates Leupold's proprietary Guard-Ion lens coating and Twilight Max HD light management system, delivering 92% light transmission compared to 85-88% found in standard hunting scopes. The 35mm main tube provides 20% more internal adjustment range than traditional 30mm tubes, offering 80 MOA of elevation and windage travel. Professional-grade construction includes a one-piece aluminum tube machined from 6061-T6 aluminum with Type III hard anodizing.
Key Features
- 3.6-18x magnification range with 44mm objective lens for versatile shooting distances
