The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm delivers precision optics engineered for long-range shooting applications where clarity and tracking accuracy determine success. This first focal plane riflescope combines advanced lens coatings with robust mechanical components to maintain zero under demanding field conditions.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD series features Leupold's proprietary lens system that transmits over 90% of available light while maintaining edge-to-edge clarity across the entire magnification range. The 35mm main tube provides 30% more internal adjustment range compared to standard 30mm tubes, allowing for extended long-range capability. Professional-grade turrets deliver consistent 0.25 MOA clicks with positive tactile feedback that remains reliable in extreme temperatures.
Key Features
- First focal plane CCH reticle scales proportionally with magnification for accurate holdovers at any power setting
- 35mm aircraft-grade aluminum tube maximizes internal adjustment travel and structural integrity
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity eliminates ranging errors
- Locking elevation turret prevents accidental adjustment during transport or field use
- Multi-coated lenses deliver exceptional light transmission and contrast in low-light conditions
- Waterproof construction rated to withstand complete submersion and extreme weather
- Fast-focus eyepiece accommodates individual diopter settings without tools
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain mechanical precision through temperature extremes and recoil stress. The tracking system holds zero consistently across the full adjustment range, critical for competitive shooting and tactical applications. Low-light performance excels during dawn and dusk hunting periods when game activity peaks. The reticle remains clearly defined against varied backgrounds without washing out in bright conditions.
