The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm delivers precision optics for long-range shooting applications where clarity and tracking reliability determine success. This first focal plane riflescope combines Leupold's proven optical engineering with tactical features demanded by competitive shooters and precision rifle enthusiasts.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD series represents Leupold's answer to tactical optics requiring both optical excellence and mechanical durability. Built around a 35mm main tube for enhanced light transmission and tracking precision, this scope delivers 0.1 MIL adjustments with audible clicks. The illuminated TMR reticle remains proportionally sized throughout the magnification range, providing consistent holdover references from 3.6x to 18x magnification.
Key Features
- First focal plane TMR reticle with 11 illumination settings plus off positions
- 35mm main tube construction for superior light transmission and tracking
- 3.6-18x magnification range with side focus parallax adjustment
- 0.1 MIL tactical turrets with audible and tactile click feedback
- 44mm objective lens with fully multi-coated Twilight Max HD optical system
- Matte black anodized finish with scratch-resistant coating
- Compatible with 35mm scope rings and Picatinny rail systems
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain zero through temperature changes and recoil cycles. The TMR reticle provides precise aiming points for wind and elevation holds without obscuring targets at maximum magnification. Waterproof construction handles weather extremes while the side focus adjustment eliminates parallax from 50 yards to infinity. The illumination system operates reliably in low-light conditions without creating visible signatures.
