The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm delivers precision optics engineered for long-range shooting applications where clarity and tracking accuracy determine success. This first focal plane riflescope combines Leupold's proven reliability with advanced optical technology to provide consistent performance across its entire magnification range.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD features Leupold's proprietary Guard-Ion lens coating that provides superior light transmission and scratch resistance compared to standard multi-coated optics. The 35mm main tube construction offers 25% more internal adjustment range than traditional 30mm tubes, while the M1C3 turret system provides tactile 0.1 MIL adjustments with zero-stop functionality. The first focal plane PR1-MOA reticle remains proportionally accurate at all magnification levels, eliminating holdover calculations.
Key Features
- 5-25x magnification range with 56mm objective lens for maximum light gathering
- First focal plane PR1-MOA reticle with precise holdover and windage references
- 35mm tube diameter provides 70 MOA elevation and 50 MOA windage adjustment
- M1C3 turrets with tactile clicks, zero-stop, and revolution indicator
- Guard-Ion lens coating delivers 92% light transmission
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 25 yards to infinity
- Aircraft-grade aluminum construction with matte black finish
Field performance demonstrates the Mark 5HD's capability across demanding shooting scenarios. Competition shooters benefit from the consistent tracking and clear glass at maximum magnification, while tactical applications leverage the robust construction and reliable zero retention. The scope maintains optical clarity in low-light conditions thanks to the large objective lens and premium coatings. Weather sealing prevents moisture intrusion during extended field use.
