The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm delivers precision optics engineered for demanding applications where clarity and tracking consistency determine success. This first focal plane riflescope combines Leupold's proven optical technology with tactical features that perform across temperature extremes and heavy recoil platforms.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD series incorporates Leupold's proprietary lens coatings and ED glass elements to achieve 92% light transmission across the entire magnification range. The 35mm main tube provides 20% more internal adjustment range compared to standard 30mm tubes, while the CCH (Custom Coin Holdover) zero stop system allows precise return to zero without tools. First focal plane reticle scaling ensures accurate holdover calculations at any magnification setting.
Key Features
- 3.6-18x magnification range with 44mm objective lens for versatile engagement distances
- First focal plane PR2-MIL reticle with precise mil-based holdover references
- 35mm main tube construction providing 80 MOA elevation and 50 MOA windage adjustment
- Flat Dark Earth anodized finish for reduced glare and tactical applications
- Side focus parallax adjustment from 50 yards to infinity
- Locking target turrets with audible/tactile 0.1 mil clicks
- Waterproof to 1 meter depth and nitrogen purged for fog-proof performance
Field performance centers on the scope's ability to maintain zero through repeated thermal cycling and mechanical stress. The Mark 5HD tracks consistently across its full adjustment range, making it suitable for precision rifle competitions, tactical applications, and long-range hunting scenarios. The PR2-MIL reticle provides clean sight picture acquisition while offering precise ranging and holdover capabilities for targets beyond 600 yards.
