The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm delivers precision long-range performance in a compact tactical package. This first focal plane riflescope combines Leupold's proven HD optical system with a robust 35mm main tube for superior tracking and durability. The Flat Dark Earth finish provides effective camouflage while the PR1-MOA reticle offers precise holdover references for extended range engagements.
What Makes This Different
The Mark 5HD series represents Leupold's commitment to reducing size and weight without sacrificing optical quality or mechanical reliability. At just 30 ounces, this scope weighs significantly less than comparable 56mm objective scopes from other manufacturers. The proprietary HD lens system delivers 92% light transmission while the Guard-Ion lens coating resists scratches and repels water more effectively than standard multi-coated lenses.
