Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm Illuminated Matte Black Scope

Introducing the Mark 5HD, a scope that exemplifies precision and performance in its design. At up to 20 ounces lighter than its contemporaries, this optic offers a noticeable advantage right from the moment you pick it up. Its construction focuses on delivering superior edge-to-edge clarity and exceptional low-light performance—qualities imperative for any serious marksman.

The heart of the Mark 5HD is its Combat Competition Hunter reticle, designed for versatility across various shooting disciplines. This front focal plane scope features an illuminated Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR), which enhances traditional Mil Dot designs by using hash marks instead of dots. These adjustments allow for increased ranging accuracy and precise hold-over calculations, essential when accounting for wind drift or bullet drop over distance.

The reticle's red illuminated center section ensures excellent contrast in dim lighting conditions, while hash marks are strategically spaced at .5 MILs apart—transitioning to .2 MIL spacing on the outer edges—to provide meticulous aiming points. As a non-caliber-specific tool designed primarily for maximum magnification use in rear or second focal plane scopes, this system aligns with current military standards.

Features such as three revolutions of elevation adjustment make full use of modern long-range rifles' capabilities alongside advanced ammunition types. The ergonomically structured controls include tactile audible click adjustments measured at precise 1/10th MIL increments; larger numbers aid swift setting changes even under pressure.
