Overview
The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 is a precision rifle scope designed for long-range hunters and competitors who refuse to compromise on optical quality while demanding the lightest possible package. At just 26 oz with a 12.1 inch length, it's up to 20 ounces lighter than comparable scopes in its class - a significant advantage when carrying a rifle through rough terrain or competing in positional stages.
Built entirely in the USA with Leupold's Professional-Grade Optical System, the Mark 5HD delivers exceptional light transmission and industry-leading glare reduction for clear images even in challenging lighting conditions. The innovative 35mm tube diameter provides additional adjustment range while the 5:1 zoom ratio offers versatility from close targets at 3.6x to precision work at 18x.
The M5C3 turret system provides 30 MILs of elevation adjustment across three revolutions with distinct visual and tactile revolution indicators, while the ZeroLock system prevents accidental dial movement and ensures repeatable returns to zero. Whether you're shooting PRS matches or pursuing game at extended ranges, the Mark 5HD delivers the precision and reliability that has made Leupold a trusted name for over a century.
