Overview
The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm riflescope is engineered for demanding operational environments and precision applications. Its design prioritizes practical utility, weighing up to 20 ounces less than comparable optics, a significant advantage for maneuverability in the field or during competitive engagements. This tactical optic is optimized for clear target identification and repeatable adjustment tracking, critical for consistent performance.
The integrated optical system ensures effective light transmission, preserving image clarity across diverse light environments. Advanced glare reduction technology maintains a clear sight picture even under direct illumination. Resolution and clarity are maintained consistently throughout the magnification range, directly supporting the exacting requirements of serious precision rifle shooters.
Key Features
Operational Control
- Ergonomic Adjustments: Tactile and audible click adjustments provide positive haptic feedback, minimizing deviation during adjustments. Larger, high-contrast numbers on the adjustment dials facilitate rapid and unambiguous setting changes under pressure.
- Rapid Magnification Control: An integrated high-speed throw lever permits swift, decisive magnification transitions, allowing the operator to adapt quickly to evolving target distances or situational requirements.
- M5C3 Elevation Adjustment: This system provides precise vertical control, engineered for maintaining exact point-of-impact corrections across extended engagement ranges.
Retention and Awareness
- ZeroLock & Zero Stop: The ZeroLock system securely fixes the turret position at the established zero, while the Zero Stop mechanism physically prevents accidental rotation below this point, ensuring immediate return to baseline. This mitigates errors during rapid adjustments.
- Revolution Indicator: An intuitive revolution indicator tracks full turret rotations, providing comprehensive positional awareness and preventing lost adjustments during complex firing solutions.
Reticle and Illumination
- Illuminated FFP Tremor 3 Reticle: The First Focal Plane (FFP) Tremor 3 reticle ensures all holdovers and ranging references remain accurate across the entire magnification spectrum. Its illumination is compatible with night vision systems, extending operational capability into low-light conditions.
- Motion Sensor Technology (MST): This intelligent system dynamically extends battery life by automatically deactivating the reticle illumination after periods of inactivity. Illumination reactivates instantly upon motion detection.
