Long-range accuracy starts with optics that shave weight without sacrificing light transmission or repeatable adjustments. For precision shooters and professionals who demand fast, accurate follow-up shots at extended distances, scope selection directly affects rifle balance, wind call confidence, and target acquisition under low-light conditions.

LEUPOLD MARK 5HD blends reduced mass with premium glass and user-focused controls. It’s up to 20oz lighter than other scopes in its class, delivers superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance, and features three revolutions of elevation adjustment to max out the performance of modern long-range rifles and ammo. Ergonomically designed, it has tactile audible click adjustments, larger turret numbers for quick reference, and a high-speed throw lever for fast magnification changes. Priced at $2035.99, the LEUPOLD MARK 5HD is available in various models to suit different rifles and mission profiles. Shop this product

Optical performance and low-light advantage

The Mark 5HD optical system prioritizes edge-to-edge resolution, reducing distortion across the entire field of view so target detail remains sharp at higher magnification. That extreme low-light performance helps during dawn or dusk engagements where contrast and color fidelity matter. For shooters pushing ballistic limits, clear glass shortens the time required to confirm impact and make corrections.

Turrets, adjustment range, and ergonomics

Three full revolutions of elevation travel mean you can dial significant holdovers without losing precision; this is essential for shooters using high-BC bullets or shooting beyond 1,000 yards. The tactile, audible click adjustments give unambiguous feedback under stress or with gloves on, while the enlarged turret numbers speed reference checks. The high-speed throw lever lets you change magnification quickly when scanning or engaging nearer targets.

Why weight matters

Being up to 20 ounces lighter than competing scopes improves rifle handling, reduces fatigue in the field, and lowers the center of gravity on lighter chassis rigs—benefits that translate directly to steadier follow-ups and better overall accuracy.
