The Leupold Mark 5HD PR1-MIL riflescope, 3.6-18×44 with an illuminated first focal plane reticle, is a lightweight 35mm precision scope (Leupold part no. 180725). Leupold says the Mark 5HD is up to 20 ounces lighter than other scopes in its class, and it is designed, machined and assembled in the USA. Its 5:1 zoom range covers close targets and long reach, and M5C3 elevation dials give three revolutions of adjustment. At 12.1 inches long, it is a competition and long-range hunting optic that is built to take a beating.
