More from this brandAll Leupold rifle scopesOverview
The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56mm is a front focal plane riflescope with an M1C3 turret system, built and assembled in the USA for long range precision rifles. It targets shooters pairing high powered rifles like a 300 PRC or 7mm PRC with a scope meant to hold zero through recoil.
The front focal plane reticle scales with magnification, so range estimation marks stay accurate whether you are at 5x or 25x. M1C3 turrets give 71.5 MOA of travel across three revolutions with tactile indicators to track position.

Pros and cons
- Front focal plane reticle scales correctly at any power
- Lightest scope among 34mm/35mm tube options per Leupold
- USA-made with Leupold's waterproof, fogproof coverage
- 71.5 MOA of turret travel across three revolutions
- Premium price typical of Leupold's Mark 5HD line
- 34mm tube needs compatible rings, not standard 30mm
Performance notes
Because the M1C3 reticle sits in the front focal plane, its markings scale with magnification, so holdover and windage references stay correct from 5x through 25x rather than only at one fixed power. The turret provides 71.5 MOA of adjustment across three revolutions, with visual and tactile markers meant to prevent losing track of which revolution you are on mid-adjustment. Leupold builds and assembles the scope in the USA and backs it with the company's standard waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof coverage.
