More from this brandAll Leupold rifle scopesOverview
The Leupold Mark 5HD 185073 is a 7-35x56mm front focal plane riflescope with a 35mm tube, M5C3 turret, and PR2-MIL reticle in a Dark Earth finish, designed, machined, and assembled in the USA for long-range precision shooting.
Because it is a front focal plane scope, the PR2-MIL reticle scales with magnification, so holdover and ranging marks stay accurate whether you are at 7x or 35x, unlike a second focal plane scope where those marks are only true at one power. There is no review history yet on this listing to weigh in on real-world glass clarity or turret repeatability, so treat Leupold's stated performance claims as manufacturer-sourced rather than independently confirmed.
- 7-35x56mm magnification range with 35mm tube
- Front focal plane PR2-MIL reticle, M5C3 turret
- Dark Earth finish, model 185073
- Waterproof, fogproof, shockproof; made and assembled in the USA
Who it's for
Long-range shooters and guides who need a wide magnification range and reticle-based ranging that holds true at any power. Less relevant to hunters who only need a compact, lower-power scope for closer shots.
Pros and cons
- Front focal plane reticle stays accurate for ranging at any magnification
- Wide 7-35x zoom range
- 56mm objective for light gathering
- Machined and assembled in the USA
- Large 56mm objective and 35x top end add size and weight versus a lower-power scope
Performance notes
As a front focal plane scope, the PR2-MIL reticle magnifies along with the target image, so range estimation and holdover marks stay accurate at any power setting from 7x to 35x, rather than only at one fixed magnification as with a second focal plane design. Leupold states the optical system is built to maintain clarity and reduce glare in harsh direct light, and rates the scope waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof.
