More from this brandAll Leupold rifle scopesOverview
The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 is a first focal plane riflescope built on a 35mm tube with an M1C3 turret and PR2-MOA reticle in a matte finish.
Leupold markets its Professional-Grade Optical System around light transmission and glare reduction in harsh direct light, and the scope is designed, machined, and assembled in the USA. As a first focal plane scope, the reticle magnifies along with the image, so range estimation works at any zoom setting rather than just one.

Performance notes
The 3.6-18x zoom on a 44mm objective is paired with a 35mm main tube, and Leupold's glare reduction is aimed at keeping the image clear in harsh direct light rather than just low-light conditions. The scope is built waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof.
