Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10×30 (from $1,999.99)
The newest addition to the Leupold Mark 5HD line is the ultra-versatile 2-10×30 model. Featuring a 24mm objective lens and a 30mm maintube, this optic gives it an incredibly wide field of view that is ideal for mid-range hunting and tactical engagements. It also features Leupold’s renowned Twilight Max HD Light Management System that increases light transmission — making it far easier to identify targets in low-light conditions.
The Mark 5HD features its reticle in the First Focal Plane, enabling you to accurately range targets without having to adjust the magnification to a specific setting. The 2-10x has several different reticle choices, some of which are illuminated. Those illuminated reticles feature 11 adjustable brightness settings to make it easier to see said reticle at lower powers or when the sun starts to set on those early winter days. Like all Mark 5HD optics, the 2-10x features a nice, tactile power selector allowing for quick and magnification changes on the fly.
Leupold is known for their superior build quality, and the Mark 5HD is no exception with its lightweight construction and waterproof design. We think the new 2-10x is an excellent choice for shooters looking for a low-power variable optic that offers more mid-range performance than a large, heavy red dot disguised as a scope that’s used almost exclusively at 1x.
