While it\u2019s fairly popular in Europe and we\u2019re starting to see it on more scopes in the U.S. as well, it\u2019s still a bit annoying in that it limits the number of available rings and mounts since it\u2019s still a bit of a \u201cniche\u201d size domestically. Your options are more limited and they tend to cost more (as of when this article was published,  compared to 109, 34mm ones and 208, 30mm ones).<\/p>\n<p>I have two sets of nice rings for using this scope on bolt guns, and I have one cantilever AR-height mount for using it on semi-autos like AR-10s. So I\u2019m covered for effectively any gun I want to throw the Mark 5HD onto, which is a lot of them because it\u2019s a really useful optic.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543917 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-700x468.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1536x1027.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-2048x1369.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-696x465.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1068x714.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1920x1283.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-628x420.jpeg 628w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-560x374.jpeg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-scaled.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543917 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-700x468.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1536x1027.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-2048x1369.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-696x465.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1068x714.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-1920x1283.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-628x420.jpeg 628w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153615-01-560x374.jpeg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>As you\u2019d expect from the higher-end Leupold lines, the glass in the Mark 5HD is simply fantastic. It\u2019s super-clear, bright and crisp, with great color clarity and light transmission. It gathers and passes light beautifully, so if there\u2019s enough light for you to make out a target with your bare eyes in the darkest dusk or earliest dawn you\u2019ll be able to pick it up through the Mark 5HD, as well.<\/p>\n<p>I admit I haven\u2019t intentionally torture tested it. I have shot quite a lot of rounds through the compact little Leupy, though, including some heavy hitters like 375 Raptor firing 270 grain slugs at 2,200 FPS through a 5.4-lb <a href=\"https:\/\/blackcollararms.com\/product-category\/complete-guns\/custom-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pork Sword<\/a>. It banged around in the back of a side-by-side on two ranch trips, once on the  that\u2019s seen in a number of these photos and once on a <a href=\"https:\/\/blackcollararms.com\/product-category\/complete-guns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Black Collar Arms Pork Sword Rifle<\/span><\/a> pictured here, too. I may have dropped it on the floor, but let\u2019s not talk about that.<\/p>\n<p>It still tracks correctly. I\u2019ve successfully re-zeroed it on a bunch of different guns and shot it out to 600 yards. Given Leupold\u2019s stated design purpose for this optic as a \u201cprofessional-grade\u201d scope intended for military SPR use, I\u2019m going to go ahead and feel confident that it\u2019ll hold up over a lifetime of ranch duty, hunting trips, and much more demanding use.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543902 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-700x468.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1536x1027.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-2048x1369.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-696x465.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1068x714.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1920x1283.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-628x420.jpeg 628w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-560x374.jpeg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-scaled.jpeg\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543902 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-scaled.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1711\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-scaled.jpeg 2560w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-700x468.jpeg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-768x513.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1536x1027.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-2048x1369.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-150x100.jpeg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-696x465.jpeg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1068x714.jpeg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-1920x1283.jpeg 1920w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-628x420.jpeg 628w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/20230419153644-01-560x374.jpeg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re in the market for a do-it-all kind of a scope, a really high quality, robust LPVO is very hard to beat.
