This is an EX-MOD optic - these units have seen real-world use as part of the Sharpshooter II L129A2 platform. The L129A2 “Sharpshooter II” was rolled out across the British Army to various units, and this scope carries that operational pedigree into civilian hands.
The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 Tremor 3 riflescope delivers professional-grade precision, clarity, and durability in a compact, lightweight design. Built in the USA, it offers a 5:1 zoom ratio with magnification from 3.6× to 18×, ideal for both wide-area scanning and long-range precision. The First Focal Plane Tremor 3 reticle provides consistent hold-over and hold-off accuracy across the zoom range, with a floating center dot and ranging tree for rapid target acquisition.
The red LED illumination system features seven daylight-bright and four night-vision–compatible settings, while Motion Sensor Technology™ conserves battery life by powering down when idle and reactivating instantly with movement. The M5C3 ZeroLock® turret system offers precise 0.1 mrad-per-click adjustments, ZeroStop™ return-to-zero, and a low-profile capped windage turret, ensuring fast, repeatable corrections.
Constructed from CNC-machined 6061-T6 aluminum with a 35 mm main tube and hard-coat anodized finish, the Mark 5HD is IPX7 waterproof, nitrogen-purged, and tested to endure .50 BMG recoil. Its extra-low dispersion glass and fully multi-coated lenses deliver exceptional brightness, resolution, and contrast, enhanced by Leupold’s Xtended Twilight® System for superior low-light performance.
Offering extended eye relief (3.54″–3.82″) and weighing just 26 oz, the Mark 5HD provides comfort, balance, and handling that outperforms heavier scopes. Combining cutting-edge optics, rugged reliability, and tactical precision, it’s built to exceed expectations in the field or on the range.
