Perfect holdover & windage points without more clutter than needed. Love the fine dot better than the open reticle. Better clarity & brightness than my NF ATACR.

Editor: Leupold produces TWO (2) version of the Mark 5HD 7-35x56mm scope. We reviewed the SECOND Focal Plane Version. There is also a FIRST Focal Plane version with seven (7) different reticle choices. Here is a link to the first focal plane version:

And here are the FFP Reticle options. Most are rather complex, with hold-off points:

This new scope would be great for midrange and steel matches when you have to change distances between targets.

Leupold is one of the great American industries along with so many others who produce world-class products.
I hope the high standard continues and the US industry does not succumb to cheap and nasty as so many others have.
If it is worth doing then it is worth doing well – and then some.

Also, tired of all the Hollywood reticles. They should cover at least the basics with a med-fine crosshair option.
Another thing that should be validated and mentioned is that Leupolds are of few scopes that actually adjust 1.047IPHY per MOA.

I would like to see 45x – 55x.
