Adjustments are positive, and clicks are easy to feel. Each click moves the reticle by 0.1 mils. My favorite feature of the turret is Leupold&#8217;s ZeroLock\u00ae system. This eliminates accidental dial movement by locking the turret in place wherever the zero is set. Simply push the button and twist it to dial in elevation, or quickly dial back down to zero where the spring-loaded button will push back out locking it back in place. I find this system neat, intuitive, and effective. The windage adjustment is capped as well to avoid unwanted adjustments in the field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Push button for unlocking the turret sitting top center of the elevation cap\" class=\"wp-image-195297\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0120.jpg 1524w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Push the button for unlocking the turret sitting top center of the elevation cap<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This scope also features a ZeroStop system which creates a backstop when returning the dial to zero, so you don&#8217;t accidently turn the dial a full revolution in the wrong direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While we are still talking about the turrets, I need to mention that the windage zero etching makes zero sense to me. While the elevation turret etchings are easy to use, the windage adjustments utilize a line that is not perpendicular to the turret. This makes it hard to see what it is pointing at and to determine if the scope is dialed properly. My only other complaint is that Leupold used 10.5mils of adjustment per revolution on the elevation turret. I can tell they offset this on purpose, but I would have preferred a perfect 10mils so only 0-10 would have needed to be engraved instead of 0-30.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" class=\"wp-image-195298\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0121.jpg 1188w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Leupold, why is the windage mark not perpendicular to the turret?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-tracking\">Tracking<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When using scopes between 2-10 power I usually just use the reticle to hold over for shots instead of trying to dial them. However, dialing can help with precision, and making quicker follow-up shots at a distance. For these reasons, consumers need these elevation and windage turrets to track properly. To test how well these work, I mounted and zeroed a laser to the center of the reticle, then dialed up 10 mils. As seen in the picture below, the laser moved exactly 10 mils down. I also did this for windage without an issue. I proceeded to prove this again by shooting groups on paper at 50 yards, then dialing up, shooting again, and the group aligned perfectly on the reticle with what I dialed for. Altogether, this proves the machined steps for turret adjustments align with the etched reticle which is essential for making precise shots at a distance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-parallax\">Parallax<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The parallax adjustment for the Mark 5HD 2-10 is fairly standard. It features etchings from 75 &#8211; infinity and beyond. The adjustment is slightly firm yet smooth, and the cap has grooves to offer an easy surface to grab onto. Leupold offers an illuminated reticle, however, this model does not have this feature. If it did, this turret would feature brightness adjustments and a battery cap as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Parallax adjustment from 75 - \u221e\" class=\"wp-image-195296\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9843.jpg 1469w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Parallax adjustment from 75 &#8211; \u221e<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-mark-5hd-magnification-and-clarity\">Mark 5HD Magnification and Clarity<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing a magnification range from 2-10x, the Mark 5HD 2-10 is very versatile. At the low end, it is easy to pick up and shoot quickly since the eye box is forgiving, while the high end allowed me to shoot out to 500 yards with ease. The scope comes with a low-profile throw lever which works perfectly. It stays out of the way when not needed, yet provides more than enough protruding surface to grab and adjust quickly when needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Low profile throw lever\" class=\"wp-image-195294\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9842.jpg 1515w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Low-profile throw lever<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Built around Leupold\u2019s Professional-Grade Optical System, the Mark 5HD offers great light transmission. While using this scope, I saw no noticeable distortion, with true edge-to-edge clarity. This remained true at any magnification. Leupold also features a glare reduction coating which helps provide a clear image even in direct light.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-reticle\">Reticle<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When it comes to reticles, they can make or break a whole optic for me. The Mark 5HD 2-10 that I had for this review featured the Front Focal Plane TMR or Tactical Milling Reticle. I am a fan of MIL reticles over MOA ones, but this is just a personal preference and either works great with training. I am also a huge supporter of front focal plane or FFP reticles. This means that as you zoom in with the scope, the reticle looks like it is getting larger. While the reticle changes with magnifications, your holds do not. This allows for accurate shooting using the reticle at any magnification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>READ MORE: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/leupold-mk-5hd-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"review-testing-the-leupold-mark-5hd-2-10x30-ffp-rifle-scope\" title=\"Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Leupold Mark 5HD Review with Tracking Test<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 TMR reticle\" class=\"wp-image-195295\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-400x267.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-9844.jpg 1768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10&#215;30 TMR reticle<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The reticle uses hash marks spaced 0.5 MIL apart, transitioning to 0.2 MIL spacing on the outer edges. The center of the crosshairs is also open which allows the user to see the fine point they are aiming at. 10 MILs from the center, the lines get thicker which helps when trying to see the reticle on low power when shooting quickly. The illuminated reticle would be the ideal choice for close-quarters situations, and it runs about $500 more than the non-illuminated version I had for this review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-field-testing\">Field Testing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Throughout my testing, I never ran into any issues with the performance of the Mark 5HD 2-10. I have shot hundreds of rounds with it, with a good spread between burning it down with close targets and stretching it out to 500 yards. It always held zero, and the clarity made it easy to see everything I was glassing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The housing is tough, and the turrets worked great. The reticle is fine, but in my opinion, it could use some work. I wish it had more labels to quickly reference for elevation holds as they are only numbered in increments of 10. This took me some time to count the marks when shooting at a distance. Also, I can&#8217;t get over the windage zero mark. Not sure why that isn&#8217;t perpendicular to the turret as it is hard to line up. For this reason, I would not recommend dialing for windage anytime except for zeroing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1503\" height=\"1001\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited.jpg\" alt=\"Shooting out to 500 yards with the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10\" class=\"wp-image-195299\" title=\"3 - Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited.jpg 1503w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited-400x266.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited-150x100.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/IMG-0005-edited-768x511.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1503px) 100vw, 1503px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Shooting out to 500 yards with the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-summary-of-the-mark-5hd-2-10\">Summary of the Mark 5HD 2-10<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Utilizing a turret lock, low profile throw lever, durable housing, and great glass, the Leupold meets its mark with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leupold.com\/mark-5hd-2-10x30-m5c3-ffp-tmr\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"review-testing-the-leupold-mark-5hd-2-10x30-ffp-rifle-scope\" title=\"Review: Testing the Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 FFP Rifle Scope\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Mark 5HD 2-10<\/a> by &#8220;extending the limits of tactical carbines.&#8221; This scope never gave me any issues throughout my testing, and I was able to easily engage steel targets out to 500 yards. While the reticle may not be a personal favorite, the overall quality, made-in-USA craftsmanship, and a price point starting at $1,999 for both MIL and MOA options (with an illuminated reticle option priced at $2,499) make the Mark 5HD 2-10&#215;30 a solid contender for your carbine setup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to read an additional review there&#8217;s a good one over at The Firearm Blog
