What size scope rings do I need for the Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm (Model 173301)?

This riflescope features an uncommon 35mm maintube diameter, meaning you will need specific 35mm scope rings to mount it securely. Standard 30mm or 34mm rings will not fit this model. Ensure you select rings that also account for the 53.3mm outer objective diameter to achieve proper clearance on your rifle.

Does this Leupold riflescope require Australian electrical safety certifications or a 240V plug?

No, the Leupold Mark 5HD is an optical device powered entirely by a single CR2032 coin-cell battery for the illuminated reticle. It does not connect to mains electricity, does not include a battery charger, and does not require a 240V power cord, AU wall plug, or SAA/RCM electrical safety certifications for use in Australia.

How does the M5C3 turret system function on this tactical riflescope?

The M5C3 ZeroLock tactile turrets provide precise 0.1 MRAD counter-clockwise (CCW) click adjustments with up to 3 revolutions of elevation travel. This allows for rapid and accurate dial-ups during long-range hunting or tactical competitions in demanding Australian outback conditions.

What is the battery life like for the illuminated TMR reticle, and does it feature auto-shutoff?

The illuminated First Focal Plane TMR reticle features Leupold's Motion Sensor Technology (MST), which automatically shuts off the illumination after 5 minutes of inactivity. It instantly wakes up the moment it detects movement, maximizing your CR2032 battery life during extended field use.

FFP Riflescope - Leupold Mark 5HD LE173301

The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44mm M5C3 Front Focal Plane (FFP) Illuminated TMR riflescope (MPN: 173301, Model: LE173301) delivers a highly engineered optical solution for shooters requiring precise mid-to-long-range targeting. Designed, machined, and assembled in the USA, this tactical scope features a 5:1 zoom ratio that transitions smoothly from 3.6x magnification up to 18x. Built around a robust 35mm maintube, it offers a wider range of elevation and windage adjustments than standard tubes. The scope is powered by a single CR2032 battery to run its integrated reticle illumination system. It does not require any mains electricity, 240V Australian power plugs, or external charging units, making it fully self-sufficient for remote field operations across Australia. Key Features:

Ultra-Lightweight Construction: Weighing only 26.0 ounces (737 grams), this scope is up to 20 ounces lighter than many comparable professional-grade tactical optics, improving rifle balance and reducing fatigue during long days in the field.
First Focal Plane (FFP) Illuminated TMR Reticle: The Tactical Milling Reticle scales with the magnification range, allowing for precise holdovers, windage corrections, and range estimation at any zoom level.
Motion Sensor Technology (MST): To preserve the CR2032 battery life, the illumination automatically deactivates after 5 minutes of inactivity and immediately reactivates when movement is detected.
M5C3 ZeroLock Turrets: Provides tactile, audible 0.1 MRAD counter-clockwise (CCW) click adjustments with up to 3 revolutions of elevation travel and a visual revolution indicator.
Professional-Grade Optical System: Engineered to provide advanced light transmission, glare reduction, and edge-to-edge image clarity in demanding low-light environments.
Integrated Throw Lever: Features a removable, reversible throw lever for rapid and positive magnification adjustments even while wearing gloves.

Technical Specifications:

Magnification Range: 3.6x - 18x
Objective Lens Diameter: 44 mm (Outer objective diameter: 53.3 mm)
Maintube Diameter: 35 mm (Note: This requires dedicated 35mm scope rings for mounting)
Physical Dimensions: Length of 12.1 inches (30.73 cm) and weight of 26.0 ounces (737 grams)
Eye Relief: 3.5 inches (89 mm) at low power to 3.8 inches (96.5 mm) at high power

Who It Is For: The Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 is designed for tactical competition shooters, Precision Rifle Series (PRS) competitors, and law enforcement professionals who require absolute tracking accuracy and repeatable optical performance. It is also highly suited for medium-to-long-range hunters in Australia who walk long distances over rugged terrain and need to keep their overall rifle setup as lightweight as possible without sacrificing low-light optical resolution or mechanical reliability.
