The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56 M5C3 FFP Tremor 3 - FDE (Model: LE185072, MPN: 185072) is a professional-grade, long-range tactical riflescope designed to deliver high-contrast imaging and precise mechanical repeatability. Finished in a durable Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coating, this optic features a robust 35mm maintube and a large 56mm objective lens that maximizes light transmission in low-light environments. Weighing only 30 ounces (approximately 850 grams), it is significantly lighter than other premium riflescopes in its exact optical category, minimizing the physical load during mobile operations or backcountry hunting. This first focal plane (FFP) optic utilizes tactile M5C3 ZeroLock turrets paired with the non-illuminated Horus Vision Tremor 3 reticle, allowing for rapid and accurate long-range target engagement.

Key Features of the Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56 FDE:

• Significant Weight Advantage: At approximately 30 ounces, this scope reduces overall rifle system weight, helping to prevent physical fatigue during prolonged field carry.
• M5C3 ZeroLock Turrets: These low-profile, tactile dial turrets provide 0.1 Mil Rad adjustments and offer three full revolutions of elevation travel. The integrated push-button lock prevents accidental movement when traversing rough terrain.
• First Focal Plane Tremor 3 Reticle: The mil-based Horus grid reticle scales with the magnification range (5x to 25x), enabling highly accurate windage holdovers, elevation corrections, and range estimation without needing to dial the turrets.
• Professional-Grade Optical System: Engineered to provide elite glare reduction, edge-to-edge clarity, and high light transmission to resolve targets clearly at extreme distances.
• Rugged Build Quality: Crafted from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, the maintube is fully waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof to handle heavy recoil and harsh weather conditions.

Who It Is For:

The Leupold Mark 5HD 5-25x56 is built for precision rifle competitors (such as PRS and ELR shooters), tactical law enforcement marksmen, and extreme long-range hunters who require a highly durable, lightweight optic. Its design benefits shooters who rely on first focal plane grid reticles for rapid wind holdovers and elevation adjustments under time constraints.

Australian Compliance and Regulatory Information:
