The Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 M5C3 FFP TMR Riflescope (Model: 179702) represents a modern, lightweight evolution of the classic military optics historically utilized on the MK12 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR). Engineered for professional-grade performance, this mid-range tactical riflescope delivers high-definition optical clarity, robust durability, and precise tracking. Built around a 35 mm main tube, it offers the structural integrity required for demanding field conditions while maintaining a highly compact profile. With its first focal plane tactical milling reticle and tactile adjustment turrets, this optic provides shooters with reliable accuracy across varying distances.

Key Features:

• Professional-Grade Optical System: Engineered to provide elite-level light transmission, superior glare reduction in harsh daylight, and edge-to-edge image clarity for positive target identification.
• M5C3 ZeroLock Turrets: Features a tactile, three-turn elevation dial with 0.1 MRAD click adjustments. The turret locks automatically at zero to prevent accidental adjustments while traversing rough terrain.
• First Focal Plane (FFP) TMR Reticle: The non-illuminated Tactical Milling Reticle (TMR) scales with the 2x to 10x magnification, ensuring accurate range estimation, windage corrections, and holdovers at any zoom level.
• Rugged, Lightweight Construction: Crafted from aircraft-grade aluminum, this scope weighs only 24 ounces (approximately 680 grams) and is fully waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof.
• No Batteries Required: As a non-illuminated model, this optic does not require batteries or external charging systems, making it highly reliable for extended field use in remote Australian environments without the need for electrical safety certifications.

Who It Is For:

The Leupold Mark 5HD 2-10x30 is designed for tactical shooters, designated marksman rifle (DMR) builders, and hunters seeking a versatile, mid-range optical solution. Its 2x low-end magnification allows for rapid, both-eyes-open target acquisition in close-quarters scenarios, while the 10x high-end magnification is ideal for precise mid-range engagements. Australian shooters configuring tactical carbines or lightweight hunting setups will appreciate the scope's rugged build and battery-free reliability. Please note that because this scope features a 35 mm main tube diameter, which is less common than standard sizes, it requires specialized 35 mm mounting rings to secure it to your rifle's receiver or rail system.
