A poll of the Top 200 ranked participants on the Precision Rifle Series found that Leupold riflescopes were the number one choice among the tour’s best shooters.
One of the top rifle organizations in the world, the Precision Rifle Series (PRS) claims more than 6,000 active competitive shooters and is rapidly expanding–both in the United States and abroad.
Leupold Pro Shooter Morgun King attributes the brand’s place at the top to its award-winning Mark 5HD riflescope.
“My rifle and my scope have been through a lot over the past two years. They’ve rattled around in trucks going down dirt roads, they’ve gotten tossed around by baggage handlers, they’ve been out in the elements, and they’ve been slammed into rocks and barricades in competition,” King told the Precision Rifle Blog. “In that time my Mark 5HD has always held zero, always responded when I’ve dialed it up, and always delivered the crisp, clear image I need to compete. I can’t think of a better testament to the clarity, reliability, and ruggedness of that scope than its continued performance after what I put it through match after match, year after year.”
The Precision Rifle Blog’s poll found that many of the top PRS competitors are choosing either the 5-25×56 or 7-35×56 model of the Mark 5HD, with Leupold’s game-changing PR2-MIL reticle.
The Mark 5HD riflescope delivers superior edge-to-edge clarity and extreme low-light performance, while the versatility of its multiple reticle options will give you an unquestioned advantage. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD scope was built to max out the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammo. It features Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched image quality that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional shooters demand in the field and in competition.
Developed with input from the country’s top competitors and professional shooters, the PR2-MIL reticle that King and many Leupold Pro Shooters and unsponsored competitors alike use is specifically designed for long-range speed and precision. It provides shooters with a clean sight picture that’s free of the clutter you see with other Christmas tree designs, allowing for fast accuracy, hold-offs, and shot corrections.
“The Mark 5HD is the top riflescope among competitive shooters for one reason: That’s exactly what we designed it to be,” said John Snodgrass, Tactical Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “We worked with the nation’s top competitors during the design process, and the result is a scope that’s purpose-built to perform in competition–as well as on the battlefield or in the backcountry.”
The Mark 5HD is proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the United States and backed by Leupold’s legendary Full Lifetime Guarantee.
