Leupold Mark 3HD 3-9x40 30 mm P5 MilDot spotting scope

The Leupold Mark 3HD 3-9x40 30 P5 MilDot 30mm is a top-tier optical sight designed to meet the needs of both hunters and sport shooters. This premium scope offers a range of features, including the Elite Optical System, HD optics, a MilDot target reticle, and a CDS-compatible P5 riser turret.

One of the standout features of the Mark 3HD series is the Elite Optical System, which provides unrivaled brightness even in challenging conditions. The system enhances twilight efficiency, ensuring optimal image brightness in low-light environments for approximately 30 minutes. It effectively eliminates image blur and stray light reflections, resulting in edge-to-edge sharpness and enhanced image depth and contrast.

For long-range shooting, the optional Custom Dial barrel system is a game-changer. It eliminates the need for applying aiming point corrections by accounting for distance, gravity, and wind effects, simplifying the shooting process.

The Mark 3HD scope boasts a lightweight and durable design that evenly disperses recoil energy. Leupold's Punisher durability tests subject the scopes to rigorous testing on the Punisher simulation machine, where they undergo 5000 recoil tests. This machine generates shocks with three times the energy of the recoil from a .308 rifle, ensuring the scope's resilience and reliability.

Featuring a 30mm tube, this scope provides an extended range of aiming reticle adjustment, offering shooters greater flexibility in their targeting. The Fast Focus feature allows for quick and effortless magnification changes with an enlarged pin, enabling shooters to adapt swiftly to different scenarios.

Constructed with ruggedness in mind, the Mark 3HD scope's sealed tube is 100% resistant to internal evaporation and withstands various weather conditions, ensuring consistent performance over time. Additionally, it features a secondary sighting reticle, providing universal usability for different shooting applications.

With an impressive 125 MOA adjustment range, the Mark 3HD scope offers increased versatility for precise adjustments. It incorporates modern technologies to deliver exceptional performance and reliability.

The Leupold Mark 3HD 3-9x40 30mm is a versatile tactical scope, measuring 322mm in length and weighing 425g. It is suitable for use on both hunting rifles and semi-automatic rifles, making it a versatile option for different shooting disciplines.

The scope's aluminum (6061-T6) tube with a 30mm diameter provides a significantly greater range of aiming reticle adjustment compared to the inch version. Vertically and horizontally, it offers 125 MOA/15 MRAD of adjustment, enhancing the shooter's ability to fine-tune their aim. The eyepiece features a moleskin ring with a twist-off pin, allowing for quick and convenient magnification changes.

To ensure optimal performance, the scope's tube is filled with dry nitrogen gas, eliminating the effects of thermal shock, reducing gas diffusion inside the scope, and preventing internal lens evaporation.

The Mark 3HD scope endures extensive testing on the Punisher simulation machine, which subjects it to 5,000 recoil endurance tests. This machine generates shocks with three times the energy of the recoil from a .308 rifle, ensuring the scope's durability and reliability in real-world shooting scenarios.

Delivering a bright and clear image is a priority for Leupold, and the Mark 3HD scope excels in this regard. The optics utilize high-resolution calcium fluoride lenses, guaranteeing exceptional image clarity and sharpness at all magnification levels. The lenses are coated with a durable layer, effectively protecting against scratches and minimizing the build-up of water, dirt, and fingerprints.

With high brightness, 3× magnification, and a field of view ranging from 11.23 to 4.52 at 100m, the Mark 3HD scope enables comfortable observation and shooting in challenging lighting conditions.

Equipped with the popular Mil-Dot sighting reticle, expressed in MRAD, this scope provides precise aiming capabilities. The crosshairs have thick beams that transition to a hairline crosshair (0.06 MRAD thick) in the central part, with dotted graduations every 1 MRAD. The low-profile CDS-compatible P5 knob allows for easy and precise adjustment of the plumb line, even while wearing shooting gloves.
