Leupold mk5 vs tract toric
- Thread starter Jarrett M

Leupold Parallax problems really suprised me. Was in a class and it really brought a shooter down. It was a MarkV and was causing a huge shift in POI. Instructors commented that it was not the first time this has happened and Leupold refuses to acknowledge the problem. Tracking was 100% IIRC.
OTOH, I asked what to get for a spotter and the universal response was "Leupold Mark iV" so their glass appears to be well respected.
Sample size of 1 however.

I've been very pleased with my Tract Toric
Tracts do have great glass, I have their binos. But their comparable scope weighs 34 oz

I have a tract 4-20 and it has always tracked very well. I’ve even accidentally dropped it from about 4 feet and hasn’t missed a beat. I have no comparison to a mark 5 though
I have a toric as well. Very solid scope. Never looked side by side with a Mark V, but doubt you’ll be disappointed.
I have both, they are both great scopes and wouldn’t hesitate buying either. Great glass on both but for my eyes I think the MK5 is notably better. Brightness on the MK5 is also better. Tracking quality identical on both. If I had to only chose one based on glass alone, MK5. Some of the things I don’t like about each:
MK5: limited to 3 revolutions on the turret. I have 60MOA built into the base and the mount and have a full three rotations of the turret but wish I could use the remaining elevation.
Toric: locking turrets are nice, but to lock the elevation after making an adjustment the turret has to be “massaged” to drop back down into the locked position. Nothing Wrong with the locking mechanism but it is noticeable and wish it was smoother.
