Leupold MK5HD vs mk6

[CTigers19]

What’s the general consensus between these two optics? Similar size, weight, magnification (3-18x). With the mk6, I would be going with the M5C2 turrets as I’ve heard the pinch ones have issues.

They’re about the same price, I like the mk6 has a 34mm tube. How’s the glass quality compare? How would these perform behind a clip on NVG?

The MK5 is an upgrade to the MK6. Both have their own sets of issues but the mK5 is very popular in the PRS world.

What common issues should I look for in the 5?

None, they kick ass. Every brand can have an issue or a dud but it’s not common. That’s what good customer service is for. Leupold customer service is great if you were to be in the minority.
