Of the scopes?
Ill try to post a pic on thurs or friOf the rifle. Although an optical comparison could be beneficial.
Awesome thanks!Yes. The illuminated TMR has a floating center dot, the NON-illuminated does not.
Can’t find too much on it, but last I saw was about a year ago the illuminated TMR had a floating center dot. Does it still have it in today’s mk5 3.6-18? Can’t tell from and reticle picture
It’s kinda buried like 3 layers deep on Leupold’s site, here you go:
Yes, but not bad enough to bother me, it ends up being a little past the hash mark.Got mine. 3.6-18 TMR. Does anyone else’s elevation turret lines not Line up exactly with the hash mark on the tube?

I love my 5-25! Amazing clarity and tracking has been spot on.
Get the 5-25 with the CCH reticle. You won’t need illumination. I’ve been running one for over a year in matches. Why a bunch of people don’t used them? Who knows, but everyone who’s ever spent time behind my Mk5s wants one.
A ton of people run Vortex, but I wouldn’t use one if you gave it to me. I’ve seen way too many Vortex products all across the line go down. I won a Vortex at a match this year and promptly traded it for a TBAC cert from a shooter 3 places behind me. I’m not saying NF, S&B, ZC or the like aren’t better than a Mk5, but the extra price isn’t worth the difference for me.
You'll be seeing more this year I'm sure. Lifetime warranty and the glass puts it up there with the rest I think I saw 3-4 guys using them in the Craig CO match. That's where I first saw them and decided I needed to upgrade.
Don’t bother with illumination on a PRS scope. I have an illuminated TMR on my hunting scope, but honestly I really don’t need it, because I can still see the reticle during legal light.
When they first came out, a lot of people complained about the 35mm tube. But there are plenty of 35mm ring and mount choices now.
i read somewhere that a few hundred of the cost for the 5HD is a premium for that Horus reticle you like. (i use an H59)Here is a value based question for those of you who have an opinion or experience with the Mark 5 HD 3-18 and the S&B 3-18 Ultra Short. I have the opportunity to purchase either for a new rifle. The Leupold is non illuminated with T3 (that's a good thing to me) for 3000 and the S&B has the MSR1 with illumination for 3600. Now that's in Australian dollars so to me the S&B feels like a good price (2500 usd) and the Leupold feels a bit expensive.
What's the view of the hide

Anyone run one these on a high recoil light weight hunting rig? I have a 7.8# braked 300 norma improved. I just broke an xtr III and I really liked everything about it. The mk5hd 3.6-18 seems to be equal in physical traits other than less fov. Will it stand up to big recoil/braked Magnums? I do a lot of long range hunting, long range target in prep for hunts.

How is this?You may not realize it, but a brake on a light weight high recoil rifle, is harder on optics than it would be without it.
