I like seeing reviews like this. I wish I hadn't hesitated and snagged a 3.6-18x44 Tremor 3 before Euro Optic sold out, now I'm waiting a few more weeks for them to come back in.
In stock at Lanbos. Add it to the cart for the price of $1689

Wow... the non illuminated TMR is going to be available at a price point that kind of boggles the mind, if that Tremor 3 models discount percentage is relative across all models.
Holy crap.
At 20% off MAP I could very realistically imagine myself with the 5-25x if it doesn’t tunnel and is mechanically sound.
It’s an amenable price point for sure. The reticle and illumination choices/surcharges are annoying from a consumer point of view though. I also wonder why no illuminated H59, but I can’t remember the last time I was able to use illumination successfully on any of my other scopes even the Razor.If this thing is even 80% of what it seems to be and can prove itself mechanically robust, yeah, you're not going to be alone.

I apologize for the stupid question )).
In a 3.6x18 leupy, the H59 reticle can be used for aiming at minimum magnification without illumination, or will it be too thin?
It's a bit iffy on 3x in a S&B, but on 4x it's easier to see. It's assumed that if you have the H59 on 3x, and want to take a shot, that the target is very close and very big so the likely hood of a miss is small. Also by that point you can use the top of the grid as a see through post type reticle. Then there's the how good are your eye's thing.
Just because 3x is on the mag dial you don't need to feel obligated to use it. Honestly the only time I use mine is for an occasional gaze, OH, that's what the reticle looks like on 3x moment, and when I shoot through my Oehler crono.
Bet it tracks nuts on lolz.
Whoever bought one, are you seeing a TMR reticle with a floating center dot? I'm hearing of one, but it would be a departure from the TMR I have in my Mark 4 scope and my Gold Ring spotter.
Is there a difference between the illuminated and non-illuminated TMR?

I noticed the mark v still has the leoupold "mushy clicks" thats the first thing guys complain about with the leupold tac scopes. i bought their attempt at the long range hunting market it was the vxiii lrp. bought it through optics planet without handeling one. got it home and had it back in the box on its way to the returns dept the same day. the thing was just bad.
I say that to say that it feels like leupold knows they have to evolve and throws out these half hearted attempts. the mark v i dont think is going to light any fires.

I have not handled a mark v.
I have not handled a mark v. i dont want sound like im saying they are bad at all. i have owned bad...with what other companys are doing though (with a lower retail price) leupold dosnt feel like the stand out gold standard that i grew up knowing
Looks like you have CA at 18x TBH. Artifact of the camera?
Great Pics! Thanks for the write up!
Yes indeed. Like I said, I can induce it if I move around the eyebox a lot, but centered up, I can’t see any. I couldn’t get it to completely go away with the camera, though. That picture was the best one; all the other ones had horrible purple and yellow mess all over them, hahaha. Trying to do too much with too many lenses, I guess. The scope is optimized for the lens system in your skull, and it seems to work just fine in that context.
brighter somehow even with its 44mm objective, and the eyebox was much more forgiving. I had to move very slightly behind the XRS to get the edges of the image clear, but with the Leupold, the whole thing looks good at once. The colors are also a bit warmer and more natural with the Leupold, whereas the XRS gives everything a cool tint. The contrast is fantastic as well. I could see detail in the tree bark even though it looked very dark against the snow.
I really REALLY wanted to buy into this line. But I just can't get past some of the photos showing a fair amount of CA, at least in comparison to the ATACR 4-16 and to a lesser degree the DMR line. Even if it's not as bad in person with real eyes on the scope, the fact that it doesn't show up in the ATACR photos but does in many if not all the photos of the Mark 5HD, is concerning (for me at least).
I want this scope to be a new start for Leupold's long range market to help spur competition and drive some prices down a bit.
But but all accounts so far, most everyone seems very happy with their new Leppys! That's a huge step in the right direction!
Do not tempt me! I wonder if Leupold is allowing these discounts to their dealers to encourage sales and get shooters on board, but how long will the discounts last is the question, will the price drop even further in six months, or will it go up?Mile High has 15% off all their Mark 5s right now, with all Tremor 3s and TMRs in stock (but not H59s or CCHs). Just sayin’...
...the TMR being a glorified mil dot...
I just would have rather seen something more along the lines of the MSR2 or what EOTech has with their new MD3 reticle, still simple but a little more usable.Yes, it is. But for my non-competition uses I really like it.
