Leupold Adds Flat Dark Earth Models to Award – Winning Mark 5HD Line of Riflescopes

BEAVERTON, Ore. — Leupold & Stevens, Inc., provider of the world’s most rugged, lightweight, and clear sport optics, is pleased to announce the addition of Flat Dark Earth (FDE) models to its award-winning Mark 5HD line of riflescopes.

There will be FDE Mark 5HD’s available in the scope family’s 3.6-18×44, 5-25×56, and 7-35×56 magnification ranges. MIL or MOA adjustments and reticles are available.

“The Mark 5HD has delivered incredible performance since the day it was launched–in the field, on the firing line, and beyond,” said John Snodgrass, Tactical Product Line Manager for Leupold & Stevens, Inc. “One thing we heard the call for was an FDE finish. At Leupold, we listen, and we deliver. We’re happy to bring consumers FDE options this year.”

Pick up a Mark 5HD and you’ll feel the difference. The scope redefines accuracy, precision, and optical performance for long-range shooters. Pick one up and you’ll feel the difference: it’s up to 20 ounces lighter than other scopes in its class. Get behind one and you’ll see the difference, from its superior edge-to-edge clarity to its extreme low-light performance. With three revolutions of elevation adjustment, the Mark 5HD was made to max out the performance of the latest long-range rifles and ammunition. It features Leupold’s Professional-Grade Optical System, which offers unmatched light transmission that’s designed to outperform in the most challenging lighting conditions, industry-leading glare reduction for a clear image in harsh, direct light, and the resolution and clarity that professional guides and shooters demand in the field.

Several of the new Mark 5HD FDE models will feature Leupold’s wildly successful PR2-MIL reticle. The PR2-MIL reticle was developed with input from the country’s top competitors and professional shooters. PR2 reticles are specifically designed for long range speed and precision.

The Mark 5HD is waterproof, fogproof, shockproof, and guaranteed to perform for life. Like all Leupold riflescopes, it is proudly designed, machined, and assembled in the company’s Beaverton, Ore., factory.
