Rifle Scopes Lrhs vs Mark 5hd

[Baron85]

I am considering picking up a mark 5hd 3.5-18 tmr for a new hunting rifle. I have been using a bushnell lrhs and really like it. Is the mark 5hd a noticeable upgrade worth the cost difference? Or would I be better off just picking up another lrhs?

I have the option to pickup a 45% off leupold discount on trade to help even up the price difference.

If its worth the price difference is up to you. If you are going from a 3-12 you will give up quite a bit of FOV. The Mk5 has a zero lock, but I have never had my LRHS get spun off zero. The Mk5 is definitely a legitimate step up.

Step up in what aspect? I’m currently running a 4.5-18 lrhs. There really isn’t much I have complaints about. Probably my only thing I would like to improve would be an easier eye box, not that the lrhs is bad, and obviously I won’t complain about better glass, once again the lrhs isn’t bad.

I don't think the TMR reticle is an upgrade.

I probably wouldn't buy a scope to get something easier to get behind. If your gun is set up correctly that shouldn't be a big problem. The Mk5 should give better glass. IT has more internal adjustment and is a smaller scope overall, but about the same weight. I sold an LRHS and kept a MK5. I can't say I wont ever sell it and go back though. I like the TMR, the G3 of the G2H. They are probably three of my favorite.

If SFP is an option you may want to check out the EU Korean manufacture Forges we just put up on the site. The 2-16x50 may work here. You likely won't be able to beat the glass & features at the $639.99 price.

If you get the TreMor 3 Reticle it’s worth it, you won’t be disappointed.
