Those Mark 5 scopes are higher end. I don't know if they're really any good.
Not really higher end as all MK 5s suffer FFP reticles and are heavier than the equivalent VX 5.
SFP MK 5 are on the way but still bring weight for no gain.
I am willing to pay a bit more to the added zoom range of the VX6 but the reality is that Leupold's VX5 line up is the best value for dollar in high quality optics.
A 3.5-18X50mm VX5 would change my mind.

I have all the sources. They can't stop the signal.
