Interesting thread.
I have tested two Mark 5 scopes in the last few years and both were very good (3.6-18x44 and 7-35x56). I have been quite critical of Leupold over the years, but their recent designs have been good and Mark 5 has really held up well. I know a lot of people who use them and there are very few problems.
My only real complaint is that they charge a lot for illumination. I really like to have illumination in FFP scopes.
