Oregon factory And like every Leupold® riflescope, the Mark 3HD was designed, machined, and assembled in our Oregon factory.

Leupold riflescopes are all designed, machined, and assembled in our Beaverton Oregon manufacturing facility. We do not have any other riflescope manufacturing facilities or offices anywhere in the world.

Oregon Not only does Leupold produce its optical and mechanical designs in the U.S., they also build the Mark 5HD in its entirety in Oregon. The only part of the Mark 5HD that Leupold doesn't make in Oregon are the glass lenses. They set the specifications and then check each one as the scope is assembled.

300 yards The answer is really simple: a 3-9X riflescope provides an additional level of magnification for every 100 feet, all the way out to 300 yards (900 feet). For many years, 300 yards was about the limit of what most big-game hunters considered to be an ethical shooting distance.

Glass Clarity & Reticle The clarity of this scope is pretty good. It's crisp, clear, and bright. It won't be as clear as a WaWa Zeiss or Leupold, but it's better than what you get with a Bushnell or Sightron. The reticle is not illuminated, but the 40mm objective lens brings in plenty of light.

A 3-9 scope allows you get a good sighting out to a couple hundred yards. If your primary range is greater, you might want a more powerful scope. In most cases a it will suffice for deer hunting, so a hunting rifle in your caliber of choice, or for targets it would work well on a .

You can shoot out to 1,000 yards just fine with a 3-9x40 if it has good turrets and decent optical quality, so it's tough to pick just one perfect magnification range for long-range shooting because everyone will have their own preferences.
