[QUOTE="5RWill, post: 1547138, member: 98561"] The mark 8 arguably best the 5-25 ATACR. Most would consider it equal to a PMII, it's just overpriced with no decent reticles and decent turrets at best. They're back though other than reticles for the price there is little to not like about the Mark 5. I had it side by side with an ATACR, a recent one at that because it was a Mil-C variant. As far as glass goes i'd give contrast to the ATACR, CA control to the ATACR, but resolution and edge to edge clarity it's a wash. They might as well be equal in that regard. There are other things that lend to the ATACR as well, i liked the turret, parallax, and eyebox better. But judging it solely on optical performance Leupold offers a ton of value for the money. Lowlight performance is also wonderful. Pretty much just like i said for NF so many times (until the Mil-XT was announced) if Leupold can put a proper reticle in that lineup i'm going to have quiet a few of them. I might come off as pro Leupold but i truthfully love the MK5 series and this is coming from someone who ranks the Mark 6 as the worst high end optic he's ever bought. I to this day hate that optic.
