Well this post just cost me a bit of dough. It got me looking at the Leica Amplus 2.5-15x50. I have never really considered Leica scopes before but they look pretty impressive so one is now speeding its way to my place. Can't wait to give it try.

Great !
Let us know how you find it.
Dont drop the thing onto soft padded ground just for our benefit but it would be interesting to hear:
Resolution on a test chart compared to another scope.
Adjustment across say 20” at 100m.
Zero holding at different magnifications.
Eyebox quick useability at low power.
Reticle visibility in low light.
Stability of zero over two or three hunts ( no need to do the 3000 round test for us).
:)
It will be going on a Tikka 6.5CM which is currently wearing a V4 Zeiss 4-16, I love that scope and swore it would never come off that rifle so I reckon the Leica has some big shoes to fill. Anyway tinkering with gear is part of the fun for me. I have never owned a Leica scope but I do have a Leica range finder which has brilliant optics and have had the pleasure of trying out a pair of leica range finding binoculars which were also fantastic.Quote:

I have that same scope on my T3x 243. On low power at dawn/dusk it has better visibility than any of my Leupolds and Zeiss scopes. So mch so that I am saving up for another one for my T3 Super Varmint in 22-250.Quote:
