Anyone with First Hand Experience with Leica Amplus 6?

[Tommy T]

Swaro V5 is also one to look at. It will be in your price range and below your weight preference.

I have used leica for many years and in my experience they are one of the best scopes that you can buy, I've used them on 6.5 cm to 338 lapua they work great

I just ordered two of the 2.5-15x50i…

@ $900 each I will definitely get some feedback on them.

I've used Leica surveying equipment before and I have a Leica range finder. All those were/are good optics.

I sure like mine. I have one and ordered another.

My only experience with Leica is my ERi 2.5-10 x 42 4A and I love it.

I also have Leica Ultravid binoculars 8 X 42 which I love also.

Got the scopes in but I'm waiting on a trigger to get here before I mount the first one up. The glass is crystal clear and so far very pleased. More feed back to come after I test it out.

Equalizer, you may want to check with Kenton, I believe if you purchase an Amplus 6 scope after 6-1-23 Leica will give you a free turret from Kenton. I saw it on the Kenton website and again on the Outdoorsman website. Worth a peek...

I saw that! Good call mentioning it. I'll have to get a load for both rifles quickly lol.

Got sent here from a thread I started, where I was asking about the Amplus 6 scopes. Thanks to the input in this thread I just ordered one. Awesome!

What reticle did you go with?

I realize there was a post in 2021 on this topic that received one positive response. Just thought I would start a fresh one to see if there were any new updates. The Leica's Amplus new line is great on paper and the price point is significantly below others that I have been looking at. I just have no personal experience with Leica. I can't find one anywhere where I can give them the once over. I've heard they were able to produce the attractive price point by producing them in Portugal (cheaper labor the Germany). I really don't put a great deal of stock in You Tube reviews (Eastmans and Guns and Ammo), but they have been very positive.

I have the Amplus 6 2.5-15x56i on my 325 WSM and I really like it. I don't use this gun very often now that I'm not in Alaska, but it is one of my go to for heavy game (moose, grizz etc.) because it has enough amplification for longer shots it needed, and a good field of view. With the lower power it is great for timber and the illuminated dot makes it easier for me to make snap shots in that kind of setting. The glass is really good and the scope weighs 23oz. For the price, I really think you'd like it.

I went with the ballistic BDC because Eurooptic has it on clearance for a really big discount. I will play around with it and I'm hoping I can get comfortable with some practice.

Just pulled the trigger on one from eurooptics. Can't beat the price. Yes go to Kenton and up load receipt and get a free turret! Putting mine on my PRC
