Keep using and you'll soon see the reasons Leica is regarded so highly. I have a 2.4-16x56 Magnus, w/ illum....I haven't mounted it yet. But plan on it soon and then I can draw some better conclusions on the Magnus line. It's their primo line so I expect to be impressed. I've owned several different Leica scopes and binocs.
If you ever have to deal with the sun glare, the Leica will really shine versus any other brand.
I'm currently running a Swaro Z8i on a 6.5, and a S&B Exos on my .280ai. IMO you cannot find better optical quality than those two scopes, for my eyes at least. I'd consider Leica to be right up there with a few other alpha glass companies.
Your model retails for around $2000.....and can be found on sale for a bit less.
I know Leupold has gotten much better, but in my judgement, Leica is a clear class above. Try both scopes at last light. Also make sure you're comparing the same specs. Don't use a 56mm objective on one and a 42 on the other. Crank both up to their max, assuming they are both the same magnification Max, and compare. As far as image quality, color separation, edge to edge distortion and any other benchmark imaginable, the Leica is one of the best. The build and durability will not be an issue, and they track perfectly.
I don't know if mine will run with the Z8i or Exos, but I don't anticipate any noticeable drop off. My eyes are mine only and I know what I see. But I also listen to bird watchers and know what a stickler some of those folks can be about their optics. Leica is on their short list.
I don't know what u paid for the scope and rifle, but u def got a nice rig.
Keep using and I think you'll arrive at the same conclusion.
