Description of Leica Magnus i Riflescopes

Leica Magnus i rifle scopes are the second generation of the Leica Magnus riflescopes. They were introduced on IWA in 2016. Leica is a well-renowned producer of optics and has long been regarded as one of the best producers of binoculars in the world. Magnus line was Leica's entrance in the premium class of rifle scopes and they invested a lot of effort in producing one of the best hunting telescopic sights on the market. Leica Magnus scopes have the widest field of view, true “Leica” vivid colors and an outstanding contrast. Leica Magnus scopes also offer an extraordinary light transmission rate of more than 91% and this is a remarkable achievement for a super-zoom rifle scope. Zoom factor of the wide angle model is 6.3 and 6.7 for bigger models. These rifle scopes really offer versatile possibilities of use and are a great choice for anything from driven hunts or safari to low light hunting or long-range shots due to their large field of view. All outer lens surfaces are covered with Leica AquaDura coating that prevents fogging at low temperatures, repels water and protects lenses from scratches. Mechanics and general build quality of Leica Magnus scopes are also on such a high level that you can rely on Magnus scopes in any kind of challenging conditions.

All Leica Magnus i rifle scopes come with new turrets, where the zeroing of the scope is done by pressing the turret and turning it, without any key needed. They come with an even better-illuminated reticle and a very advanced illumination system, located on the top of the eyepiece. The operation of the system is very intuitive and can be done even while wearing gloves. The knob for regulating the illumination on the Magnus i series of riflescopes locks into place more firmly, so that the accidental turning on or off cannot take place.

There are 60 levels of illumination intensity altogether, meaning that the illumination can be fine-tuned for any lighting conditions, either as a day bright dot for driven hunts or as a very dim point of aim for low light hunting. The illumination system also features a position sensor which automatically turns off the illumination when the scope is tilted sideways or is in a vertical position. The illumination system features new, updated electronics which reduce energy consumption. This system substantially increases battery life. All Leica Magnus i rifle scopes can optionally be ordered with the Zeiss ZM/VM rail for simple mounting, or BDC lockable turrets with 100 clicks in a single turn (the wide-angle model cannot be ordered with the BDC-turret).

Leica Magnus i rifle scopes features

  • Reliable mechanics in a one-piece housing (shockproof even for the most powerful calibers)
  • Waterproof and dry nitrogen purged for a fogproof use at low temperatures
  • Parallax free at 100 m
  • Second focal plane reticles (reticle size doesn't change with zoom)
  • Multi-coated lenses for image brightness and contrast
  • Wide field of view
  • Extraordinary light transmission (over 91%), even at maximum magnification
  • Big zoom ratio (wide angle model is 6.3 and 6.7 for both bigger models)
  • 10 years warranty
  • Short design
  • Variable magnification (wide angle model 6.3 and 6.7 for both bigger models)
  • Daylight and nighttime illumination (big illumination knob for usage with gloves)
  • Automatic illumination shut off (when the weapon is tilted in a non-shooting position)

Wide-angle riflescopes are built to offer the widest possible field of view for rapid target acquisition. Such scopes are used for close range shooting on driven hunts, while stalking, on dynamic shooting competitions or in close quarter tactical situations. Many of the wide-angle riflescopes also offer the option to use both eyes open when aiming and in this way have an unlimited field of view. Illuminated reticle gives further advantage to the shooter in fast target acquisition; however, such illumination has to be in bright daytime. Common features of wide-angle scopes are:

  • Magnification of 1.0x (or 1.1x as less ideal)
  • Field of view greater than 35m/100m
  • Illuminated reticle with daytime intensity
  • 30 mm tube diameter (hunting models can be mounted with rails)
  • 4, 5, 6, 8 or 10 zoom factor
  • Capped or tactical turrets
  • • Parallax fixed at 100m
