Rifl escopes.Success in your sights.

The Wonders of Nature ...

... are spread across the entire globe.The purpose of

the Leica Sport Optics range is to discover them, to

pause and experience the moment in all its intensity.

Our success story begins in 1907, when the first

binoculars entered production: the Binocle 6 x18,

In 1920, Dr Ernst Leitz II took over his father’s position

as head of the Leitz (later Leica) optics factory. The

young Leitz was not only a passionate entrepreneur, he

was also a passionate field sportsman. His enthusiasm,

his love of nature and his unwavering dedication to

quality still shape our products today. We don’t design

mere technical gadgets; we develop products of the

very highest optical quality that answer the needs

of sportsmen.

The following pages are a journey of discovery.

Here, you will get to know our new Magnus series of

riflescopes and learn more about our ER riflescopes.

Brilliant optics combined with precision engineering

guarantee a successful outcome every time, over

distance and under the harshest of conditions.

ABOUT US

The sun still hangs low ...

... over the early-morning horizon in Tanzania. Behind the

lush rainforest, the radiant grasslands and the endless

savannah, the majestic Kilimanjaro rises regally into the

heavens. There could hardly be a more perfect place to

experience the magnificence of Africa’s natural beauty

and its breathtaking animals.

The prospect of watching herds of gnus, kudus and

springboks, followed by the big five, instantly makes

the heart beat faster.

This region also offers some of the most fascinating

opportunities. Nowhere else on the planet has such a

broad array of free-ranging wild game. For an experienced

sportsman, the mere mention of its famous reserves

and national parks - such as the Selous Game Reserve –

is enough to set the pulse racing. At 54,000 km², it is the

biggest game reserve in the world and boasts the greatest

number of Cape buffalo. Stalking these mighty beasts is

not only thrilling; it demands courage, stamina and skill.

Leica Sport Optics has developed its range of riflescopes

precisely for situations such as these: for those moments

when absolute reliability is key. Uncompromising in their

precision and technically sophisticated – maximising your

chance of success.

RIFLESCOPES

Only a heartbeat away ...... behind the thicket of branches, rests a herd of enormous, dark-brown Cape buffalo. Considered generally

peaceful and good-natured, they are also extremely tough and confi dent. Above all, they have an uncanny

ability to sense when danger lurks.

You are acutely focused. You now have to silently and carefully move as close as possible to your chosen

buffalo, get it in your sights and, at the right moment, take an accurate shot.

The buffalo is a high point for any devotee of African hunting. Not only is the trophy of a remarkable strength

and size, it’s an unforgettable experience filled with excitement. And because every quarry and every

sportsman is unique, we have developed two different series of riflescopes. The new Magnus series of

premium riflescopes comprises three illuminated models that perform brilliantly even under the most

challenging light conditions. And the dependable ER series features the longest eye relief in its class.

CUTAWAY VIEW OF THE LEICA MAGNUS 2.4 –16 x 56

CUTAWAY VIEW OF THE LEICA MAGNUS 1 – 6.3 x 24

With the new illuminated riflescopes of the Magnus series, nothing remains hidden. All three models

feature an extremely crisp, brilliant illuminated reticle dot with precisely adjustable brightness. Sixty-step

day/night mode ensures perfect light intensity. The excellent transmission and extraordinary contrast

of the Magnus optics let you take aim with confidence, even in the most challenging light conditions.

Its very wide field of view ensures you have the ideal overview, while the 6.7 x zoom factor means you enjoy

maximum flexibility. Each control element is large, ergonomic and intuitive, so you can adjust the Magnus

while wearing gloves or in complete darkness. Its intelligent on/off function helps extend battery life. The

greater distance between the exit pupil and eyepiece ensures comfortable eye relief and improved safety,

especially when using a high-calibre rifle. The eyepiece and front lens feature the AquaDura™ coating

so that water and dirt simply roll off.

LEICA MAGNUS 1.5 –10 x 42

Magnus 1.5 –10 x 42.The perfect All-Rounder.

The first rays of dawn illuminate the open savannah stretching out before you. It

reveals a large herd of gazelles. Screened behind one of the rare bushes, you observe

the impalas and the Thomson’s gazelles. Even in the pale morning light, you can

identify this species of small gazelle by its curved horns and the black stripe on each

side of its white belly. Quietly, you prepare your shot.

The Magnus 1.5 –10 x 42 is particularly compact and adapts to meet every challenge.

Over long distances or at closer range, you can always rely on this riflescope. The

42 mm lens and versatile zoom make it the perfect choice for shots that need to be

taken from a variety of different positions.

The precise reticle dot and the finely calibrated adjustable brightness ensure that

you can focus clearly on your target, undisturbed by the illuminated dot.

LEICA MAGNUS 2.4 –16 x 56

Magnus 2.4 –16 x 56.The Reliable Night and

Blind Scope.

It’s getting late: fiery orange colours herald the coming dusk. Well camouflaged, you sit

in your observation post behind an acacia bush. In the distance, an old kudu bull stretches

its shining, long, corkscrew horns into the sky. With its stately and noble stance, it is

completely unaware of your presence. Now, you have the time to quietly – and above all

safely – set your sights on your target.

Time is a precious commodity – particularly when in field. The Magnus 2.4 –16 x 56 gives

you valuable additional minutes. It is the brightest model in the new Magnus series and

embodies the Leica vision of the classic precision-shot riflescope for those who want to

extract the maximum from their optical equipment. The large lens, the effective entrance

pupil at medium magnifi cation and the excellent light transmission of around 91 % ensure

the best possible targeting right up until the last glimmer of light.

Thanks to its 16 x maximum zoom, the Magnus 2.4 –16 x 56 is also ideal for shots over

long distances.

Magnus Reticles and ASV.Focus on the Essential.

Thanks to Leica’s innovative projection technology, the illuminated dot in all Magnus

reticles is extremely sharp and brilliant – free of any distracting excess illumination.

Superfl uous light from the objective lens is also effectively suppressed. The sensitive

brightness control lets you choose how dim or bright you wish the illumination to be. So

you always have an overview – and you can see all the important details even in adverse

conditions. All Leica reticle designs have been developed and tested by fi eld sportsmen,

and all are located in the second focal plane.

Rifl escopes from the Magnus series can be ordered with an optional ASV fast reticle-

adjustment system.

CUTAWAY VIEW OF THE LEICA ER 2.5 –10 x 42

You will always stay on the safe side in any situation with a Leica ER riflescope. Produced and

assembled in Germany, the fi rst-class optics and precision engineering of these rifl escopes never fail

to impress. At the same time, they ensure absolute safety with an extra-long 4 in/10 cm eye relief

that is the longest in their class. The compact eyepiece construction and the long centre tube also
