Leica Amplus 6 2.5-15x56i L-4w BDC MOA Rifle Scope - 50401
The Leica Amplus 6 2.5-15x56i Rifle Scope with the illuminated L-4w BDC MOA reticle combines exceptional low-light capability with an uncluttered long-range aiming system. The L-4w places one-MOA wind references along the horizontal crosshair while leaving the vertical sight picture clean, encouraging the shooter to dial elevation with the BDC turret and hold only for wind.
This layout works especially well for hunters who want precise corrections without a busy reticle covering an animal at dawn or dusk. The 56mm objective enhances twilight usability, the 15x upper magnification helps evaluate distant game, and the side-focus adjustment maintains image sharpness from roughly 20 meters to infinity. Leica's AquaDura® coating, 30mm tube, and all-metal functional components prepare the rifle scope for wet weather, temperature changes, and hard seasonal use.

Best Uses
- Long food-plot and bean-field shots
- Low-light whitetail hunting
- Open-country mule deer and antelope hunting
- Black bear hunting near timber edges
- MOA shooters who prefer dialing elevation
- Hunters wanting wind references without a dense ballistic grid
Key Features
- BDC Elevation Turret – Designed for dialed elevation corrections with a zero-stop system for a quick return to the primary zero.
- 56mm Low-Light Objective – Maximizes twilight capability when identifying and aiming at game in fading light.
- 2.5-15x Magnification Range – Transitions from stalking and close stand setups to detailed observation across large fields.
- Second-Focal-Plane Reticle – Keeps the reticle visually consistent in size, with stated MOA subtensions calibrated at maximum magnification.
- Ten Illumination Settings – Adjusts the center dot from daylight-visible brightness to subtle low-light intensity.
- Side-Focus Parallax Adjustment – Refines focus and reduces aiming error at changing distances.
- AquaDura and Waterproof Construction – Helps maintain a usable sight picture during rain, snow, mud, and humid conditions.
Why This Riflescope Stands Out
The L-4w is the cleanest long-range reticle in the Amplus family. Instead of asking the hunter to sort through numerous elevation marks, it keeps the target area open, relies on the turret for vertical correction, and supplies horizontal references for wind. In the 56mm model, that clean sight picture is especially valuable during the low-contrast conditions for which this scope is intended.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the L-4w provide elevation holdover marks?
No. Its hold references are positioned on the horizontal crosshair for wind. Elevation is intended to be corrected with the BDC turret.
At what magnification are the MOA references accurate?
Because this is a second-focal-plane reticle, Leica's listed subtensions are based on the designated maximum-power setting.
Why pair this reticle with a 56mm objective?
The clean reticle preserves an open view of game in dim conditions, while the large objective improves visibility during those same dawn and dusk periods.
Who should choose the L-4w instead of the L-Ballistic 2?
Choose the L-4w when you plan to dial elevation and want the least-obstructed long-range view. Choose the L-Ballistic 2 when you also want elevation references in the reticle.
