Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i Rifle Scope - L4w BDC MOA, 50201

Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i L-4w BDC MOA Rifle Scope - 50201

The Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i Rifle Scope with the illuminated L-4w BDC MOA reticle offers a clean, dial-focused system for western hunters and precision-minded big-game shooters. The reticle supplies one-MOA wind references across the horizontal crosshair while leaving the vertical field largely unobstructed, allowing the hunter to dial elevation and maintain a clear view of distant game.

With an 18x top end, adjustable parallax, and a 44mm objective, this rifle scope provides useful detail without becoming as long or heavy as many high-magnification hunting optics. The compact 12.5-inch body is also well suited to rifles paired with a front clip-on thermal. Leica's optical performance emphasizes natural color, sharpness, contrast, and glare reduction, while the illuminated center dot helps maintain a precise aiming point against difficult backgrounds.

Best Uses

• Western mule deer and elk hunting
• Antelope and plains game hunting
• Sheep and mountain goat rifles
• Coues deer and long-range whitetail hunting
• Predator and varmint rifles
• MOA shooters who prefer dialing elevation and holding wind

Key Features

• BDC Elevation Turret – Supports dialed elevation corrections with a zero stop and quarter-MOA clicks.
• 3-18x Magnification – Provides the detail needed to evaluate game and make precise shots in open terrain.
• 44mm Objective – Keeps the optic relatively short and manageable while delivering a useful 7.3mm exit pupil at minimum power.
• Second-Focal-Plane Design – Maintains a consistent reticle appearance, with Leica's MOA subtensions referenced at the specified maximum setting.
• Side Parallax Control – Adjusts from approximately 22 yards to infinity for precise focus.
• Ten-Level Illuminated Dot – Maintains a visible center aiming point without obscuring small targets.
• Leica Field Durability – Includes AquaDura coating, waterproof sealing, nitrogen filling, and impact-tested construction.

Why This Riflescope Stands Out

Many long-range reticles add so much information that they can slow a hunter down. The L-4w takes the opposite approach. It gives the shooter a clean center, wind references where they are needed, and a turret for elevation. In a compact 3-18x44 package, this makes the 50201 especially appealing for hunters who already think in MOA and want a precise system that still looks and handles like a hunting scope.

Frequently Asked Questions

What corrections are shown in the L-4w reticle?
The L-4w provides MOA wind references on the horizontal crosshair. The shooter dials elevation with the BDC turret.

Is 18x useful for hunting?
Yes. It can help evaluate distant animals, identify smaller aiming points, and make precise shots from supported positions. Most hunters will still use lower power for faster target acquisition.

Are the MOA references valid at every magnification?
No. This is a second-focal-plane reticle, so the published subtensions correspond to the designated calibration magnification.

Is this a good choice for a lightweight western rifle?
It is more compact than the 50mm and 56mm models, though its 23.6-ounce weight should still be considered when building an ultralight rifle.
