Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i L-Ballistic 2 BDC MOA Rifle Scope - 50213
The Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44i Rifle Scope with the illuminated L-Ballistic 2 BDC MOA reticle is a compact precision hunting optic for shooters who want both turret dialing and direct hold references. Its 3-18x magnification range supports detailed observation and careful shot placement, while the 44mm objective keeps the rifle scope shorter and more manageable than the larger-objective Amplus models.
The L-Ballistic 2 reticle places one-MOA references on both the vertical and horizontal crosshairs, allowing elevation and wind corrections without the visual bulk of a full Christmas-tree pattern. The BDC elevation turret provides a second method for correcting bullet drop, making the scope adaptable to both fast field holds and deliberate dialed shots. Leica's illuminated center dot, adjustable parallax, contrast-rich optics, and AquaDura® protection support reliable performance across open basins, mountain terrain, and predator country.

Best Uses
- Longer-range mule deer and elk hunting
- Sheep, goat, and mountain hunting
- Antelope and plains game
- Coues deer and open-country whitetails

Key Features
- BDC Elevation Turret – Provides quarter-MOA clicks, a zero-stop system, and repeatable dialing for measured distances.
- 3-18x Six-Power Zoom – Offers enough low-end field of view for normal big-game hunting and substantial top-end detail for extended ranges.
- Compact 12.5-Inch Length – Fits shorter actions and thermal-compatible setups more easily than many high-magnification scopes.
- 44mm Objective Lens – Balances image quality, mounting height, and portability for hunters covering difficult terrain.
- Adjustable Parallax – Sharpens the target and reduces parallax error from approximately 22 yards to infinity.
- Ten Brightness Levels – Keeps the illuminated center point useful from daylight to low-contrast evening conditions.
- All-Weather Leica Construction – Combines AquaDura® coating, a 30mm tube, nitrogen filling, waterproof sealing, and impact testing.
Why This Riflescope Stands Out
The Leica Amplus 6 3-18x44 (50213) is the most flexible hunting scope of the Amplus line. The L-Ballistic 2 allows both elevation and wind holds, the BDC turret supports dialed elevation, and the compact body avoids the oversized feel of many long-range optics. It is a strong match for a hunter who may need to react quickly to one opportunity and carefully range and dial for the next.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the L-Ballistic 2 show both elevation and wind corrections?
Yes. One-MOA references appear on the vertical and horizontal crosshairs, allowing the shooter to hold for either correction.
Can elevation still be dialed?
Yes. This configuration includes a BDC elevation turret with a zero stop, so the shooter can dial elevation and use the reticle primarily for wind if preferred.
How does the 44mm objective affect the scope?
It helps reduce length, weight, and mounting height compared with larger 50mm and 56mm objectives, though those larger models have an advantage in the lowest light.
Who should choose this model over the 50201 L-4w?
Choose the 50213 when you want elevation and wind references in the reticle. Choose the 50201 when you prefer a cleaner sight picture and plan to dial all elevation corrections.
