Leica Amplus 6 2.5-15x56i Rifle Scope - L-4a MIL - 50400
The Leica Amplus 6 2.5-15x56i Rifle Scope with the illuminated L-4a MIL reticle and capped turrets is made for the hunter who values maximum twilight performance and straightforward operation. With both elevation and windage protected beneath caps, this configuration is especially well suited to rifles that are sighted in once and carried through an entire season without frequent dialing.
The 56mm objective supports outstanding visibility as daylight fades, while the uncluttered L-4a reticle makes it easy to find the illuminated center dot against brush, shadows, and dark-colored game. A broad 2.5-15x magnification range handles close stalking, stand hunting, and longer shots across agricultural fields. Leica's optical design reflects the premium image quality found throughout the Leica rifle scopes lineup, emphasizing realistic color, strong contrast, fine detail, and controlled glare rather than relying on a single peak light-transmission measurement.

Best Uses
- Traditional whitetail hunting from stands and blinds
- Low-light black bear hunting
- Hunting in wooded creek bottoms and swamps
- Food plots and agricultural fields
- Hunters who prefer a simple zero-and-hunt setup
- Rifles carried through brush where turret protection matters
Key Features
- Maximum Twilight-Oriented Objective – The 56mm front lens enhances low-light usability and supports a 7mm exit pupil at approximately 8x.
- 2.5-15x Magnification – Provides useful coverage from thick cover to open fields without requiring a specialized long-range setup.
- Ten-Level Illumination – Lets the hunter match dot intensity to bright daylight, deep shade, or the final minutes of legal shooting light.
- Adjustable Side Parallax – Sharpens the image from approximately 20 meters to infinity.
- AquaDura Lens Protection – Reduces the tendency of moisture and contaminants to cling to the glass.
- Rugged Premium-Class Construction – Built around a 30mm tube with impact-tested, nitrogen-filled, waterproof construction.
Why This Riflescope Stands Out
Not every hunter wants exposed or dialable controls. The Leica Amplus 6 2.5-15x56 Scope concentrates on what matters for traditional big-game hunting: a bright image, a clean reticle, protected adjustments, and enough magnification for almost any ethical shot encountered from a stand or blind. It is the most straightforward 56mm Amplus configuration and an excellent match for hunters who prefer reliability over additional ballistic complexity.

Are both turrets capped on the 50400?
Yes. Both elevation and windage adjustments are protected beneath caps, making this model ideal for hunters who do not plan to dial during a hunt.
Is the L-4a suitable for dark timber?

Is this scope heavier than the 2.5-15x50i?
Yes. The 56mm version weighs approximately 28.7 ounces compared with about 24.7 ounces for the 50mm model, trading additional size and weight for stronger low-light performance.
Who benefits most from this configuration?
Whitetail, bear, and hog hunters who spend time in dim conditions and prefer a simple, protected adjustment system are the best fit.
