LEICA MAGNUS 1.8-12 X 50I
I have been in the company of Leica kit, be that binoculars, riflescopes or spotters, in some pretty gnarly places around the world. I have watched it deliver at high altitudes in Nepal, and under a torrent of Scottish rainfall, and it has certainly done the job that was asked of it. I will admit it is not a scope I have used myself as much as some of the others in the list, but it certainly deserves its place there, and shouldn’t be overlooked. The 1.8-12x50 Magnus comes in a BDC version should you wish, with an illuminated dot as standard. Teamed up with the ballistics solutions offered in their binoculars, it is an extremely efficient and intuitive system. Granted, little of this will be needed for most stalking, but in its basic offering it is tremendously versatile, and should you want the extra capability, this is there too.
