The Leica riflescope effect

Experience the difference

Precision you can rely on

One look through a Leica riflescope reveals the difference. It’s the moment when everything concentrates on the essentials – the light, the aim, the focus. When technology does not distract, but simply functions without compromise. We call it the Leica riflescope effect. For over a century, Leica has been synonymous with optical perfection and mechanical precision. You’ll notice this expertise in every detail: The large eyebox immediately aquires the target, the rugged all-metal construction withstands the toughest conditions, the mechanics remain reliably precise even after thousands of clicks. And natural, high-contrast imaging lets you capture the decisive moment well into dusk.

Leica riflescopes are reduced to the essentials – for hunters who take responsibility, seek clarity, and appreciate precision. Developed in Wetzlar, manufactured in Europe. That’s passionate precision.

That’s the Leica riflescope effect.

Comfortable – and on target

At the decisive moment, what counts is how quickly you can view your target – for a safe decision.

 

The largest eyebox in its class – made possible by a large exit pupil of up to 12.4 mm – ensures intuitive, comfortable viewing: no searching, no shadows. Whether you’re taking a quick shot during a driven hunt, or smoothly tracking a moving target, Leica riflescopes deliver the full, clear image directly to your eye.

 

Experience rapid-focus precision – with the Leica riflescope effect.

Rugged – built for all terrains

Leica riflescopes are built for the harsh realities of everyday hunting. The all-metal housing with a wall thickness of 1.5 mm withstands shocks, the elements, and mechanical stress. Each riflescope is impact-tested to 1500 G and is waterproof to 4 m – this design delivers what it promises. Rely on precision – in every situation, in any weather.

Reliable – high-precision mechanics that last

The mechanics of all Leica riflescopes are made entirely of metal and designed for maximum repeatability. Even after thousands of adjustments, the point of impact remains stable. This means consistent precision: year after year, click after click, shot after shot. Trust in mechanics that offer safety – Leica precision is made to last.

Quality – the Leica image

When light and optical precision come together naturally, the Leica moment is born. Sophisticated multi-coated lenses ensure exceptional contrast, natural colors, and high light transmission. Even in twilight, structures remain clear and contours stay defined. The hand-coated lenses reduce stray light and reflections – for a calm, brilliant image that’s lifelike in color and detail. Experience the Leica image – bright, high-contrast, true to life.

Production of the Fortis riflescope

Made in Europe – where hand-crafted meets high-tech

Leica riflescopes are manufactured in Europe – with the precision and care of experienced hands that every detail deserves. This has shaped the Leica brand since 1907. Every lens is checked by specialists, all mechanics are adjusted by hand, and each housing is measured individually. No assembly line, no compromises – just genuine craftsmanship combined with state-of-the-art manufacturing technology. You’ll experience the difference the moment you look through it. That’s the Leica riflescope effect.
