Leica PRS 5-30x56i riflescope

When it comes to accuracy at a distance, long-range shooters can rely on the uncompromising technology of the new Leica PRS 5-30x56i riflescope. Its generous magnification range of 5x to 30x offers many uses for both competitive settings and long-range sport shooting and hunting – at extended distances and under the most difficult conditions. Maximum optical performance gives a shooter high light transmission (>90%) high contrast images while maintaining increased eye relief and color fidelity, giving the shooter the ability to concentrate fully on the target in any conditions. The reticle’s large adjustment range in the first focal plane also gives the shooter the ability to shoot at extended ranges.

Both the elevation and windage turrets exhibit well defined tactile clicks that are accurate and precise throughout its entire range. Thanks to tool-free zeroing of the turret, precision sport shooters can react quickly and flexibly to different conditions. What’s more, the shooter can either activate the “zero stop” function or configure it individually, adapting the riflescope to custom requirements without the need for additional tools.

The functional design of the PRS 5-30x56i is also geared to the needs of long-range shooters: Made exclusively of robust metal components, it is extremely rugged while maintaining mechanical precision. The benefits at a glance:

• 6x zoom for flexible use during long-range sport shooting and competitions
• 32 mrad (>100 MoA) adjustment range of the reticle in the first focal plane
• tool-free zeroing of the turret scales, onboard tool for “zero stop”
• extremely rugged, high-quality workmanship maintain mechanical and optical precision
• multi-turn elevation turret with rev indicator

I know Leica is known for some exceptional optics. I like the innovation and the 6X magnification range. I would suggest that many would like a few changes to your current offerings. How about a 4X24 range? For my potential hunting needs I would be happier with that. Then how about MOA and second focal plane. Many first focal plane reticals are difficult to use on lower magnification when they are thinner. Especially early and late against a dark color.... Like in the timber early or late in the day. Lots of us hunters prefer MOA. Manufacture the above and I'm a buyer.

It sounds great, but I'm on Bruce's side. With a 6X range, for my needs I'm after the 2-12X or 3-18X. Either of those is a sheep, caribou or Eastern Cape kudu hunters dream. That's when you get my money.

0.1mrad adjustment is a bit rough for precision long range shooting. These days there are good few scopes on the market offering 1/8MOA (0.036mrad) adjustments.
