Selling a Leica ER5 2-10x50mm scope. These are truly excellent scopes that are optically brilliant and tough as nails. This one has the non-illuminated magnum ballistic reticle in the second focal plane, and side focus down to 50 meters.

The scope functions as designed and intended, but has some cosmetic imperfections. There are a couple of hard marks on the top of the front objective, as shown in the pics. One turret cover has a small mark. The ring marks are few, and aside from one small mark on the right front side, are small shiny marks in the matte finish.

Low light performance is excellent. The reticle is bold enough to easily see after sunset. The lenses have no scratches or blemishes. The magnification ring rotation is a little stiff indicating tight manufacturing tolerances. The scope has 6-1/4” of mounting length making it a good fit for long-action receivers. The turrets are covered.

Here are some specs:
Waterproof: up to 4 meters
Light transmission: >90%
Scope Weight: 25.5 oz
Scope Length: 15.3 inches
Magnification Range: 2-10x
Scope Objective Diameter: 50mm
Scope Tube Size / Mount: 30mm
Turret Adjustment (Click Value): 1/4 MOA
Elevation: 100 MOA
Travel Windage: 90 MOA
Parallax Adjustment: 50 yards - infinity
Reticle Position: Second Focal Plane
Reticle Details: Magnum Ballistic Reticle
Field of View: 36.25 ft at 100m, 7.25 ft at 100m
Eye Relief: 3.8 inches
Illuminated Reticle: No
Scope Finish: Matte Black

Just for kicks, I did a Google search on a comparison between the current $1,500 Leica Amplus 6 versus the Leica ER5. This was the AI-generated result:

When comparing a Leica ER5 to an Amplus 6, the key difference lies in their price point, with the Amplus 6 being significantly more affordable while still offering excellent optical quality, considered a "value" option compared to the premium Leica ER5 which boasts superior features and build quality across the board.

There are no issues with this scope. If you require high-performance in your optics, this is your scope. If you require cosmetic perfection, this is not your scope. It is priced with cosmetics in mind. The only reason I’m selling is a need an illuminated center dot reticle.

$650 shipped. The scope will be cross-posted so first public “I’ll Take It” prevails by timestamp. This is cross-posted. Drop me a PM if you have questions or need more photos. Thanks for looking and safe shooting!
