Leica Magnus. Trade

[shooters]

What a gem.
Extremely difficult to find.
Leica Magnus 2.4-16x56
Illuminated!
Ballistic reticle and turret.
Absolutely phenomenal glass and the low light is unreal.
The illumination is perfect. Eye box is exceptional. Like looking through a big screen.

Looking to trade for now for another high end optic.
Never mounted.
I can't imagine the Z8i or Schmidt Polar is better in low light. Haven't tried though.
No Vortex, Arken, Leupold etc offers for trade!
I get bored easily so seeing what's out there I have tried.

****….I have that exact scope and it's just about perfect.
I also have a Z8i and it's really a coin flip as to which one I prefer. Each has its categories where it beats the other.
What don't u like about it, that will improve with something else?
Put a price tag on it…..it will sell and u can buy something else.
Why on earth Leica stopped making them is a mystery and a shame.

There's nothing even in the slightest that I don't like. I'm extremely hesitant about letting it go. If I was smart, I would just leave it in the safe. Im about as ADHD as they come and just constantly have to be trying other optics, guns, bows etc.
I had it along side some of my recent purchases (Zeiss V8, older Diavari, Swaro Z6, S&B Stratos, and some other (lesser) optics. The Magnus IMO is in a different league as far as low light.
I assumed maybe I'd sell and try a Swaro Z8i, TT 315 or a ZCO420. Honestly no clue.
I have not tried a Swaro Z8i side by side so maybe I'd give one a try. I really just don't know.
I can say I don't plan on selling it cheap. These are gold as you're aware of.

Keep it. You are spot-on regarding Leica's performance in low light (ER 2.5-10 - also discontinued!). To my eyes, there is none better. Leicas resolve low light much differently than SB 5-25 PMII and 3-12 Klassik. I sold-on the Klassik after accepting that it just didn't look as good as it should and opted for an Eotech Vudu 1-6 FFP and 2 sets of QD rings. The Leica and the Eotech do double duty on two M70s - conditions and hunting grounds dependent. The Eotech is right there with the Leica (to my eyes). Not an extensive line, but very, very good.

Is this Leica still available? Your price?

Still consider trying a Z8i for the Leica Magnus
