Leica Fortis Glossy - The masterpiece.
Unique design meets handcrafted precision.
The new Fortis Glossy riflescope series is truly unique. It has already become the new standard for classic, high-end and special hunting rifles. A Leica Fortis Glossy scope completes every gun, making it one-of-a-kind.
These elegant riflescopes – with the soul of the proven Fortis 6x zoom models – are painstakingly hand-polished by Leica artisans with over 25 years of experience.

This riflescope series offers lasting value and demonstrates what Leica has represented for over 100 years: product design that focuses on the essentials, as well as the very highest standard of mechanical and optical mastery.
