Niether helps much when someone advertises a FX-2 scope for sale, and description given doesn't quite sound rite. So you ask the seller for the model number, except that doesn't match any of the scopes listed in current catalogs, and as far as I've been able to find out "No Where" on Leupolds website can you look up model numbers on older scopes. So you try to run a search on the internet only to find out it might be a M8 shotgun muzzleloader scope instead, or a VX2 is actually a VX1. Shouldn't have to rely on what might be on the internet instead of being able to go to the Leupold site and finding out for sure.
