Thanks for the feedback guys. After GSPfan's comment I've decided to put the scope up on eBay.

Edit:
GunDoc7 - did manage to find the chart at the Leupold link below - Thanks.
"7. When was my scope manufactured?
Every Leupold scope produced since 1974 will have a letter included in the serial number acting as a date-code. Scopes using a letter as a prefix (the beginning of the serial number) were produced between 1974 and 1992. Scopes using a letter as a suffix (the end of the serial number) have been produced after 1992."

Looks like my scope is 1984 (Prefix R = 1984)
