Mine appeared to have been used as a wheel chock for the mail truck. However, the box that mattered on the inside was unsmashed.

I got mine no wonder the post office is loosing $$$
It was sent in a USPS box thats fine but the packing for the box was 6 USPS flat rate padded envelopes
I am sure those cost the post office something with no return

Mine was packed the same way and yes just got off the phone with Luepold and it is legit. The guy that I talked to at Leupold said that there are China knockoffs of their scopes out there and to beware of low priced ones. I told him the price on this scope and he suggested staying away, that it was probably a Leupold clone. Just telling you what I was told.

For the benefit of y'alls bank accounts and psyche, PLEASE - stay away from these things in the future! I will take one for the team and hoard every one of them up until the rafters sag above the living room. Someday my kids will realize how long ago my mind really went, as they swelter in the 150° August heat up there cleaning all this garbage out.

I received mine a couple days ago, was amazed at how quickly they got it to me. Haven't removed it from the box yet to make sure it's the real thing, but I'm not too worried. I've purchased Leupolds from the same seller in the past with no issues. I asked Leupold once about a scope on eBay, and I was told to never buy Leupold scopes from eBay.

Did anyone else receive one with a CDS dial? I was not expecting that.

Never to buy low priced Leupolds on eBay for a reason. That's where you find all the China Clones's. I asked a question to the seller if he would guarantee that the scope was not a knockoff, I haven't heard back from him as of yet.

I asked a question to the seller if he would guarantee that the scope was not a knockoff, I haven't heard back from him as of yet. I dont blame you for being concerned about the product being legit... I would be too. But I have been buying on forums and on line long enough to know that a seller with feedback like this guy is almost certainly not going to pass off clones and ruin his business. If he had little or no feedback, or did not specialize in sporting goods, I would be concerned. In this instance, I am not concerned enough to risk $250 bucks. I have been buying VX-2 scopes for $79 bucks on clearance, Monarchs at $99, Walmart had the Weatherby rifles at $249 and $349. There are clearance and closeout deals all over the place for crazy prices. People find a way to offer products for a great price at the end of the year. I dont know how it came to be, but I risked my money for one.

I would wager the scope I have on the way that the seller is buying overstock from an "authorized" dealer who is forced to buy more than they can sell in order to be an "authorized" dealer.
You probably won't have to worry about buying cheap scopes much longer from this seller though since every person who calls Leupold and gives them a serial number helps Leupold track down serial number blocks that went to an "authorized" dealer who isn't abiding by their "reseller" or "Minimum Pricing" and they will shut that outlet down eventually.

I asked a question to the seller if he would guarantee that the scope was not a knockoff, I haven't heard back from him as of yet. 5 total post and at least 4 are on this thread! Continuing to claim they must be Chinese knockoffs even after repeated and I mean REPEATED assurances, they are legit. YOU MUST BE A DEALER! You’re annoying please go away! Thanks for the heads up Broomd

Thanks for the heads up Broomd X2! Its amazing that just because the seller is running a deal and probably clearing out some inventory that everyone thinks these are fake. I have dealt with this seller more than 10 times in the past few years and everything has always been 100% legit. The guy has sold over 135,000 items on ebay with a 99.6% positive feedback rating so this guy isnt going to screw anyone.

I'll stop beating this dead horse after this post. As I and others mentioned earlier in this thread, the seller was / is only a few dollars cheaper than other web based outlets. It was the ADDITIONAL 10% discount given by EBAY that sweetened the deal and made it seem like it was too good to be true. Had it not been for the ADDITIONAL EBAY discount you would probably never have seen a thread on this nor the 4 pages trying to explain it.
Over the heads of some - and I do not apologize. Keep burying your heads in the sand!!!
