Home Forums Gear Free Classifieds "New" Fake Leupold's

If I'm not mistaken, selling or attempting to sell merchandise made in another country, purporting to be a US copyrighted brand, is a federal offense.

A easy way to tell is the screw on the power.adjustment ring is a rough finish,Not milled smooth;And the adjustment dials are a sticker rather than a ceramic texture,If anyone will text me threw my pm ,I'll be more than glad to send pictures to them to show how to tell the difference,I have them side by side comparison,Aso the Owner /Operating pamphlet will not have the Leupold address in Beverton Oregon on it anywhere,

You can't avoid them. They are everywhere. Legit business are getting duked. Me and a freind ordered a couple from wish . Just to see how they were. For a cheap hunting scope Tasco, Simmons, cheap weavers, they work for that. Glass is very subpar $60. However they track and can be hunted. My freind is still hunting with one. My curiosity was satisfied so I gave it away. They are in the states by the thousands. I don't own a leopold nor would I buy a used. I know you can call them with the serial # to check. Hiw long will it be until China finds a way to put real numbers on them.

If it holds Zero and adjusts correctly its probably a Fake!!!

That one never gets old.....not.

if they are still in the box, they usually misspell the word "matte" by listing it as "matt"

Enjoyed a really smooth transaction with you 160.
Really hate to hear you got taken advantage of.

The guys argument is that he never told me they were Leupold's.

Good to know, thanks.

For the kinda cash you mentioned earlier it should have been understood that you thought they were legit. Unless someone wanted a cheap scope for a 22 I don't know anyone who would buy a fake leupold on purpose

Fakes I've seen also have a brass colored gold ring and If you loosen the the eyepiece it will be very loose. No o-ring and loose threads.

Thats complete garbage. Have you named this user yet?

They should not be anywhere in the country unless they say fake right on them. I would not put them on any guns.

Thank you - I attend the shows in MN when I'm in the area. I'll keep an eye out for 'Brad' and make sure to avoid him. Seems the best thing to do now days is buy new.

That is rich!!!! LMAO

Does anyone have photo comparisons?

I hate cheaters but I love a good stout rope..

If anyone is interested, check out 18 USC 2230 - which makes it a federal felony to sell counterfeit goods with a penalty of 10 years and $2M fine - first offense. Trademark violations are considered pretty serious. There is even a tip line at Homeland Security…

I have picture comparisons if someone can post them for me,
