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.
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 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.
