There are a lot of fakes around.

On this one, the power ring is backwards from a real Leupold. Leupolds turn clockwise to increase power.

Turret caps are too high.

Serial numbers are not on the corner on a real Leupold.

Leupold has Index Matched lens, not LNDEX

Even when there are letters in the serial number, some are fakes. As far as I know, on a lot of faked scopes, letters are AA and AB.

On E-bay, if it says from China, It is fake.

When not sure, call Leupold or send them an e-mail. Phone number is 1-800-Leupold
