Other tip offs that it is fake: The gold ring looks a bit too shiny, it should be matte and the lettering on the gold ring should be black on a black Leupold.

But seriously, it’s almost unbelievable that some jackass in China would go to all that trouble to make these fake Leupolds that look so close to the real thing, and yet they would make seriously lame mistakes like the serial number being on the corner like that.
