I can find you 20 legit scopes on eBay for every fake. A $99 VX-3 coming from a new seller in China is not real.

Last one I looked at was up to $300 bid, I called Leupold with the serial number and it was fake. All I'm saying it is, don't trust anyone, check the series number. I'm stopping now, because I don't want to keep hijacking the OP.

I don’t think the OP will mind; his query was answered in the first reply. Not to mention we are in the argumentative forum, where an occasional optics discussion may break out.

Interesting experience that you noted. Was that a silver scope?
