I have a very clean Leupold M8 3X scope with a rare German #1 reticle. ![[Linked Image]](http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/RodPhillips/IMG_5388_zpsoiqlnf8s.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/RodPhillips/IMG_5389_zpsavyovnz0.jpg) These old 3X Leupolds are great scopes, and finding one with the German #1 reticle is like finding a needle in a haystack. It's tough to get a decent photo of the reticle, but I tried. The first photo is the best image I was able to take of the actual scope. The second photo is a stock image that I found online to give a better idea of what the reticle looks like. ![[Linked Image]](http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/RodPhillips/IMG_5393_zpsy4vs0pja.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i714.photobucket.com/albums/ww146/RodPhillips/Leupold3X1German_zpseftxicjb.jpg) Condition is excellent inside and out. The optics are perfect. There are a couple of minor ring marks and couple pinpricks in the blueing, but all in all this is a very high condition scope in a rare configuration. $265 (firm) shipped in the US only. Payment by Paypal or US Postal Money Order (if we've done business in the past your check is OK). Rod

I have a very clean Leupold M8 3X scope with a rare German #1 reticle. These old 3X Leupolds are great scopes, and finding one with the German #1 reticle is like finding a needle in a haystack. Rod I have the same scope with the same great reticle on my .375 H & H. The small objective bell let me mount it extremely low -- with the low magnification it feels like shooting with the iron sights. Very fast... Best of all is that many Swedes have been convinced that they need something like the Hubble telescope so the resale value of this kind of scope is VERY low here. If I recall correctly, I paid the equivalent of $US 57 for about 5 years ago. John PS. We can also buy Toyota HiLux diesel pick-ups -- we have one at work. Expensive though!
