Are these CDS?

Thanks broom! Didn’t need it but what the heck.

No cds

I got a VX-5HD 3-15x56 for $707 last night with that code!!

I keep seeing posts about the drop in quality of recent Leupolds like these VX-3is and deals like this let me know why. At $237 a unit remember the ebay seller and Leupold are making money on the deal, probably not a lot but I am sure there is still some profit margin. That means the Leupold cost per unit I would guess is hovering somewhere around $150. No wonder why quality has gone down.

I still have a bunch of older Vari-X IIIs that never need to be touched and older Mk4s with M1, M2 and M3 that all spin great, never had an issue. These were all 100% US made scopes and even in way back then dollars the Vari-X IIIs cost more than $237 new.

Just my opinion, but this is the start of the death nose dive for Leupy.

Be safe all Spence.

Price Point Scope ???
From a mass merchandiser???

I've wondered if maybe these aren't the start of depletion of inventory on Leupold's part (2nd deep discount in 3 months). And the end of the VX iii series - similar to how the VX 1 and VX2 have been discontinued. I don't think Leupold is going anywhere, but the market isn't what is was 20-30 years ago. Lots of manufacturers selling good enough quality scopes that folks don't care what name is on them, nor how long they've been in business. I'm partial to Leupold because that's what dad always put on everything.

Code did expire before I saw this. If anyone else has a code before they are sold out, please post or PM.

Thanks

Missed it. I go to bed early.

Glad you guys grabbed these up. I didn't have need of one, but for that price and quality, I snagged one as well.

Yes. Seller is GTG

Good thing … I bought one.

Thanks for the info---got mine this morning about 7 am and the code worked then. (7;00am est)

Sure didn't need another scope but wasn't passing on that kind of price for a Leupold, esp in such that power range.

Probably going to start dumping all they can before the tariffs kick in.

I have bought from this seller also, a VX5HD and it was an awesome price

jumped on one without looking I wish I had seen the MOD1 AR scope That would have been a good buy the code only worked once

I bought from this seller about 10 weeks ago when ebay had a coupon, but I paid just under $270 for mine. Hopefully it's real, as I have been out of country working since I bought it. If another deal comes up, I may have to jump on it.

Are you sure these are not some China knock offs??

Fact: I have purchased from big fish before and had zero issues. It looks as if numerous other fire
members have had the same experience as mine. As someone else stated, I can’t imagine big fish
compromising their reputation on eBay.

Opinion: My guess is big fish is not a leupold dealer. If they were they would be a retailer. My thoughts
are big fish is a reseller/resaler. They simply buy overstock from big companies, have no overhead
and pass the savings to the customer.

Just my thoughts.
Hope I’m right since one is on the way.

I'm sorry that I missed this. I saw the 10% off coupon and couldn't think of anything to buy with it. I'd have loved to have gotten one of these. I'm hoping another coupon comes up soon.
