Another place to beware of fakes is gun shows. I haven't seen fake Leupolds but I've seen obviously fake Nikons at a local gun show. The price was too low and they were in plain white boxes. The dealer insisted they were the real deal.

Verication pretty quick and easy

The dealer insisted they were the real deal. I ordered a Nikon refurb from Natchez once and it came in a plain white box. More than likely that's what they were.

another place to watch for fakes is here in the classifieds. i got hit for two Leupolds (fake) from a member.

I bought a counterfeit Leupold on Ebay in 2018 just so I could look at it. I called Leupold and they verified the serial number is counterfeit. https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbt...t-leupold-arrived-from-ebay#Post12579651![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/63508.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](https://www.24hourcampfire.com/ubbthreads/gallery/80/full/63510.jpg)

Now that the majority of posters in this section have condemned Leupold counterfeit scopes, what other counterfeit scopes will you use in the future?

whatever is both good and cheap I guess.
The Leupold knock-offs that I've seen look more like the scopes that they are intended to mirror than the Bushnells or Zeiss knock-offs that I've seen.
I have around 326 scopes in service or in inventory, plus a few dozen throwaways, so I'm not desperate to buy any scopes, either genuine or fake.
