I found this on another site and I have concerns about it being legit. First, I have to admit to knowing next to nothing about Leupold Tactical scopes.

Ad: Never used Leupold VXII 3-9x40mm rifle scope. One inch tube, matte finish mil-dot reticle. This scope has finger adjustable elevation and windage knobs and is custom dial system compatible. Asking $300 OBO shipped.

Concerns:
- the power ring has the powers listed with an X next to them
- the adjustment knobs look unusual

I've owned dozen of Leupolds and none of them have those features. Is it a knock off?

Thanks, Dinny

If it holds zero and adjusts properly probably a knock off. (Sorry I could not resist! )

Contact Leupold. They'll let you you know if legit. Even if they are restructuring.

If it tracks correctly, it’s a fake.

Did it come with a Product Registration Card to fill out and return? But, yeah, check S/N.

It's a fake. Turret covers are wrong, turret adjustments are wrong, power ring is wrong, bikini cover is wrong, finish looks wrong. I'd ask for a pic of the box as well, string the seller along as far as you can before bailing.

That is too much gold ring for a VXII isn't it?

If it was in fact a VXII, it would say Leupold on the turret, instead of the gold emblem.
It's either a seller that doesn't know what they have, or a scammer. Either way, I'd run.

Yeah, the owners manual and cloth may be genuine, but that means nothing.
