For sale is a Leupold VX-III 1.5-5x20 rifle scope. Matte finish. Never been mounted and is in like new condition with the original box and lens covers. Will sell for $280 shipped. First I'll take it posted will get first precedents. Payment by money order, personal check, or paypal (f&f or add 3%). This is a fake from China. The serial number has no prefix or suffix indicating a knockoff. Feel free to shoot an offer if interested.

Unfortunately, I think this is true.

- No letter date code in suffix of serial number

- “L” looks a bit off shade

- No serial number nor reticle listed on box end

- “Lndex”

Does it have both adjustment turrets? What reticle?

I'll be the A-hole to ask, how does it track? laugh

You could help many here avoid the same fate if you could describe the circumstances that led you to be saddled with this fake scope.

I purchased this on a local classified. Both I and the seller thought it was legit. I have never seen a fake one, thought they were far and few between but apparently not. Lesson learned: Always check the serial number for that prefix/suffix and that the box is free of spelling errors.

There are a lot of fakes around.

On this one, the power ring is backwards from a real Leupold. Leupolds turn clockwise to increase power.

Turret caps are too high.

Serial numbers are not on the corner on a real Leupold.

Leupold has Index Matched lens, not LNDEX

Even when there are letters in the serial number, some are fakes. As far as I know, on a lot of faked scopes, letters are AA and AB.

On E-bay, if it says from China, It is fake.

When not sure, call Leupold or send them an e-mail. Phone number is 1-800-Leupold

I talked to a Leupold rep about these once. It hurts them because buyers are weary of fakes that many don’t know the difference to. They will tell you right away if you have a fake or not.

Just another reason to love our friends the Chinese Communists. You know, the Chinese really care a lot about the American worker. I can’t wait to buy more of their stuff.
