Awesome scope but very, very hard to find.
Good luck with your search.
This! When I saw your thread, I winced a bit because my search was, in a word, exhausting. In 2020 when I finally located mine, they had only been out of production for two years. Now I imagine they're going to be even more difficult to locate. Mine is currently mounted on a Ruger #1 RSI chambered in .275 Rigby. So it's a bit like a unicorn riding piggy back on another unicorn. But I like it!
The way I found mine was by creating a search on various websites (GunBroker, GunsInternational, Classifieds, etc.) and bookmarking them in a folder on my Chrome browser. Then every morning while I was drinking my coffee, I would right-click on that folder and select "Open All in a New Window". It would run all of my searches and display the results on a bunch of tabs. On some websites (e.g. GunBroker), I could filter the results before I bookmarked it to only show the new listings from the last couple of days. So for most of them, I could quickly glance at the web page, see that nothing had appeared & move on. Doing it this way, I was able to continually look for a Big Bore and it would only take me a minute to be disappointed again (over & over & over...). Basically being monomaniacally relentless paid off.
There are some websites that allow you to search all of Craigslist nationwide without looking at a specific locale. Bookmarking this, finally one day a guy in the midwest Great Lakes region listed one locally. A small target audience & a fixed price means limited competitors. Boom! I called him, used PayPal to send him some money, crossed my fingers & a couple of days later, the scope appeared. The irony of all this is that while I'm very pleased with it & consider it to be a perfect fit (both aesthetically & functionally) for the what I'm using it for, it probably (almost definitely) wasn't worth the effort I put into acquiring it. It's cult-like status & relative rarity because it was only available through Leupold's Custom Shop really doesn't help. I think the few people who own them are generally disinclined to give them up. And there's plenty of modern alternatives that would be adequate or better substitutes. But if you insist on acquiring the classic original, then you're preaching to the choir. I get it.
But like RAS posted above, "
Good luck with your search". My only regrettable advice is to be really patient & have a Plan "B".
