Ouch about the knockoffs. I’ll cut the OP some rope since it was a trade item.

I agree, buying a scope that could be mass produced by China clones, especially a Leupold, on eBay. Is urber risky.

As for the Mark5. I’d like to own one.

Oh....sorry ....."Kinda"....OP.

Skipped over the traded for it part. My bad. But,.if trading you need good pics and if you have any experience whatsoever, you would have spotted fake assed Leupy in a picture.

Hopefully you learned a lesson here.

And if the bastard you traded has anything to do with this site.....out that piece of Sh+it

My condolences....

Better save this thread with a real Leupold.

I have “cured” a couple of lower tier Leupolds of adjustment vagary by running the knobs end to end a couple of times as I saw recommended in an John Haviland article. Still, my Burris, Trijicon, SWFA, etc etc haven’t needed that treatment.

I ran into that issue the other day, but with a Sig Romeo5 of all things. Adjust, nothing, adjust, big jump, adjust back, ta dum ta dum ta dum. Have another on the way, so we shall see if that’s typical or a fluke.

Never owned a real leupold so I didn't know what to look for
Good news though, looks like the guy is going to take back the scope, he didn't know it was a fake either.

Really, if you've never owned a leupold, I'm sure you'ld not now either. Nice to kick a guy when he's down......

Hey man, chit happens. Dont let the debbie downers drag you under with them. Easy to get taken these days. Glad the guy you traded with is willing to take it back. Unfortunately we live in a world full of crooks

I feel bad that you got a fake. Really, to be honest, the new Leupolds look like schidt anyway. So I can see it happening. The VX3I models look like china tool over in the design department over the VX3 models they were replacing. The old Leupolds are great looking scopes though.

Good to hear it.

You learned a lesson. Hope you get something nice and legit for yourself.

No idea why some spend energy to post insults and kick a guy when he is down.

Wouldn’t be a proper fire thread if someone doesn’t try to belittle someone

Sounds like my Swarovski z5 5-25X52. I finally got it zeroed though.

Who sold you the fake?

I hate it when I get faked out

Get a Burris E1 or Fullfield II. The FF won’t be a lot more than a bootleg Leupold (less if you include the heartache).

I have had excellent service from my Leupolds. Burris are being replaced. Poor service if any and poor quality scopes too often.

Yep, last 2 new Burris' had issues. Sold one with the issues and buyer knew about that one. The other still needs to go back or go down the road with the issue known to buyer.

Those FFII are a $100 scope at best.

Surprised to hear that
