I try to stick with the basics, they do so well. Nothing fancy mind you, just plain jane will get it done with style.

Great eye relief, super easy to get behind, good glass, good reticle, almost guaranteed to be "interesting" getting it sighted in. Will probably stay put once you get it there.

I was actually thinking the same thing. Pretty sure that scope is not legit.

But hey, testing has proven the cheap Chinese Leupold knockoffs are actually better than the real thing.

Did you buy it off Amazon? If so, you should be able to return it.
If you bought it off ebay, good luck.

Call Leupold with the serial number marked in the turret base. They will tell you if it is legit.

I was a die hard Leupold guy 20+ years ago. Then I saw the light & realized that Nikon Monarchs & Bushnell Elites were better than the "Gold Ring" brand. I am down to my very last Leupold a Vari-X 2-7x Compact. For the right price, I will probably sell it off.

I had a flawless 1.5-4x VV-II on an AR before the tragic boating accident and a 2-7x on a .308 that has been fine. I have a 3-9x40 CDS on a .35 Whelen that’s about to hit the road. I’m not a Louie hater, just know that there’s better glass around.

There isn't better glass for the coin than a VX5HD 3-15x44 despite retards parroting Leupolds suck. But, lesser grade Leupolds have always been living off the brand name, which has lost some ground since the 90s.
