Need to know the year of manufacture of a 6x36 #41226B 6x36? Did this scope have coatings? Thanks,powdr Easy way to tell if the Leupold scope has multi-coated lenses: Hold the scope at waist level - Obj. lens up. Look at the lens as you tilt the scope to see the color of the coatings... If it's green: It's multi-coated... If it's purple, then it's not! If you're color blind; then you're screwed!  The M8; 6x36 was never multi-coated. However the FX-II, is ... Hope that helps... GH

That's not accurate. The post Multicoat4 scopes are multicoated but don't show green.

BTW: I'm dating a French Model... (I met her on the internet...) Seriously: I defer to your superior knowledge...

Or just call Leupold, they will happily talk to you about it.
I'm a firm believer in the theory of " If it bleeds, I can kill it".

Well Im lost... I have a Vari-X II (not a VX 2) with an "E" at the end of the serial number. He says the Vari-X II's were made between 1974 & 1983. He also states that after 1983 the letter follows the serial number. Only problem with that is the Vari-X II's were no longer in production.(according to his chart) What am I missing here??

Mudslicks, Obviously that was a typo. I'm sure he meant to say that the letter is a suffix beginning in 1993 . Thus your scope would be 1997 production. Hope that helps...

Well I had a typo. His chart shows X II's made from 1963 - 1983. If he had a typo, He has two of em. 1 in the chart listing features, the other in his post below the letter/year's list. Not so sure its a typo or not.
Guess I need to take some pics and post em on the TX forum.
Thanks

Here is a link to a Leupold prefix/suffix chart: http://www.leupold.com/resources/faqs/I have found the Texas link useful, but no guarentees re: accuracy - just something I stumpled upon on the "net".
