Fake Leupolds?

[oldfart]

Are there any instances of the lower end Leupolds being counterfit? The reason I ask is, I was looking at 2x7lr which didnt have "lifetime gaurantee" imprinted on the bottom, as my varx11 does.

The Leupolds aren't counterfeit. There are fake ones though.

Look for the medallion on the side of the scope..... the fake ones usually dont have it...

This scope was represented as Leupold ,the box and paperwork also, and the price was Leupold.

there's even NcSTAR "replicas" out there- that just shows how desperate they are to see a buck

Best thing to do is call Korth Group with the serial number and they'll tell you...

Thats what I was thinking, if you buy used. Do you think people will be reluctant to give you s/n of their equipment?

If they won't give you the s/n of a scope, buy from someone else...
