Price check: Leupold Mark 4 3.5 x 10x40mm LR/T. There's one for sale in the local classifieds, no asking price. I hate that. Oh, it comes with the Sunshade, no rings.

to make matters worse, I come here to post and I see the thread re Leupold replicas... how do I tell if its a replica or the real deal?:confused:

Thanks,

Funny enough, I was recently checking into the same thing. This is the reply to my question to Wholesale Sports, so it'll give you an idea:
We are currently showing that we should have two in stock of the Leupold Mark 4 3.5-10x40 LR/T M1 scopes in stock. Leupolds number 52128, it is our item number 51517, and it retails for $1259.95.

there are some threads on Sniperhide which detail how to spot a fake.
The serial # is 88888SC or 99999SC or something like that.... The turret bases are aluminium on Leupy... brass on replicas... And teh ring is not correct. Get the hot line # from the factory... they;ll be more than happy to provide you with all the details.

here we go...I found it : http://www.snipershide.com/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=forum;f=19
 
any updates on this??is it a fake??thats the problem with Fakes/clones...sooner or later someone is going to get the short end of the stick......

No, when I saw the price of the real deal I did not contact the vendor. That is way WAY out of my price range. (FYI, it is listed on w ww.lespacs.com - a Quecbec classifieds site - it has an incredible amount of kit on there.)
I assume I will get what I pay for so I will stay away from the replicas & go with a mediocre scope like the Bushnell 3200 elite or something - I am open to suggestions :)

To your point though Jamie, the CGN thread that alerted me to the existance of fakes seemed to be praising the "replicas". While the sniperhide board they were made out like they were the scourge of the earth...

I understand the issue if someone is trying to pass one off as the real Leupold, but if it is a well made copy, then this is good for us, the consumer.
Leupold does not want to hear this I'm sure, but hey I can't afford their scopes anywyas, so they're not losing my business.

Cheers
