    Interesting that the seller claims purchased from the US even when called out on it. It's an bit of a game seeing how many times the same scope serial comes up across trademe.

    I had a guy saying he was looking at some leupolds on wish . Said they were way cheaper than here. I checked them out for him. Boxes and everything is pretty much identical. The mk4 version they were selling aswell gives them away.
    Some ot them use actual pictures of real ones in the field which they get off the internet for lots of products too.

    I bought a fake Leupold off AliExpress and it works for what I need.

    I'm now 55 and when I was growing up there was a saying "If it sounds too good to be true then it probably ain't"

    What happened to good old common sense ?

    And yes I know - common sense is not as common as you would like to think !

    Common what ????

    The mentality of some today, that has been popping up here pretty constantly lately can be summed up in four words "Cheaper is always better".....
