Thread: Fake Leupold scope

Just so nobody here buys it- the a-hole knows it's fake too, from the last time he listed it. Why not ask him about it?

'Matt-lin' on the box gives it away without the backwards numbers on the wrong side of the power ring, the non squared off turrets and the off coloured 'gold ring'

I got bolloxed on here by another forum member (called a troll, sh*tting on someone's TM auction etc) from what was thought by many (not just me) to be a fake Loopie.
It had bad photos, with seemingly off coloured gold ring too, and appalling packaging grammar etc.
Turned out that one 'could' have been genuine, as it was apparently a 1989 to 1992 model. Noting that seller never posted a serial number when requested.

So my advice is just be 100% sure of what you are calling out publicly. Easier than coming across like a d*ck like I did in my case.

Google the Leupold website. It shows all the differences between genuine and fake.

It's gone lol was def a fake as it had 4x 6x on the zoom I kno cos I have 1 here hope he didn't get that $ for it or I might have to put mine on tardme

You wouldn't do that Padox... You still have morals n scruples.

Ive got a fake ziess it was too cheap and the seller was upfront about it being a fake maybe he bought it thinking it was a proper one. Anyway other than being fake its still a bloody good scope and I still use it..

i had a fake "dokter" which was east german zeiss, to be honest it worked bloody well. i had the opotunity to look thru the real thing and its zeiss equivalent. there wasnt much difference in clarity though not having the latter 2 on a rifle i cannot comment on how reliable they were when fired
