    A corolla model !

    These looked like the real thing but were not the real thing. serial numbers didnt exist and were very different internally to the real thing. Thats what we got told by the NZ agents.

    Er. You may not want to look at this .

    Leupold Mark 4.5 14X50E Mil dot Illuminated Riflescopes Rifle Scope Hunting Scope with Mounts-in Riflescopes from Sports & Entertainment on Aliexpress.com

    Just doing a bit of reading it appears that the counterfeiters have started using real serial numbers and adding some of the missing details onto the scopes.

    One picture shows the std 88888c number while another shows a different number again and that same number is used on another scope in a different add on that same site.



    The makers who spend a lot of money making a brand that is respected enough to have fakes using their reputation care a fair bit about it.
