Leupold knock-offs

[raised by wolves]

I was chatting about Leupolds and thought I should post this info.

Keep your eyes open troops. I saw another "LEOPOLD" (not a typo made by me) last month. The lettering on the side of the scope is very similar to the older style used by Leupold on some of the earlier models of VX2 and VX1.

I was chatting with a buddy of mine south of the border that commented on some really legit looking scopes that were fakes. He said that on some of the better looking copies, one has to closely examine the turrets and adjustment markers. Same fellow mentioned one he had hands on that was lettered "LEUPLOD". Unfortunately, it sounds as though a few new shooters have been scammed.
