How can you tell a fake Leupold from a real one?????

[MGYSGT]

Lots of talk about fake Leupolds from overseas. How can you ensure the one you are buying from a private party/ EBAY/ garage sale/ etc. is the real deal?

Tom I've bought a few and sold a few...... If buying I ask for the serial # and call Leupold to verify takes about 5 min to do..... If I'm selling one you will always see the Ser# clearly in one of the pics.
If they won't provide the # I don't even consider purchasing.

The knock offs I've saw so far have all had a serial # that had no letter in it. If I remember correctly all true leupolds will have a letter either in the beginning or end of the serial #.

That will tell the year.

Just like boobs..........look close.....you can tell.

On you tube there are videos showing fakes and how to spot them.

Good question and good info gents.

Thanks. I'll be calling Leupold with serial #'s to confirm from now on.

Fake boobs or Leupolds?

 

[Ringostar]

I personally wouldn't complain about the fake boobs though!

 

[tarzan]

just try it and if it tracks good it is fake keep it and if it don't it is leupold

 

[Grimstod]

Drop it a few times they have a great warenty. I am being sarcastic of course.

Seriously i would look through there catalog amd make sure it matches one in there. You can probably get a serial number off it and call them to varify it.

I'll give you $500 for it if you throw in 1000 of those fancy new 105 bullets.

Now that sounds like a great deal for one of us!!
