    Fake Leupold on Trademe?

    I looked at this advertisement and wondered if it was a fake Leupold:
    https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/marketpl...4?bof=Oq7uxX5r
    It is called a Leopold VX-111 3.5-10×50, with a 30mm mount tube, and illuminated reticle. Serial number: 152007N.
    Checked out the details on the net and could not find any mention of an illuminated VX-III 3.5-10x50.

    You can e-mail Leupold and they’ll respond with a yes or no as to it being a fake.

    Fake Leupolds are still better than any Vortex

    A big fast bullet beats a little fast bullet every time

    I’d be more worried that the box serial number doesn’t match the scope serial number…..
