This has been going on for years, especially on flea bay, at least they're now giving examples of how to spot one (apart from the poor glass quality) :goodjob:

Slightly off topic, but if you follow the link then click on the way to spot one by the Objectiove Lens, why the hell would you mount a scope like that on the carry handle of an AR?? There must be 3-4" of height difference between the bore and crosshairs :G

This has been around for a long time.

Be careful out there.

But please be cautious about accusing others of selling fake gear. Some Mark 4 scopes do not have a medallion, nor do they have markings on the objective.

I had a long and awkward battle on another board with 'so-called experts' who had read about it on the interweb and kept insisting my scope was a fake. They still wouldn't believe it even when Leupold Technical support verified it as genuine.....there are some right idiots out there.

I LIKE the idiots....sometimes at least

The main time I liked them was when a Mark 4 scope I had bid on on Ebay became the attention of the armchair experts, resulting in all the bidders higher than me cancelling their bids!!
Won the auction for about a third of the UK RRP for the scope = result!!
