Fake Leupy Mk 4?

Asking if anyone has seen "unmarked" Leupold Mk 4s? It was green in color and totally unmarked except for "3.5 ~ 10" on the objective lens.

I know about the phoney Mk 4's, but they had serial numbers on the turrets and such. Seemed like a pretty nice scope even if is bogus. $400, but didn't buy it.

Yep last gun show here (Australia) dealer had them at his table. His sale pitch was made in the same factory as Leupold but just resold to us poor old aussies with no markings on them. The box and packaging was exactly like the leuplod box.

He also had leupold marked ones..

Dam chinese knock offs.

My mate ended up getting two of the mark4's with leupold markings.. The first one last three rounds of 7.62. The second one is still going on a 556.

When he tried to get warranty guess what.....FAKE...

I enjoyed the part of..I told you so... reminds me must ring him again and say Hi by the way I told you not to buy that scope.

What sort of a dealer at a gun show sells Leupold scopes half price.. Most times they jack the price up not reduce it. If its to good to be true..hows the rest of that saying go>??

Chinese optics suck.

I am not at all surprised they've started making fake name scopes now, too.
