They've been out for a while.
My old boss bought one. I knew it was off as soon as I saw it. Weight wasn't right. Leupold has a webpage dedicated to them. http://www.leupold.com/resources/counterfeit-warning/ |

not the one i have seen previously. that guy was in south ga, (cordele, i think) and didn't have pictures.you'd think for $800, he'd at least tell you what power his scope is!
I think the bogus one I saw was a 4x12 |

There's a certain outfitters store in Adel that had two of them in stock along with a fake prismatic last year. They knew they were fake and didn't care til someone made a few phone calls. They disappeared pretty quick after that.
Y'all know that selling these is a felony right? |

If you look through the fakes against a white background - normally you can see imperfections in the clarity.
