    hi guys.
    I used this for airsofting but a little research showed that its a clone of the leupold real deal but still used on "budget" rifles. if there is such a thing :)
    Its still in perfect order, illumination goes through 11 levels.
    to be honest, it is far too advanced to put on an airsoft rifle, but still looks the part.

    Not wishing to come across as a pr1ck but surely he title of your advert should read as "Fake Leupold 3.5-10 x 50 illuminated scope".

    Personally I think fakes should be destroyed.

    thats all well and good. and you are entitled to your opinion, but its a scope like the leupold and it wasnt sold to me with fake in the title.
    Real Leupolds are approx. 1000 euro to buy. this was 300. Its a bit to advanced for airsoft which as i said i do. Based on that, I dont know too much about scopes or shooting real steel guns. Im just offering it to someone who may be a bit tight for cash and isnt morally opposed to clone scopes or "fakes" as you call them. I have no problem hanging on to it if nobody likes it, but as far as I can tell, it does the same thing i.e magnify image.
    Perhaps it was intended for collectors of airsoft guns, or as a display piece, I do not know. Had interest on airsoft ads so may as well try here too while im at it.

    Hi Yoshimitsu
    as I said, I didntwant to come across as a pri...... But two things.
    A mate of mine was sold a "leopold" which turned out to be a €50 eBay knock off, so fair play to you for being open and saying straight out that it's a fake. It pisses me off when people try to sell a pig in a poke.
    Secondly ... Magnification is for binoculars! , it's all about holding a zero and clarity when it comes to rifle scopes. "Holding a zero" being the more important of the two.
    The difference between holding a zero or not is the difference between a hit, a miss or worse still a wounded animal !!!!!.
    Again apologies for coming across as a pr1ck but maybe place the advert with airsoft .
    Good luck with the sale

    nah dont worry about it mate. You are not coming across as a pri... id be prety peeved if that happened to me. yeah its on airsoft ads now. Must be that price where its too cheap for real steels and too much for RIFs. No bother though. I quite like it on my ""guns"" anyway.
    Did not mean to piss of lads with guns on this thread ^^ but in all honesty, I expected to be called a noob for crossing rifles with airsoft. Thanks for not flamin me on that.
    Again, appologies guys, I thaught it would have been pretty decent on a rifle.
