Re: Remington 700 with Leupold scope. To be honest I'm not sure. The serial number is 180661d it that helps in any way. It will say in the gold ring which model it is. I'll pull the scope cover off tonight and see. Thanks for letting me know. VX1 and VXR come in 3-9x50 as well, email Leupold with the serial number, they usually get back to you in a couple of days and will tell you which scope you have and what the warranty is. NIGHTFORCE SERIAL NUMBER??? Discussion in 'Long Range Scopes and Other Optics' started by Dennis_in_VA, Feb 14, 2007. I got a Leupold scope last month directly from the Leupold factory, by way of a relative that works there. I have purchased other Leupold scopes only after calling them to verify the serial number. Caveat emptor.
I read some reviews on the Leupold Mark 6 scope where the authors commented on the reticle illumination not being bright enough for daylight. Based on Leupold's FAQ, the manufacture year is represented by the last character in the serial number sequence, which is a letter:
W = 2012
X = 2013
Y = 2014
My scope ends with a 'Y' and the illuminated reticle is sufficiently daylight bright at level 6 under a midday Texas sun. From your experience, does the illum vary from scope to scope regardless of when it was made or did Leupold improve it?
If the Leupold scope doesn't contain a serial number then it's a good chance the scope is a fake.Always try to ask the seller for the serial number before you purchase the rifle scope. Once you have the serial number, call or email Leupold customer service to verify if the rifle scope is authentic.For more general tactical rifle. Remington never (.) (.) used serial numbers to identify the date of manufacture of it's firearms, they however stamped a date code (spelled out below) by the first letter meaning the month and the last letter the year of manufacture. BARREL DATE CODE - stamped exposed on LH top rear of barrel after 1920. And more than the above, Leupold manufacturing date codes: Sorry for the formatting but note that everything 1992 and after has the code letter at the end of the serial number Prefix Suffix E = 1974 A = 1993 F = 1975 B = 1994 G = 1976 C = 1995 H = 1977 D = 1996 J = 1978 E = 1997.

I posted a similar warning from Leopold a few weeks ago as well but its always great to have a reminder. |

Guys, I just got back from a trip to China where I visited the underground copy market. I found several vendors selling rifle scopes, red dots, reflex and laser sights. But, the only names I saw on them was Bushnell and BSA. However, when you look at them, you can tell they are not right. One had an illuminated red/green range finder recticle. Bushnell does not sell anything with a range finder recticle. Didn't see any Leupolds. But, it wouldn't be hard for them to copy. When I go back (probably in a month or two), I will definitely look for these. What's weird is guns are not available in China. LEO don't even have a side arm. |

Boy that would be real easy to dupe someone if the price didn't give it away. (Ie. no one would sell a Leupold for less than half its retail price). But, if they charged just about what the real product is going for, who's to know. I've bought products from companies that I'd never heard of before, just because there are so many on line and as long as it has the right words in its description, it will come up in the same search for legitimate products. I guess the deal would be to only buy from a known source like Midway, Brownells, etc. You won't find much cheaper in price anyway. Smithy. |

Leoupolds & Zeiss have been counterfitted before and they will continue to be because of the demand for quality optics. Pretty much everything that's quality made will be counterfitted by lowlife's like these. I had posted a warning on a motorcycle forum about Jet kit's for carburators made by Dynojet that were being counterfitted and sold on...you guessed it, E-Bay! |

Thanks for the warning. This is nothing new. It's been on Leupold's site for several years now. I don't remember what Leupold's were being counterfeited maybe this Mark4 is a new addition . I always buy from a reliable source and avoid Ebay for this reason alone. Once again thanks for the heads up. |

What will China think of next? I saw the warning at a local gun shop and I was quite surprised. It's good to see the word is getting out. |
| June 20th, 2012, 07:43 AM | #14 |
I don't know if it was hereor on another forum, but I remember an ebay retailer who described the scam as such: Vendor would sell legitimate high end scopes, and buyer would complain that the scope is defective and send back a counterfeited copy of the scope in the same box that the original scope was shipped in. Being that Ebay heavily favors the buyers in transaction complaints, the seller gets left holding the bag with a worthless scope. |

I am currently considering getting a Leupold or Weaver scope for my 10/22 and was considering buying from Scopes N More.. Rifle Scopes, Red Dot Sights, Binoculars and Spotting Scopes Has anyone else bought from them..it appears that they are a legitimate authorized dealer..however, that does not mean they don't get scopes thru a distributor.. What do you guys think are the chances of getting a fake from a place like that online is..??? And don't get me wrong..I love midwayusa. but they always have 'blemished' Leupold scopes and lots of them for a discount..seems like a lot of people say they couldn't find a blemish..makes you wonder..not that I wonder about Larry..lol..I wonder if all these outlets could be getting scammed by greedy distributors.. If they all buy direct from the factory then it would seem the only way anyone could get burned is from 'used' or ebay type stuff.. We need to Trump the prc with some tuff-love..lol.. |

Markings: The left side of the barrel is marked '.22 WMR' forward of the rear sight and with eagle over 'N', 'IB' date code and Ulm antler proof mark behind. The left of the receiver is marked with eagle over 'N', '020497', 'HK INC. ARL VA 22201 / HECKLER & KOCH GMBH / OBERNDORF/N MADE IN GERMANY' and 'Mod. HK 300'. The objective bell of the scope is marked '4X RF SPECIAL' twice, the left of the turret housing is marked 'LEUPOLD' in gold, the bottom is marked 'S138865' and the eyepiece is marked with patent numbers and 'MADE IN U.S.A.'.
Barrel Length: 19 1/2'
Sights / Optics: The front sight is a blade pinned to a checkered, ramped base fixed to the front of the barrel. The rear sight is a square-notched leaf dovetailed to a base fixed to the rear of the barrel. The top of the receiver is cut for HK scope mounts and has an HK quick detach mount with rings holding a Leupold 4x Rimfire Special scope with duplex reticle. The scope has clear glass with a few scattered light marks on the body, in about Very Good-Fine condition.
Stock Configuration & Condition: The stock is a one-piece checkered walnut with schnabel forend tip, capped pistol grip with white spacer, monte-carlo comb, serrated black plastic buttplate with white spacer and sling swivels mounted front and rear. The stock has scattered light compressions, scuffs, and drag lines with a couple of these in the checkering. The checkering is sharp outside these marks. There are no chips or cracks. The LOP measures 14 1/8' from the front of the trigger to the rear of the buttplate. The stock rates in about Very Good overall condition.
Type of Finish: Blue
Finish Originality: Original Hindi typing code chart pdf.
Bore Condition: The bore is bright with polygonal rifling. There is no erosion.
Overall Condition: This rifle retains about 97% of its metal finish. The barrel has only light handling marks. The receiver has a few light marks, mostly on the left. The screw heads are lightly tool marked. The markings are clear. Overall, this rifle rates in about Very Good-plus condition.
Mechanics: The action functions correctly. We have not fired this rifle. As with all used firearms, a thorough cleaning may be necessary to meet your maintenance standards.
Box, Paperwork & Accessories: This rifle comes with the installed scope as described and a single 5-round magazine. The magazine has light operational wear with a strong spring and intact feed lips, in about Very Good-Fine condition.
Our Assessment: HK is well known as a high quality manufacturer, but they are better known for military and law-enforcement marketed firearms. They have had a series of sporting rifles which, while lesser known, is of as good or better quality than their other offerings. Perhaps the least well known of these is the model 300, a semi-automatic detachable magazine fed rifle chambered for .22 Magnum. This chambering allows for more power and greater range than other rimfire cartridges, making it a good rifle for both target shooting and small game. This rifle is in Very Good-plus condition with 97% of its metal finish and some light wear in the stock. It comes with a quick-detach HK scope mount and a nice Leupold 4x scope. This is a must-have for an HK collector, but it is also a great sporting rifle that will wreak havoc on the local varmints. Please see our photos and good luck!
CA Legal or CA Private Party Transferable: This rifle can be transferred in California.
