Warning with pics: Counterfeit Chinese Leupolds

[LRRPF52]

Folks,

I just wanted to keep my fellow horde up-to-speed about some of the nefarious and slimy practices by our friends on the other side of the pond. A guy brought one of these into a local gun store to show what's out there. The illumination is the first giveaway, then the turret feel (no clicks can be felt). The price is also a huge giveaway. They went as far as to copy the Leupold medallion, and have "Leupold" engraved all over the thing.

Make no mistake: This is airsoft-grade garbage with sunglasses image appearance.

Buyer be ware, if it's to good to be true, it' to good to be true.

Thanks for the heads-up.
