Which Leupold scope is this?

[Mungler]

Okay, the end of the scope says Leupold Miii long range. It's got 3 turrets which are rather "tactical" and target looking.

 

It's a 3.5-10x40 with duplex reticule and a side wheel that looks like some sort of parallax focus adjustment.

 

 

 

 

 

Now, I thought the "Miii" bit meant Mark 3. However, I can't find any sniff of a Mark 3 Leupold looking anything like this.

 

The closest I can find is something called an M3 Mark 4 (Leupold 3.5-10x40 LR/T M3 Mark 4 Duplex 30mm Matte) here:

SO, before I knock this out (it's too tactical for me) can someone please sanity check my deductions. Mind you, I was surprised how bright and clear the optics were and if I could find a use / rifle for it, I'd probably keep it.

that is a very nice scope, the black ring on the objective suggests it it a mk4 but should say so on that ring(have you even bothered looking yet )

the m3 indicates the turret type im guessing its a single turn 1moa per click?

either way i want it

Step into my office and lets see if we can't find you the right finance package to get you into a nice Leupold scope for the weekend Sir.....

It's probably a ching chong ebay fake

[Mungler]

Not a chance. The optics are far too good for that. And yes, I have had plenty of wicky wicky scopes and bipods off the Bay and you can tell a copy immediately.

The turrets look like M1 1/4 MOA per click to me, same as I had put on my 4.5-14x50 VX-III

 

So I'd say it's this:

 

Mark 4 3.5-10x40mm LR/T M1

Here is the counterfeit warning. From your pictures above it looks legit (or at least passes the two parts that we can see).
