Rifle Scopes Possible fake Leupold Mark 4 spotted.

[sig-226]

I have a question about a scope for sale on a very popular gun auction web site. It is being sold, or rather auctioned, as a Leupold Mark 4. Many of the features in the provided pictures seem to prove that it is a definite fake. I would like the collective knowledge of you guys to confirm or refute my suspicion. It is Gunbroker.com auction #246974669.

Yup, that’s no Leupold. White lettering- check, no gold medallion- check, not one but two windage knobs... yeah, Leupold don’t do that, nor are distances printed on the PA knob.

I don't think the seller knows it is a fake. It looks off in every single picture. It doesn't seem like he is trying to hide the indicators.
