    Ok just need a quick bit of advice..

    My friend has offered me a leupold Vx-III 4.5-14x50.
    The scope is practically brand new with box.

    He is asking for 400 euro is this a fair price??

    just be carefull to check it's a genuine one there are quite a few knock off ones around check the leupold website for details on how to check if it's fake

    leupold 4.5-14x50
    One of the best scopes out there.
    Those scopes have a lifetime warranty
    400 euro is a very good price.

    Any more like that, at that price, out there I wonder ?

    The friend had it on a remmy .308. He wasn't using it tho he is waiting for his new custom 25-06 to be built and has a Burris black diamond for it! He only sold his old custom 25-06 last month!

    Delighted with the deal ne way! :D

    I checked and it's genuine! And he is a friend so if it was fake he would have no problem taking it back, really happy with it now just need to find time to see how the rifle is firing!

    Yes 400 is very fair. I bought a 2nd one from Paul O'Halloran. It was in absolute mint condition. I gave 550 for it.
