You guys probably remember when all of the counterfeit Leupolds were every where. Of course China was making some of the parts that went into some or the Leupolds. The story is that some of the people who worked for scope manufacturers in China got together and went to the Chinese government and asked " can we start making Leupold scopes?"
The Chinese government said "sure go for it". That is the mindset of the Chinese government. Do we really think that they are out friends? They are parasitic.
They(Chinese cummunist party) have been cyber hacking glodal governments & businesses for ages, steeling designs & sensitave material for their own gain for years.
We just had a major cyber attack here 3 weeks ago.
The problem here in Australia as we relly on their business for our exports & our stupid goverments lets Chinese interests (which are Chinese state backed!) buy our companies & infrastructure which is absolute stupidity & wrong!!
One of out political parties were just raided by our version of the FBI/home affairs(or similar) for links to the Chinese cummunist party.
I have zero doubt they want to take over the world so get ready!!
1. You buy the fake on Ebay
2. You file a claim that it's a fake
3. The faker doesn't want to pay return shipping
4. You get your $ back and keep the scope
5. Give it to some kid for his 22. They work fine for that.
Screw the Commies, help a kid !
Yeh fakes of all knids are getting very hard to tell from the real, & even know of one major store(remain unamed) had been stung on selling fake chinese scopes as real, unknowingly so thats how close they were to the real thing.
Ive got a fake Atlas BT10 LW-17 which I know what it was when I got it.
Its very very close to the real thing as I have a real version, put them side by side & you wouldnt know EXCEPT the fakes markings are are different & it doesnt have a serial number.
Most sellers will attack words like "style" or similar.
But if your parting with your $$ & expect it to be real then you had better do your homework before pressing the buy button!!
