well went to the local c&e gun show figured it would be the usual BS so was just looking for a few odds and ends. low a behold i see a lupy mk4 16x sitting in a case with alot of other optics lupys Bushnells tascos and so forth i figured this thing has to be a fake. so i ask to see it. to my surprise it wasnt it had clear glass no scratches and seem to be well taken care of u can tell it had been mounted but not ring indentations.football stile mil dots knobs felt nice and tight and a set of the old butler creek caps (the good ones). i asked the guy where it came from he told me it was on a big heavy barreled 300winmag that some one had traded in i said cool. so then time to ask price he said 350 dollars i handed him the cash and walked out with a huge grin.

Congrats on your find. A gun show is the last place I would expect to find a good long scope. I occasionally see a real EOTech or Trijicon, and LOTS of Chinese made stuff at these shows.
 
Re: lucky day at the local gun show

what dealer was it? i haven't really seen anyone but Kopter have decent scopes at the CE shows...

you might want to call/e-mail luey with the serial number to verify it is a genuine article.

Re: lucky day at the local gun show

Thats a great deal.

I once traded a Frakenstein AR-15 upper that I had for a brand new never fired Arsenal SA M-7 classic.

I was walking around with my upper hanging out of a back pack and the saleman behind the table asked what I wanted for it. I gave him my price and he started to lowball me. We could not agree on a price so he asked if there was something on the table that I would be willing to trade for. I looked and low and behold a NIB Arsenal limited edition SA M-7 classis was sitting at the end of the table.

After he ridiculously lowballed me for the upper, and recongnizing that he had no idea what the AK was worth, I offered the upper and a small amount of cash.

Walked with the AK and still have it. Depending on the political current at times I've seen them go for upwards of $3K.
