I went to my local range today to test a few loads though my 5R. It was pretty nice since I was the only one there. As I was finishing up another guy from the area who I did not know showed up. We started talking and he asked me if the scope on my rifle was a Leupold Mark 4, it is. He then asked me to look at his "Mark4". He had already been informed by a friend that his was a counterfit. He seemed to know his stuff just did not know Mk4's and was not aware that fakes were floating around. Traded for it at a gun show. Needless to say his is pissed and stuck with it as he says he will not pass it on to someone else.
