Optics WTB: Leupold Mark 5HD 3.6-18x44 Model 173301 (Illuminated TMR Reticle)

[rustyinbend]

If anyone has this specific model sitting around collecting dust and looking for a home ... I'm shopping for one.

BDU sells these for $1,858 (new) ... so I'd be expecting pricing that is meaningfully better than that.

If nothing shakes loose from you guys in the next few days, I'll buy a new one.

The leupold vip program works for retired military too and the price is better than what you listed on here. Might be worth looking in to.

How do I do that? Is there a secret handshake or something? Got a link to that program ???

Just figured it out and submitted a copy of my DD214 ... hoping for an AMAZING discount to compensate me for my 16 years of USMC "craziness".

I got one. Pm sent.

I hear it takes forever to actually get what you buy. Like....months. Any truth to that ?

I have a illum TMR 3.6-18 if you are still looking

Haven't heard a peep yet ... except for the confirmation ... but it's only been a few days.

 

[LongTatLaw]

Please let me know.

 

[rustyinbend]

Please let me know.

Will do ... you can "experience the journey" along with me.

 

[LongTatLaw]

Lol ok

Last time I ordered through the .mil pricing program it took 4 weeks, but that was 2 years ago. Not a terrible wait for the deal & nowhere near as bad as NF who tells you up front it will take a couple months.

 

[LongTatLaw]

I can live with 4 weeks

I ordered a Mk4 spotter with TMR reticle via the program a couple months back. It shipped the same day that I ordered. The sales lady said that the non Horus stuff in most cases ships pretty quick.

I have a DPP coming. It took a just under a week to ship.

Mark 5 HD 5-25x56 (TMR-Illuminated) ordered via VIP Program ... August 18
Shipped today via UPS (just got the notice) ... August 28
Should have it in-hand late next week.
10 Days from Order-to-Ship ... not "super fast", but also not "super slow". I can live with that given the huge discount from this program.

Decided on the higher magnification version ... because of the great price.

I've bought and sold several items here, all with great results.

What is the discount like under the Leupold veteran program? I just submitted my application today.

It's against the rules to share the details of the discount program, but if you submitted your application you'll know soon enough. I will say Leupold has one of the better discounts out there, but they better because they over inflate their MSRP by a considerable margin!

Big Daddy Unlimited ... HERE .... usually has the best online pricing. That said, the manufacturer's Veteran/LE pricing is better.
