Nice auction scope find

[gatornick]

I am working out of state this week, so I went to an auction last night to kill some time and came home with this beauty. The auction was a sporting goods auction where they sell new stuff that are customer returns or display models. So I took a chance at $7.50 on a box that I thought was a seat to hold a baby on the back of a bicycle. Turns out the box had no baby seat, but it was full of random stuff. Best part was this was in the bottom of the box. The tag says it is defective because it is shaky. I have checked it out thoroughly, and it is perfect! I also looked up Leupolds warranty and it has a lifetime warranty even if you aren't the original purchaser, so either way I got a nice scope. It is a VX-1 3-9x50mm. Not their top of the line, but pretty sweet for 7 bucks. I have been looking into getting into hunting, so this is a good start I think.

I'll give ya $10 and tell you some "no shit" hunting stories...

Seriously, that's a hot smoking deal. Leupold is pretty good about warrantying thir stuff...who knows?

Time n money well spent.

Anybody wanna jack this thread from our current auction format to a nice KARMA?

If so, I'm in at 222.

Well I spent all last night researching new rifles. I think this box might end up costing me a lot more than 7.50.

Damn good score on that scope..even if it had a tag stating defective..send it in. Leupold has lifetime warranty on all their scopes no matter how old(that box looks like the current run)..
