RE: Leupold,New or Old
Record the serial numbers, then ask Leupold when they were made!! I suspect they' d tell you. Vari-X III' s are NOT a recent arrival! I have a 2.5X-8X Vari-X III that I bought in 1976 for a Ruger No. 1V .25/' 06 " Liberty Model" , which I bought the same day I bought the scope. However, they did change the adjustments from the " friction lock" type to the " click" type later, but not this year! It was at least five or more years ago when that change was made.
