Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

I went to local gunshop this eve and noticed a bunch of the Leupold scopes with red paint splatter on them. I also noticed a gun they had(didnt know what it was) that the stock also had the red paint splattering to match the scope. You could tell it wasnt done at the gunshop, I didnt get what they were trying to do.

Have any of you guys seen these? They were on different models. I didnt think it looked that good and wasnt sure what the deal was, Yal know?

Well thanks for all the help Pig. I learned alot.

Let me help you. See this site if for people to ask question on gun related topics and hope someone with some intelligence has the info you are looking for. Discussing new models of guns\scopes is part of the fun.

The Leupold Custom shop offers a variety of finishes. That may be where the scope came from anyway. I've seen some websites offer the splattered kind on sale.

What amazes me is a older man like magnumman/pighunter56 is so immature to post a stupid post like this. I

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

I seems like an odd paint scheme to come out of a custom shop. Did you ask the gun shop what the deal was? I would expect to see something like that on a speed gun or maybe a sporting clays gun but having it on the scope is just strange.

Maybe they were painting the store and they got sprayed on accident.:D

Duckbutter48-

Beware of Pighead56... he just likes to agitate whom ever he can.

Your question is valid and warrants an answer. I have never seen this in any gun shop Ipatronize however, you could give the Leupold guys a call and inquire as to the red splatters. They may give you an answer right then and there.
I also do alot of flyfishing and the Abel reel company has started doing this to their fly reels for about 2 years now. Wild paint schemes to appeal to those wishing to be unique!
If you call Leupold, leave a post with their answer. I'm curious now that you mentioned it.

I'll call the shop on Monday when they open. You could tell this was a factory paint scheme it looked to be mixed in with the normal black more then just splattered on. It was on LPS scopes, VX 2's and 3's. They are a pretty big Leupold dealer and have about 100 Leupolds behind counter, maybe 20 were out of the boxes with new paint scheme.

I have seen this paint scheme from Leupold in some brochures and would interested in what you find out...:eek:

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

If you check out the custom shop at the leupold website it should show colors etc and info about custom scope colors etc. I got one of them myself, aVX-IIthat is splattered white, tan and black and matches thecolor of the laminate stock. Was looking for a regular matte Lupe but they had this one for sale at the same price so why not. In fact theyhad a whole bunch of them which made me think they were not that unusual. Hope it helps.

Yup the circus is back in town. Sorry to hear he hasn't taken my advice to bite on the barrel. The moron is so predictable, funny thing is he always responds to his posts from another one of his personalities.

Duckbutter, They might be closed....it's MLK Jr Day tomorrow.

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

I called the shop and they said it just something new from Leupold. They have grey paint and red paint schemes on the scopes. They said other places should start having them. They were just included in their last shipment nothing they specifically ordered from the custom shop. The place is called Hendershots and its in Hancock Md.

IMO I thought they were ugly but we all know what opinions are like.

Duckbutter:
Now you have got me curious,If you find out the reason for the strange guns,will you post it please.

Thanks
Bill

Its just not marketed at hunters. More of the target crowd/tactical crowd (or varmint crowd). No different than sporting clays shotguns with pink stocks (ref: my girlfriend). Just not designed for stealth...because for the folks that buy that sort of thing, its not about stealth, its about standing out.

Thanks for reminding me

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

Yea nothing like rare paintnscheme on a scope thats says "Hey look at me, I overpaidby more then100$ for this Leupold" JK


You are prob right, didnt think of that.

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

Duckbutter48,

Gald to hear Hendershots is still open. I used to go thereback in the late 70's. They had a great selection and prices at that time.

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

i first saw them on leupold's website and i like them myself. i don't see the red sticking out though? animals can't see color so actually it would make them more camoflauge than the regular matte scopes.

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

where can i take a look at these scopes you are talking about??

RE: Is Leupold on Meds( should they be)?
 

www.leupold.comand look around. i can't remember exactly what style of scope they are under.
