Leupold M7 - 3X Scope
Dave
tried to find some info on it and hit a brick wall pretty quickly. Does
anybody know anything about this scope i.e. value, age ?
TIA

has referred to a line of products called M8-XX, but M7 is a new one on
me. Post the markings and we'll try to figure it out. - CW

the early '80's (maybe about 1980 even), just when I was getting ready
to buy one for my 375 H&H. They are great scopes. I eventually found
one and then later a second. If you have a need for a lower power scope
for pratical hunting applications, you have found a gem. Buy it, mount
it, enjoy it.

It's old and out of production, I'll tell you that much... but probably
still supported by Leupold. They'll check-out and recharge (with dry
nitrogen gas) any scope more modern than the oldest named models, no
charge.
I would send it in, get it back, mount it up and use it!
Ken.

The only other marking is the serial #.
Thanks

but no sign of an M7. I suggest you send an email to Leupold customer
service. They are very helpful with these kind of questions. - CW

Charles Winter is correct-you should write or email Leupold. I owned a M7 3X
for a short while and contacted Leupold. They told me that the M7 series
preceeded the M8 and did not feature the Leupold Golden Ring as that was
introduced with the M8. They also told me the scope I bought had been returned
to the factory for overhaul and the optices had been upgraded to current
standard.

can return your old scope and for a modest fee, they will upgrade it
with new optics (more advanced coatings) or a different reticle. - CW

Their customer service is amazing. I had to return a scope to them,
twice, and each time they got it back in my hands a WEEK after I mailed
it! that's counting mailing, both ways. Granted, I live in the same
state as them, but still... pretty good.
Burris has had a scope of mine for over 3 weeks and counting...
