Did you check eBay? It's usually a good indicator of highest market value, especially for pre-owned.

I can't remember the model....

 

[Armoreason]

Ohhhh... That's gonna be tough sorry. If you send detail pics to Leupold, they might help ID it?

 

[Saffir]

The serial number will be enough for Leupold to identify what you have there. Knowing is half the battle.

 

[RobMa]

I think I found it
Leupold Mark 4 LR/T 3.5×10 M3

 

[RobMa]

In the article it says it'll run people about $1150, when it was being sold of course.
Since I technically never used it how much do you think I could realistically ask for it?

 

[Saffir]

If it's real, I'd say a fair price (my opinion, not fact) would be $800-$900. Be careful of counterfeit versions of that scope though. You don't show any pics of the markings/serial number on the bottom of the scope or the Leupold logo on the parallax cap (left side). You can google online to see pics of real vs counterfeit. Not saying that's what you have but if you're not sure of the scopes provenance and don't have the box or paperwork, I'd definitely check the S/N with Leupold to be safe.

 

[RobMa]

Yes I'm going to do that, but I bought it brand new from a friend of mine that owns Federal Way discount guns so I'm pretty sure it's legit and it does have the Leopold symbol and serial number where they are supposed to be, I just did not want to put the serial number in the picture.

 

[Saffir]

Then it looks like you've got yourself a very fine scope there indeed! Congrats!

 

[RobMa]

Do you know what I'll go ahead and take a picture of the logo, that's not a big deal.

 

[Saffir]

If you bought it brand new, then it's worth every penny of the $1150. I assumed it was used. My bad.

 

[RobMa]

I was going to put it on a RPR that has a 20 MOA base, I was going to use a 0MOA spuhr mount for it but decided to go with a different scope that can get me out a little farther.

You can easily shoot 1k yds with 10x no problem on steel silhouettes but 10x can be a little limiting identifying small targets at that distance. Heck, the military used 10x scopes for years to good effect on long range targets but nothing wrong with more power either!

Just checked eBay for sold listings with that model. Definitely worth $$$.

 

[RobMa]

Just posted some new pictures for verification, plus I guess the turret goes all the way up to 800 yards..

The higher priced ones are the illuminated version though. The one at the bottom $1158 is the non illuminated version and is inline with what the OP has.

 

[Armoreason]

Yup, the range is from about 900+ for those, wasn't sure which was which.

Yep, you got yourself a legitimately good scope there. Definitely looks to be the real deal based on the added pics.
