Leupold M8-4X Rimfire special Scope - Brand New Old Stock - never mounted - perfect

[LEADLUBBER]

Sold


I have a beautiful, virtually perfect condition, never mounted Leupold M8 - 4X RF special (rimfire special) scope with a parallax focus at 75 yards. It is clear as a bell and wonderfully made. This is not a common scope to find, much less to find one never even used or mounted without a mark on it, and built with the old world Leupold Quality and value.

Hey Lead,

Do you know the Retail Price? Kinda like to know what kind of Savings? Is this scope still being made?

Here is the info on the current Leupold offering: https://www.leupold.com/scopes/rimfi...rimfire-4x28mm

A four x scope is a great option for just about any caliber and this one would be a definate plus for .22, I would be all over this if I didn't have an over abundance of scopes!

The M8s are no longer in production.
They are great scopes. I have a couple.
I think the new fixed power long eye relief Leupold scopes are goin for around $350+....dale

OK,

I appreciate the good info posted above, I have to decide whether or not to upgrade my 22H glass!

Thanks, Mac

Thanks to all for the help on this! I had a long, tough day today, and without much signal at all to even try and look at the forum until now.

As Dale2242 said, the M8’s haven’t been available new for quite a long time now. I agree with him also that the M8’s are excellent quality. I think the glass on this one is better than the VX-III series new scopes by far. I turned a newer VX-III With a much larger objective and set to 4X, and this older M8 rimfire Special was truly brighter and sharper.

If I could find and afford a sweet CZ 452 full stock with gorgeous wood, I would already have installed it on one. Money being tight and bills always need to be paid means that I can only do so much at this stage in life.

Found this on another forum from a quick search if it helps others.
There seems to be different versions of the M8, someone posted a 33mm lens? Info below was posted as M8x4x

To the OP, Leadlubber, you might want to confirm 28mm lens ?

These are from a 1985 catalog if that helps.

unrestricted Obj. lens diam = 28mm(1.1")
unrestricted eye lens diam = 36mm(1.4")
Objective O.D. diam = 36mm(1.4")
Eyepiece O.D. diam = 41mm(1.6")
Tube diam = 25mm(1")
Length = 290mm(11.4")
Weight = 241grams(8.5oz)
Eye relief =11.2 mm(4.4”)

Google is your friend (sometimes)!
