FOR MANY DECADES I HAD A GUN SHOP. EVERY SUMMER I WOULD

VACATION BY TOURING A DIFFERENT FIREARM RELATED MANUFACTURING

PLANT. ONE YEAR I WENT TO JIM LEATHERWOOD'S. JIM GAVE ME A WALK

AROUND AND I BOUGHT A SCOPE. TOOK IT HOME AND PUT IT AWAY. MANY

YEARS LATER I TOOK A NEW LOOK AT IT AND DIDN'T LIKE THE ''SPARKLES''

ON THE LENS. I PHONED JIM AND HE SAID, ''SHIP IT HOME, I'LL SEND ANOTHER

ONE, PICKED BY ME''. I DID, HE DID...AND IT HAS BEEN IN A BOX FOR A FEW

MORE DECADES. I'M NOW REAL OLD, I DON'T THINK IT IS GOING TO BE USED.

THE PRICE I ASK FOR IS LESS THAN WHAT I HAVE IN IT. AFTER EBAY-PAYPAL-

SHIPPING COSTS I WILL HAVE LOST...BUT, IT NO LONGER MATTERS TOO MUCH.

THE ONLY ''PRINTING'' ON THE SCOPE IS: LEATHERWOOD SN 004677 3X9X40.
