Wondering the dates leupold made (GMG) gun metal gray scopes. Looking for a VX 111 3x5x10x40mm with B/C reticle. I think they began in 2005 with two, the VX 111 3.5x10x40mm & VX 111 4.5x14x40mm. They are sure hard to find. Thanks

Thanks for the gratuity scrumbag. I know the letter at the end of leupold serial number is the date of manufacture. So far I've seen the letters P (2005) thru the letter U (2009). They are so hard to find I was wondering if was the last date they were made. Apparently not many were made. There was a nice VX 111 4.5x14x40mm NIB on evilpay. Winning bid was $1050! For me the lowest setting 4.5 is to high for close shots on deer. Want to mount it on a SS Rem 700 '06.

I was wrong on the previous post about Leupold dates. In 2005 the letter in the serial number is N not P. The P indicates 2006. Need new googles I guess. Still wonder if that was the last date Leupold made the GMG VX-111's. I asked Leupold but never got an answer. Top secrete I bet. I'll find one eventually I hope. Rob
