    Hi
    I just bought one from KEENS GUNS it was marked up for £359 and they knocked of £30, i thought i done ok untill i looked on here . got on the blower and told them and they were having none of it telling me the ones on here must be grey imports or Chinese copies and the warranties would be void. I was gutted, well p....d off One good thing is i love the scope, i have an MTC Mamba and Viper and i personally prefer the Legend over the them, its excellent.

    I got mine from my local shop a few weeks ago, which was sourced from the u.k importers/distributors, and I paid £170, however, they may have gone up around 20% now, due to the weak pound.

    Far too many rifles & pistols to mention here.

    Jesus H........you were ripped off. The one I have is a UK import with registration card etc and cost £139 delivered next day. If its a copy, then they went to a lot of trouble to fake the box, the paperwork, the warranty card and even the little legend label that was hanging the turrets. No I can assure you, these are UK models with UK warranty. Your local gunshop have royally ripped you off big style and they must have laughed their heads off after you walked out the door.

    I had a Legend when they first came out a few years back, and they were really the first ones that had really decent optics at a fair price, I paid £150 new and got another for £100 secondhand as new off here

    I think the MTCs beat them mainly because of better rets and side PA, I dont like the thickish crosshairs on the 5-15 Legend, but I also have a 3-9x40 Legend which has std duplex and it is one of the best 3-9x40 I have ever used

    As for comparing the Legend 5-15 to the Pentax Lightseeker, come on now that is a bit of a different league, also you are comparing a sub £200 scope to a £600+ model, I have Lightseeker 8-32 on a long range rifle and can see bullet holes at 500yds, you wont get that performance with the Legend, good as it is

    And the Legends are good scopes at good prices no doubt about that

    If you bought it on credit card I would think you'd have some recourse?! People on here might know better.

    That price you should be looking at 3200 to 4200 series...

    Paid £120 for my legend second hand (as new) with Butler Creek caps. Very happy with it.
