I bought this new in December, only to realize that I already had one.  Doh.

It's NIB, never mounted, with everything.
The highest quality IER optic for Scout rifles. 

Great info at:

Midway, SWFA, and OpticsPlanet list them for $299.
Yours for only $249.

Boston,
Will the scope work for the M1 Garand with the setup shown here?

Hi Seniortech,

It absolutely will work for an M1.  Here's a photo of exactly this Leupold scope on an Ultimak:

It really dresses up the fine old M1.
Use either Leupold QRW or Warne QD rings for convenience.

While I don't have an Ultimak mount, I do have one from www.amegaranges.com, and love it :

The Amegaranges mount is $15 less, and I think better made (from having handled the Ultimak).
The Amega's mounting system seems superior, also:

P.S.  For those with an M1A or Norinco/Polytech M14S, I have a Springfield Armory Scout mount for sale:
