Leatherwood scope value?

I have come across an ad that says "Older Leatherwood ART MPC scope with like new M-14/M1A mount". The mount is the type that uses a mounting block that replaces the stripper clip guide. It goes on to state that the scope is a 3-9 power and in great condition.

The asking price is $400.00. I would like to get something like this for my M1A, but I am not very familiar with these mounts or prices for this stuff. I know there are several kinds of mounts and I think this is one of the better ones.

I would appreciate any opinions on the value or design/quality of these items. Thanks in advance for any help.

    I would ask, How old is older??? You can buy the Leatherwood scopes NEW at Cabela's and Sportsmensguide for under $265.00 And I have seen the M1A /M14 scope mount for about $35-$40 new. But not the SA mount, Just a look a like.[:)] The older ART I and ART II scopes had ring cams that you need to change for different calibers. And the new scopes just have the one cam.[:)]

    The "older" Leatherwood scope certainly has no collector value. Buy new, and look at higher quality, such as Burris, Leupold or Nikon.
