I know: necroposting.

Sorry. It's relevant.

Do all ScopeChief II have the II on the side?

I have a ScopeChief with the command post, but it doesn't have the II on the side.

I have another ScopeChief with command post on the way, but the pictures don't show a II next to the name.

Both are 4x32mm, for mid-50s Savage 99s [.300 and .308]. Period correct.

So, did any pre-ScopeChief IIs have the command post? Do all of the IIs have II on the side?

Trying to figure this out.

I like more power in scopes, but a 4x is a decent hunting scope for up to 200-250 yards. My longer shots would be on a Mauser, with an 8-32x50 scope.

I also noticed the reticle seemed off-center on one of them, but then I noticed the front base on one of my model 99s seems to have been drilled 'just a little off-center'. It is adjustable, but still not perfectly aligned.

Fun rifles and these scopes work well enough to bring meat: just need more power for punching paper to attempt MOA improvements.
