Stith/Kollmorgen Bear Cub II - 05/22/19
I recently bought a Kollmorgen Stith Bear Cub II 7/8" scope for a 7/8" Stith mount for a Savage 99. I was holding out for a Lyman Alaskan, but this was about $200+ cheaper and has excellent optics, so I went this route. I did some searching on the campfire and only see a few references to it. I am wondering if the Bear Cub II is also referred to as the Bear Cub Deluxe. I've been looking in Nick Stroebel's book and he refers to the 7/8", 2.5x, elevation adjust only scopes as Bear Cub Deluxe. Since the scope is branded with Kollmorgen and Stith, I assume it was made prior to 1956. Maybe Deluxe wouldn't fit on the windage adjustment where it's marked as a Bear Cub II, or is Stroebel's book missing data for the IIs?
