I realize that Leupold has changed the way their vari-x II's are labeled over the years. Also, I think I might have read once that there are slight differences- maybe in the coatings. I was wondering about a particular scope though. On the objective bell ahead of the gold ring, it says "VARI-X IIc 3-9x40 mm". So, what's with the "c" designation after the vari-x II? Does that lower case "c" mean anything? Any idea exactly how old/what generation this scope is? It also says "Leupold on the side of the turret housing, and a serial number with "made in usa" on the bottom of the turret housing if any of that helps. Also, this is a gloss finished scope if that matters.

from a quick search... It denotes a design change that increased the amount of elevation and windage adjustments, around 1984. Edited by Smokey53119 - January/28/2010 at 20:43 |

Anyone know how long they designated them with the c? This particular scope doesn't have a mark on it, like it should be nearly new...
