Have a question on your T-99 which you matched with the original scope. Is the scope sighted in? Take the bolt out and bore sight it at something and see if the scope lines up. Just curios to see if it is sighted in.
The question was asked why the matching scopes aren't still on the original rifle they were captured with. My theory is, when a rifle was captured, probably by front line troops, they couldn't carry the rifle around with them very easily but they could remove the scope and carry it easily. Some other GI would come and pick up the rifle later for a souvenir. GI's also might have removed the scope to use it like a binocular.
