value on vintage optics ?

Bushnell Scopechief 22 3x-9x 20 mm
But on the scope itself it says 3x-8x and has "No. F120256" which may be a serial number?
After I posted this I found one here that didn't seem to be there before. I'm watching it, but would still like opinions on value with the box and paperwork.

I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

box is NOT for that scope neither is the paperwork . paperwork has Command post your scope does not your box is scopechief IV with rings your scope has mounts for 3/8 groove receiver. your scope is scopechief 22
I had one on a Stevens 87a and it was a great combo.
I agree that the box does not match.
Interestingly, I got a 22 Mossberg 352ka in about 1957, and it had that 20mm rimfire scope on it. The gun and scope were burgled in 2004, then recovered after 19 months under a bush in the woods, and the scope actually found quickly under attic insulation after a sheriff's warranted search. I would say that 20 mm is better than the typical 3/8 rimfire scopes you get today. Imho worth $45.
Thanks to everyone for your input. I figured $50 would be top dollar for this scope but I wasn't sure if there was any collector's market for optics.
Lot of Bushnell scopes, show up on fleabay. You might check over there periodically, to get an idea of what they are selling for on the collectors market.
