[QUOTE="bruce_ventura, post: 791592, member: 34084"] I struggled with the gimmicky Accu-Ranger reticle on the Revenge scopes - not my cup of tea. I preferred the simpler BDC reticle on the Revolution scopes. One thing I forgot to mention. Both scope lines use a two-piece tube construction. There is a seam at the front of the turret housing. This cost-cutting measure is also used by Leupold in their Rifleman line sold at Wallmart. The two halves of the two-piece tube are not truly coaxial, which can lead to mechanical stress and point-of-aim instability. Lapping the rings doesn't remove stress in a two-piece tube. I think that Burris Signature rings would be the best mounts for these scopes. Other cost cutting seems to be in coatings (not fully multicoated) and the erector tube (limited zoom range and optical aberrations). While these features are not fatal flaws, they put the Redfield scopes a notch below others on your list. You get what you pay for. [/QUOTE]
