[QUOTE="FEENIX, post: 429760, member: 14204"] Another vote for the Redfield. Did comparison with Nikon, both are good scopes but for my old eyes and style of hunting /shooting, Redfield is my preference. [IMG]http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f258/lara3ec/downsize.jpg[/IMG] Price is not too shabby either. (C&P - excerpt from an article) [I] The [URL="http://www.redfieldsite.org/"]original Denver, Colorado based Redfield[/URL] shut down in 1998 after a string of environmental problems. The Redfield name is now owned by former competitor Leupold, the name was passed around from optics company to optics company for the past decade. For a while they were essentially higher end Weaver scopes, made in Japan. [/I] [I] For 2010 Leupold has reintroduced [URL="http://www.redfield.com/"]Redfield[/URL] scopes in the new Revolution lineup, re-using some old Redfield terminology like Illuminator to describe the lenses. The new scopes are one piece, the MSRP is quite close to the selling price (unlike Leupold's VX-III scopes), and they are priced in the same range as Leupold's VX-I scopes. Lenses are multicoated, not fully multicoated, meaning a combination Multicoated lens or lenses (usually the external ones) and single coated. One unique Redfield feature is the Accu-Range Reticle, for ranging and lost distance shooting. Leupold is offering a lifetime warrany on their Redfield optics products (but not Electronics). Time will tell if these are good scopes, but they now come from a company with a solid reputation for both products and service. [/I] [I] The 2010 introductory lineup consists of 2-7x33mm, 3-9x40mm, 3-9x50mm, and 4-12x40mm scopes. [/I] Good luck! Ed [/QUOTE]
