[QUOTE="CatShooter, post: 1300392, member: 7"] It is from the original Redfield Company (there were several retries when the original went TU). It is a "5 Star Accurange". It was the top of the Redfield hunting scope line. When you turn the elevation turret, a little wedge appears in the lower part of the field (around 4 o'clock). It has numbers from 200 to 400 (or 500). You read the range by the lower number at the edge of the field. The reticle is made of two horizontal lines that are "22 inches" apart, meaning that you bracket the body of a deer (or a coyote from foot to back) between the two lines and you read the number that appears in the lower, 4 o'clock position of the field. They were popular in the 60's and a few were made in green and sent to Viet Nam. They were very good scopes for the time. [/QUOTE]
