My son still has a Redfied Widefield 2-7x on his 7mm Rem Mag that I took off my M-700 .35 Whelen many years ago. I had recycled it off a Savage 99, for which it was way out of proportion. I also had a 4x Redfield that got sold with another rifle that I wish I still had.

"The re-born Redfields are made in Oregon, which is part of the United States."

There are times, I would say, that those living in the Peoples Republic of Portland would hate to hear those words.

Many individuals, organizations, manufactureers and companys that start off as innovative and making a real differance in their sector, often decline and crumble. Nevertheless, they make a mark and pave some ground for those that follow. It actually makes me feel good that Leupold, which is on "top of the heap", is showing this kind of honor to the champion that went before. Kudos

I had a Redfield 4x on a marlin 30/30 when I was in high school. Around here at that time that was about as good as a youngster could ever hope for.

Maybe the time has come for their resurgence. MADE IN USA - God bless 'em!

vtbluegrass quote "Forever warranty. Made in America. If the quality is as good as described from this and other reviews I may not buy another Nikon."

I'm sure that's what Leupold is hoping for......

In 1978 I bought a Ruger M77 in .270 and mounted a 2X7 Redfield scope. For over 25 years that was my go to rig. One year I fell part way down an Idaho mountain banging the scope so hard that the windage cap was jammed onto the scope and had to be removed with pliers. I checked the sighting which was still very close and used the rig the next day to take a nice 5X5 bull elk. The last few years the scope has topped my muzzleloader and is still doing the job as well as ever. For us older shooters who watched Redfield scopes go from excellent to junk it is nice to see the Redfield name once again on a quality scope. The fact they are Made In The USA only makes that sweeter yet.

Beekeeper: That is bitter news about the booth babes. I have to go to SHOT anyay.

Dave -

How would you rate this re-vamped Redfield as compared to the Weaver 40/44 that F&S rated so highly last year (for an "budget-conscious" scope)? Thanks.

Dave:

Sounds like an article: "Can you get a decent scope for under $200?" Be fun to get a $200 Weaver or one of these Redfields, stick it on a $300 Marlin or $400 Mossberg or Savage with Weaver mounts, and get in some range time.

I still use my old Redfield Widefield Accu-Trac 3-9X on my Winchester Model 70. You all may remember that Redfield was one of the original scopes to use 2 stadia wire to bracket the deer's brisket to determine distance. Then one just dials in the Accu-Trac knob (elevation adjustment) for the proper yards. It has accounted for many deer.
I sent it to the last company who tried to make a go of the Redfield name and they offered me a so-called deal to buy up to one of their name scopes. If I declined, it was an 8 - 10 week wait for my original Redfield to be serviced. I told them "no thanks, I'll wait 8 - 10 weeks!"
It is not as good in low light as some of the new scopes but I can see well enough to shoot in the last few minutes of legal shooting light.

I thought they were going to come back in on the high end. Guess that didn't figure into Leupold's business model. Oh, well. Good to have the name back, but what next? Ramp upscale? Or replace Leupold low end models?

I have an old Redfield widefield 3-9 i plan on putting on my new rifle. There is no shortage of old ones on Ebay either, still commanding decent money. Glad to see an icon reborn. Glad they are in the affordable quality bracket, I may actually buy one.

I certainly like my Sightron S-II. That big red R on the right side of the Redfield objective bell is fugly.

I mentioned this back in the answers section a few weeks ago lol... Leupold brings back Redfield Scopes

Anyways, I own a Redfield Partner II..bought it in 96
Great scope.

I'm glad to see the scopes rebirth and still being made in the USA and by a reputable company in its own right.
My hats off to leupold.

Just thought I'd let everybody know that Bushnell has done me right by replacing the 3200 that I bought 5+/- years ago! The original scope was not expensive (as scopes go) but it was bright and served very well up 'til now-- even in the most rainy of the Pacific Northwest's weather!

And the Booth Babe discussion is on again. I love this time of year! I get to provoke whoever will read my posts to "love and good deeds"!

As hunters, we expect nothing less than a solid hunting ethic from our online field and stream posters and regularly encourage each other to "do right" in the field. Even though we highly value hunting, I would propose to all that one's marriage and family are really far more valuable and important. Our behavior should be governed by an ethic that honors our wives, protects our children and guards our hearts when tempted to break our commitments of fidelity. Anything else is poaching.

I remember back in June of 87 in Alaska, my Redfield Widefield 3x9 fogged up while hunting. I remembered back the summer of 1968 my Father purchased several Redfield Widefield 3x9’s keeping two and giving the rest to other friends. He put one on his Remington Model 721 which is still there today and the other on my 03-A3 during the final Custom job. I mailed the warranty card in and remembering the Life Time Warranty and really believed I had a quality Scope for life. Back to June 87, I sent the scope back to Redfield still in good working order and when I received it back, the invoice said the scope was too old and when I pulled the scope out of the box, the locking ring on the rear eye peace was broken and was barley screwed on with what nitrogen that remain was gone. I called Redfield and the Manager said for X-amount of dollars I could trade the scope in and what happened to my scope was too bad! I went back and forth with Redfield for two months, went ahead and traded the scope in for a rebuilt then it was payback time. Not only I was on the Air Force High Power Team, I ran the Base Range for recreational shooting, The Director for High Power Competition for the Tanana Valley Sportsmen Association and the President of the Sportsmen Council for the BX at Eielson and did I put the news out about Redfield. In fact, the sales and presence of Redfields became really scarce and the only one you came across was those who brought them in from the lower 48. The #1 by far the biggest bang for the buck and service after the sales in central Alaska was Leupold. They flat out stood behind there warranty! Not only that, one had a really bad fall sheep hunting totaling the Leuplold 3x9x40 Vari-X II. It looked like a bulldozer ran across it and backed up over twice! The owner showed it to me at the range and wanted to know if Leupold would fix it? Man, I really don’t think so, but he sent it in anyhow. Because the front bell was bent at the tube, they warranted it, NO JOKE! Because of that, Leupold became the #1 scope in the Fairbanks area.

I’m glad to see Redfield out of business for all they have done to the shooting public and glad to see a reputable optical company such as Leupold to take it over, a company I know for a fact who will be there tomorrow!!!!!

Clay and Ralph...
Had my own warranty problems with Redfield. Fogged scope, one of my favorites. Sent to Redfield for repair, it was sent back, with a similar nasty marketing note, that you too, for big bucks, could purchase another Redfield. Warranty was not in their vocab.

Will not own, purchase, or borrow another Redfield.

There are those who will spend a dime to make a dollar, those are the one are successful. For Leupold, they did just that and the results was not just making that additional 90 cents on that dime, they earned a respect bar none which is priceless!

As for those who will save a dime and loose a dollar? GO FIGURE!

I still have my Redfield 6X18 on my Remington 700 Varmint Special in .308. Cutting edge back in 1976 when I carried that package up to Alaska.

That's a very good question and I haven't seen any

A few years back I picked up a S&W Model A in 30-06 from a retired doctor. It's got a 3-9 Widefield that's handsome and accurate as is the rifle.

I bot a Redfield illuminator 3x9 top of the line over 30 years ago for my 300Win magnum. Incredible then and still great. Range finder and drop comp are extremely accurate and have worked flawlessly. I have been looking for years for used ones for my other guns but obviously everyone keeps them or passes them down as they are rare or over priced. Just getting bit old for the kick of the 300 but the memories.............

We all thought for years that Weaver scopes was the scope to buy,wrong,they so out priced and out qualified now that the cheapo Simmons is equal to them and I got a 4 and a 6 power Weaver that both are over 55 ys old. O tey ok to100 yds for late Am to early PM, but the multi-coated lenses now will do a much better job. I feel we gonna see a new round of B/P guns soon, these with he levr on the trigger guard will be shot lived.You will see some with the lever on top ( as our old faithful single shots had), which I call break-action, not levr action. ASk Mr. Knight about the newer batch of Knight B/P, Noticed Jim Shockley has switched to T/C, wonder how much T/P paid him? no doubt T/C a great rifle, I like a B/P Enscore myself with some extra bbls.

yeloston,
The last see-thru scope covers I saw was made or at least sold by Leopold if memory serves. It should fit your scope after all 40mm is 40mm, right? I'd call them.

I'm glad to see an affordable, quality scope being made in the USA. Hats of to Leupold for their VX I, and now for Redfields. I'm also glad to see some enthusiasm for "made in America" products. Sure German and Japanese scopes are nice, but so are American ones, and our country needs the business a helluva lot more than they do. Hopefully this trend continues. I've never owned a Redfield, but I'll definitely take a good hard look at them the next time I need a scope.

Del,
I have two Bushnell 6500 Elites - a 4x30 mil-dot and a 2.5x16 mil-dot. The 4x30 is still growing on me but the 2.5x16 is ALL THAT. I am impressed. To my eyes it compares quite favorably to my Dad's Swarovski 4x12x50 with his having an ever so slight edge at near-dark. It ought to for the $$$.

If there are slim pickin's at SHOT, maybe R. Lee Ermy can yell at Mr. Petzal a time or two to get him calibrated! LOL

Thinking about the Shooting Community at large,I'm truly looking forward what positive impact Leupold will have now with the Redfield line on board.

WAM

The Old Guard at Redfield had burned so many, it would sink any buyer! When I talked to the Gentleman at Leupold, the closest they could come is the trade in program basically trading your old Redfield for a Leupold product like you would a car. For those of us who got the shaft from Redfield, you got to give Leupold great credit for having this program. I've decided to take them up on it very soon. Of all the optical companies, Leupold is the only one I know of with true backbone!! Don't know about Sightron yet, one day I will find out

Dave,
When you go to the shot show check out the booth with the Kruger rifle scopes. I just read an e-mail from 'The Shooting Wire' from Jim Sheppard with info including them. These scopes are also assembled in Oregon with parts made overseas.
I've never heard of Kruger.

I should add, it too is a mid-priced scope ($180) as the Redfield.

There seems to be a lot of competition for the $150 to $200 price point market. Leupold is sort of out of that range with all but the Rifleman series.

For those reasons, I always take a backup rifle on any hunt more than 10 miles from the house. A Swarovski, Zeiss, Leupold, blah blah blah, Unlimited Lifetime of Your Grandchildren's Children Full Replacement Warranty with complimentary Mexican Dinner for four certificate wil not save your hunt if you scope rolls snake eyes and goes belly up. I have never had a scope fog or lose zero, but then again I don't own any junk either. :-)

The rings of gold don;t mean a darn thing only looks. I;ve said a zillion times, buy a Nikon and be happy and forget the gogging up, unless a foggy AM. Also, for cheaper line of scopes the Bushnell Dawn to Dusk in 6" ryr relief is a jewel, especially at it's price range. I put one on a guy I planned to sell and ws most impressed with the clarity and the eye focus piece not to mention the gret eye relief. I was so thrilled with it, I added one to a Black Power gun I wanted to try out, it worked like a jewel and nevr broke the bank. The eye piece worked like a telescope and the exra light at dDawn/Dusk ws better tthan any Lwupold I evr shot. With the 6" eye relief, you can mount the scope about anyway you please and it gives a clear view and with all the winter cloths on you don;t have to shift and plae the but end just right to gt a full scope view.I had on so many cloths I had to move my Nikon scopes back l/2" in order to gt a full view. But I'm old amd wear many extra cloths that this younget generation don;t appear to need.

WAMthnunter: I never made it wet,glad i did not, but got a monster here at home. A huge l0 pointer with largest body i ever saw on a W-tail in any place. Took 3 of us to load, as he hit the scales at 290 lbs and I shot him with a black Power gun at l70 yds just behind the right foreleg. Needless to say, right quarter and par of the left wuarter gone. Those Powerbelt pointed do a number. I had the gun zeroed at200 yds and it hit the aiming point perfect. Sure hope this guy left many genes before he checked out,.How did you do in C0? On same farm, Son killed 2- 8's and a 7 ( eight eith l broken tie off). With cost of hunting out west, appears now unless I get a freebee i will just have to hunt here. As can;t affford the high cost of tags, plane fares and motels. Would like one lst hunt to MT of C0 while able to go, but at 74, few huntds left. A 3-4 wek trip about does me in. I need about 2-3 other guys to go and lets drive out. We got all the camping gear, would be fun to do again I think. Nothing like bull shitting around a big rolling fire after a successful day. Shoot-up-straight and often.

Question: A Powerbelt or any hollow point Sabot,zeroed in for 200 yds, how much rise above the bulls eye will a pointed Powerbelt rise using the same wt bullet? i say 6-8" but gonna try soon as warms up. Got a new gun got to try out. Another B/P with switchable bbls. A bunch of us in the area, gonna begin Coyote hunting soon, what is best call for them? I'm told a rabbitt is best? What you guys say?

WAAMtHunter:
Too bad on a lousy seson in CO. Know the feeling. IN 97 I killed a 6 x 6 on 4th day for a l2 day handicapped hunt, then bck in 98 and hunted same area, never saw the first live elk. We had a good seson here. After i got my monster l0 and a Monster for this area, I kinda just took it easy. Never saw a thing better. Dod see a few buck and almost strtd to try my pistol on a cow howned tht needed takig out, but ws late o Sat Pm and I wanted to go eat a juicy steak. Son did well. W about to get the culls out of the herd now, a few left. Nw wish had shot sat the cow horn with the pistol to see if culd kill one. So after you uneventful seasonin Co. glad i saved my $, now maybe can go next year , would like the rut season for B/P as got a B/P on order from CVA a deletedmodel. Waned a Conteder, but a tad rich for a gu like that. Im no Jim Shockley, not planning to hu t entrely with a b/P gun. I like that option for a 2nd shot. HAs been cold as well diger's A== here and had the deepest snow in l4 yrs.(22 days temps never got above 30 deg) Still some o north banks. Had my fill of now fora year. ready for weather to warm up and try my firt ever coyote hunt.Got to get the 270 zeroed and some reloads of about 80 grs . So till get out again, wll read and watch DCD on hunts. Take care and often.

The reviews are on target. I have in my possesion a new Redfield 2-9 x 40 with the new Accuplex reticle. I mounted it on a Stag Arms .223 Black Rifle and sighted in with a lazer boresighter. It only took 5 shots to bring to zero. got still and fired a .25" group with handloads. This scope is very clear and stays clear throughout magnification range. I look forward to more range time with this new glass. I have not compared it my Leupolds yet in low light but it shoots great on the range.

redfields wide angle scopes are great...i dont see any
in the new product line...i still have 4 rifles with these installed, they are very fast to target.try a
2x7 wide angle on a mini 14....hope the wide angles will be made again..

Sure wish Redfield would get rid of the logo on the side of the scope. My rifles will never see a Redfield until they do.

I had a Redfield 2 power on a Model 37 12 ga. Deerslayer. It stood up to the big power of the 12 with slugs for years. I loved the scope and glad they are back if only in name. Having Leupold behind that name speaks volumns of the quality and will be covered forever.
