scotland rifles Posted July 10, 2011 Report Share Posted July 10, 2011 i had a 3/9x50 (i think it was that one) on my 223 was a nice scope and the glass was very good, i sold it with the 223 and i think the lad that had it was well happy with it, anyway i think (as mentioned) they are made by Leupold so they will be i just wish they had a better selection, but then again they don't want them out selling the Leupold do they bob. PS: i think they have a better eye releif than leupold's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rem223 Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Buster the new Redfields are basically Leupold VX1 for less money. Made in the same factory as Leupold and come with the same warranty. They are good scopes for the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 I looked through a few of these scopes while at Sportsman Guncentre. The clarity was excellent, and, if I'm in the market for a new scope (probably ) I'm considering getting one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Im going to leupold on friday, i will get more info on them. England expects.....loads of free samples! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garyb Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 What is your budget? I've had Leupolds in the past VX II's and < on rim-fires. I sold them as I found them milky and disappointing in low light, can't see how the Redfields would be any better? European made scopes have an unbeatable reputation.

wymberley Posted July 12, 2011 Report Share Posted July 12, 2011 Im not expecting any freebies, they are doing us a favour it seems by meeting in Nebraska at Hornady rather than us travelling all the way to their west coast lair. OK, we'll scrub around the freebies, but there's me and AN Other who will happily pay for some Hornady 224 50gr SP SX. If Hornady could stuff a few in their next shipment.

Magwitch Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 I got a 3-9x40 today, just mounted it on the rifle tonight and i am going to zero it in the weekend. I got a very good deal from the optic warehouse. Am very pleased with it so far and will be giving it a try out Saturday night on the rabbits.............

wymberley Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 Buster the new Redfields are basically Leupold VX1 for less money. Made in the same factory as Leupold and come with the same warranty. They are good scopes for the price. We've been here before. I had a wide angle version back in '77 and couldn't fault it. Have just met up with the old mate I was shooting with then when I got it. He's also into them. Rem is correct. They've improved the focus adjustment from the friction system to the better 1/4" click and cost saving is made on cosmetic finish. All else, as Rem states.

wymberley Posted July 21, 2011 Report Share Posted July 21, 2011 PM sent Thanks for the help. I got hold of Hannams, they had 100 of the Hornadys in stock. They now have my name on them and are whizzing down to my RFD. Again, thanks, Phil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
