Salmo Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 Any good looking at one for a rimfire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
enfieldspares Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 (edited) They did use to be a quality name. Not quite as good as supposedly Leupold (or so Leupold would have it) but maybe a bit "nicer" than Weaver and better than Bushnell. IMHO anyway. The American environmental protection laws did for Redfield as they'd allowed their factory processes to massively pollute the immediate neighbourhood. I'd not ever have a problem with an "old school" "Made in USA" Redfield on a rimfire. My stalking rifles all wore German made Zeiss. The modern Redfield branded ones are Chinese (so any premium is for the Redfield name not the quality) and as good as any other Chinese made 'scope of similar price. Which is actually pretty damn good for the money. A good Tasco or Nikko or Chinese made BSA will serve just as well.

wymberley Posted July 31, 2022 Report Share Posted July 31, 2022 As above. My second mistake was selling the rifle which I'd picked up at the Wiesbaden BX - a Remington 700 BDL - to which 'it' was attached; the first being selling the Redfield scope which I got with it.
