RE: Redfield Scopes
I have a 90s era Redfield 2-10x. I love it I wish I could another one like it but they are gone.I can't remember how much I paid for it. It's about the same quality as my cheaper Leupolds. As for the new new ones I can't really speak to them.
I would try to find one like mine they are a really good scope if you can get one for under $200.
But considering you can get a Leupold Vari-XII for $299 I would just go with that. Leupold warranty and customer service is probably far better than Redfield and the quality probably is too.
