I'll be looking hard at Redfields. Have an old one; pretty long in the tooth. Kept it as a backup; just in case during hunting season. Must be between forty and fifty years old. It was previously owned.

First, it's now made by Leupold. The Redfield company has passed the scene for awhile. Plus, I use one of those Leupold's on a bolt action rifle. Leupold is quality.

Second, I notice many local sporting goods stores, including the big box store now carry the new Redfield.

Third, I like the price and Redfields made nice small scopes for Marlin lever actions. An important sales point then. And my Marlin is now my #2 or #1 deer rifle in the deep woods.

Fourth, I expect to get to see the scope quality in person, at the dealer.
