I would agree with the previous posters in saying the new Redfield works well. I have two. One is a 3x9 and the other is a 2x7. The 3x9 is mounted on my 270 T/C and the 2x7 is on my Marlin 39A .22

They both perform as expected, and I really don't see much difference between them and the three Nikons I have mounted on my other rifles.

I just replaced a 1960 model year Redfield 4 power on my Marlin 336C with a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9 and I'm considering swapping the Nikon with one of the Redfields to put the rifle combo back as it was when my father presented me with the rifle back when.

Can't beat the price. I feel I got more than I paid for.
