Default Don't buy Redfield rings

They were made in China up until recently when they switched back to having them made in the US.

They also aren't under Leupold but are a seperate company in Onalaska, Wisconsin. Not part of Redfield scopes.

I had a set of Ruger 77 Redfield rings and was carefully snugging up the clamp screw and the head popped off. I'm a retired metallurgist and the fracture surface looked just like other fracture surfaces I've seen on fasteners made in China. Junk.

I imagine there's still alot of the Chinese inventory floating around.
