Sabotloader,
Didn't you order one for me a year or so ago? Is this the same scope??

Yeah I don't know. The Redfield Revolution has 3.7 to 4.2" eye relief. Maybe thinking of that one?

Redfield is making nice scopes now, again. I'm just personally not a big fan of the bdc type reticles. To me, its just unnecessary clutter... especially on a ML. I've had a couple different ones over the years, not a big fan. Give me a regular duplex any day.

Definitely a good deal though!

Correct 3.5 on 9X

Yes I did order one for you it was the Revenge 3x9x42 Accu-Range and Range finder but I am sure it was the Hunter scope with a 600 yard range finder reticule.

And it is near 4.5 on 3X power and little over 3.5 on 9X

And I was just there today. You all know that Redfield had been bought out by Leupold - right? And they undergo the same stringent testing the lupies do.
just a little fyi.

The Redfield Revenge is under the Leupold umbrella but it is made in Formosa while the Revolution is made in the states...

It is actually made in the same plant that makes Nikon if I remember correctly and yes as you said it has to pass Leupold's specs.

Here is some additional info

I just got mine in the mail. Now I have to decide if I want this on my .22 or maybe change out a muzzleloader to it. Since it is set up for sabot shooting. Now this is no recommendation by any means, but holding it up and looking out the window with it, the clarity is amazing. Also its very fast to change powers. With that 42mm bell this might be the factor that tells me what rifle it can go on. As I don't want to change out rings and such. Many of my scopes have a 40mm bell almost on the barrel now. Although that would look nice on that fancy .22 Sig Sauer I have.

I got one today as well and it is an excellent scope for that price. I do believe the eye relief is more than advertised as well.

Actually I was thinking the same thing. I had it on 9x and with it sitting on a solid surface, no hands on it, I moved behind it to where the entire view inside the scope was solid. I guessed it closer to 4 inches. Which I thought was more then generous.

I'm positive it was advertised before at 4.5" It clearly has it but can't find it in writing.
