I say Leupold. I wouldn't even look at another brand for a rifle that I'm going to hunt with. Redfield may have improved their products but from what I've seen and experienced in the past they aren't on the same level. But like someone else said.. I'm Leupold bias.

I am the same way about Leupolds KimberRich. That's the only reason I am considering a Redfield. They are now owned and manufactured by Leupold, and apparently the Redfield Revolution is basically a Leupold VX1. Same factory, same waterproof, shockproof and fogproof testing etc...
THE REDFIELD STORYFor more than 100 years, Redfield® has built an American hunting legacy. Now, as part of the Leupold® family, this American legend is looking to another century of hunting.Based in Oregon, the original home of founder John C. Redfield, we've rededicated ourselves to his vision: no-nonsense optics for everyone. Focused on that goal, we've made top-notch optical equipment accessible to every American hunter. With Redfield, outdoorsmen across this great land can fill their tag without breaking the bank.Redfield represents the millions of American hunters who make this sport great. Those who scout, set up blinds, and wake long before dawn. Redfield optics are for people serious about their hunts, because we're serious about our hunting too. Whether you're after a trophy buck or a full freezer, Redfield optics get the job done, season after season.The Redfield Gun Sight Company was founded in 1909 by John Hill Redfield. The company designed and manufactured quality equipment that hunters and shooters trusted for accurate, rugged and reliable sighting. The company's product line grew over the years from the original innovative line of open sites to include riflescopes, mounts and eventually binoculars and spotting scopes. In 1998 Redfield closed its doors in Denver, Colorado marking the end of an era but leaving behind an undeniable legacy of manufacturing quality products for the American Sportsman. The Redfield name changed hands several times over the next ten years but never realized its potential to once again become a prominent brand among outdoor enthusiasts.In April of 2008 Leupold & Stevens, Inc. purchased the brand name Redfield and all the intellectual property associated with Redfield Optics.
