Used Leupold or new Redfield..?

[whacker1]

I think in that price range that I would only buy the Leupold "used" if you knew the person you were buying it from.  Big gun, lots of recoil, I would lean toward buying a scope that would have some warranty.  Not sure if Leupold would warranty the used scope or not.

Yes, Leupold warranty is honored on used scopes.  The warranty is lifetime and you don't have to show proof of original purchase (otherwise I wouldn't even consider it).

you might also check www.overstock.com for new Leupolds.  I saw quite a selection on there yesterday.

Thanks whacker.  I've been checking there.  They seem to have about the same prices as the new ones on Ebay.

Okay, just to update; I was in Spokane on business so I went to Cabela's and let them talk me into the Redfield 3X9X40 with the Accu-Range Reticle.  They mounted and boresighted it on my Weatherby.  Haven't shot it yet, but I will update the thread when I do.
For what it's worth, I REALLY like the scope.  It's clear and crisp.  After my military discount and the tax, I forked out $160 for it.  Seemed to be a pretty good deal.
