Title: New Redfield website up and running.
Post by: Huntbear on January 23, 2010, 04:01:46 PM: Redfield.com (http://Redfield.com) is up and running. Looks like 1 line of scopes to begin with, at this time. They do offer a BDC reticle.

Post by: Huntbear on January 23, 2010, 04:29:57 PM: I just watched the 500 yd. shooting video. That Accu Trac reticle looks nice. I may have to try one out, since I am in the market for a scope. Has a lifetime warranty, so am not to worried about it not working. Plus, it is really a Leupold scope in a Redfield dress.

Directly from the online catalog.

Post by: Deep Forks on February 14, 2010, 03:10:12 PM: I've had a Redfield, widefield with the accu-trac reticle since the early 70's on a 7mm weatherby mag. Never have had to adjust it since the original site-in. It has been a great scope and continues to be. :) :) :)

Post by: wapiti hunter2 on February 14, 2010, 03:41:56 PM: Next test for the new Redfields is the waterproofing. Run water over them for a few hours to see if they leak. My Leupold's are water tight in every western WA condition I can find. My older Redfield widefield 3x9 was too. My older Redfield held true w/o resighting for over 10 years. I hope te new ones are as good.

Supposedly, they go through the same torture tests that the Leupolds go through, for shock, water proof, etc... But in that regard only time will tell.

Post by: Pathfinder101 on February 28, 2010, 10:19:03 PM: I am rebuilding my dad's old .300 Weatherby Mag and need to put a new scope on it. I've been watching Ebay for deals on used Leupolds. What do you guys think, should I stick with a used Leupold, or will these new Redfields handle the shock? :dunno:

Post by: Huntbear on March 01, 2010, 06:36:31 PM: Redfields are offering the same warranty as the Leupolds. It can not hurt. Worst case, you have to send it back and make em fix it. I am gonna put one on my .338 wm. It is supposed to be able to handle it.

normal crosshairs,

he didn't care for the bdc it was hard for him to see so not a real advantage.
