The 2-7 or tweener scopes are my favorite hunting scopes. Leopold is good, Kahles is better and I've found the Vortex Razor HD LH 1.5-8 to be the best yet.


There is nothing at all wrong with the Redfield Revolution 2-7. Made in the Leupold plant in the USA. They are well under $200. I got mine for $119 on sale. You'd be hard pressed to find any difference between it and the Leupold.


Yea, I did forget about that one. I think the scope that the OP was asking about is actually well under $100 with an illuminated reticle. That alone sounds warning bells for me. I just used $200 as an arbitrary number because I wasn't exactly sure about the model the OP was referencing.

The Revolution would certainly work,as will the VX1 or the Burris regardless of being under my arbitrary $200 level. All I really meant was to use caution with the very cheap scopes and those not of well respected name.
