Pieter,
The Redfield 3200 scopes are still very good target/varmint scopes (I have three), though their optics and technology are outdated by modern standards. The Ruger No. 1 V does not really perform best as a walk around pure game hunting rifle.
If it were mine, I would NOT drill a third set of holes for a modern scope, but that's just me, and if you want to make it more versatile, and since it's your rifle, do what you think is best. You will need Ruger "V" bases if you do that.
I find it hard to believe that a modern scope such as a Weaver K12 (which are not really modern anymore) will work on an early 1V and still provide the proper eye relief. I have tried this and it has never worked. These early rifles were designed for the long target scopes such as Unertls and Lyman Super Targetspots (and the 3200!) and that is what they work with.
Good luck.
