I've owned more than a half dozen of those Redfields and back in 1975-1980 they were likely the best scope America had to offer.

I had a 4X16,at least 4 different 3X9's and a couple 2X7's
I retired my last 3X9 with rangefinder about 4 years ago.
My 2X7 is still going strong.

I've never owned an $80.00 Simmons from Walmart but I doubt like hell it could ever match those Redfields.

I like it here. They let me swear.
