Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Redfield scopes

Opinions please, on the recent Redfield scopes.

I have four of the Revolutions. 2 X 2-7x33; a 3-9x40 and a 4-12x40 with the Accurange.

Good reliable scopes for not much dough. My rifles get treated a little rough at times and I've not had to rezero from dropping or knocking them, only when using different ammo.

We had a local shop close and they were selling Revolutions for $79 (2x7s) and $89 (3x9). I bought a 2x7 and my buddy a 3x9. So far they have been a great scope. Certainly on par or better optically (to my eye) than my older VariXIIs. No issues with them at all.

My son and I each have a 2-7 with the Accu-Range reticle. We like them.

I have 2 Redfield Revolution 3-9x40s and would buy them again if the price was right.

However, I think that for around $170, it is hard to beat a VX-1 3-9x40, given the improvements that Leupold introduced in 2012.

Got revolution 3-9X40s (duplex) on two rifles. One is on a Ruger hawkeye all-weather 7mm08 and it is my most used rifle. It may be just me, but they seem among the easiest scopes to get behind quick that I've ever owned.
Decent glass, great durability, and holds zero, for not much money.

The Revolution 2-7x33 4-Plex is a great little scope.

I've currently got three Revolutions, one of each power. May be the best deal in scopes available IMO. Glass is on par with VX1, maybe better. I've had more, but sold a few. Not because they didn't work. I purchased one used and the ocular focus lock ring was frozen in place. I think the previous owner used vice grips to tighten the ring. I returned it to Leupold and they fixed it and had it back to me inside of two weeks, no charge...not even return shipping charges.

I have the Revolution 2x7 on my 375hh. It is tested to hold up to exactly 375hh "force" at Leupold, where they are made.
It is an accurange and very quick to gain target and lots of eye relief for the 375's not-too-gentle buck and roar.

I liked the 2x7 enough to also purchase a 4x12 accurange which I put on my CZ455 to shoot either 22lr or 17hmr.

No complaints, and I'm going to keep them.

By the way, I've put at least 200 rounds through the 375 since mounting the scope, and not one little bit of an issue with it.
