The Redfield’s are ok scopes, but the problem is, the prices have creeped up. Not a lot, but just enough that they are within $20-$30 of the Leupolds. If you have the choice between a Redfield with crinkly black paint, or a nicer looking Leupold with a gold ring, and the price diff is that paltry, what do you think most will pick??

Leupold needs to shoot for a $50 or more price differential, if folks are to keep getting Redfields.
