I think that the lens coatings on the Leupold are superior to those on the Redfield. It has been my impression that the Redfield Revolution was optically comparable to the Leupold VX1 and that the Leupold Freedom is optically comparable to the VX2. With Nikon going out of the rifle scope business, you might find a good deal on a 2-7x ProStaff.

Sending you a PM.
