Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Leupold Freedom 2X7 Vs Redfield Revolution 2X7

I am going to use it on a short range set and forget deal.This is my price range,please don`t tell me why I need a Chit and Bender.Only those who actually use them give me input.Thanks,Huntz

I have used the VX-II 2-7X33 quite a bit and like it, it's easier to get behind than my present 2.5-8X36 VX-3i.

Ive used the Redfield Revolution in 2x7 quite a bit...no issues.

Same here with the Redfield, I'd get the duplex reticle next time.

The Redfields have been discontinued.

I have half a dozen of the Redfields. Make mine the accurange.....

Did Leupold see them as lost cause? I know when they bought them out they promised to continue the Redfield name.

Just talked to Leupold.They don`t know anything about not making Redfields anymore.

Really? Okay then, my mistake. For some reason I thought the Redfields were discontinued at the same time as the VX-1 and VX-2's. Good to know!

I own 2 Redfield 2-7 x 33 rifle scopes & about 6 assorted others.

They are on my 2 favourite rifles.

i have a 2-7x33 Freedom, I had a Revolution, to my eyes the Freedom has the better glass. i plan on buying another.

I also have two of the 2-7 Revolutions. One has been on a 45-70 GBL and shot full-house loads for the last eight years. It's never ever faltered.

What?.......

Eyebox is more forgiving..

Ahhhh, I have every generation of Leupold 2-7's ( including the VX-I/VX-1) except for the current Freedoms, and every generation of 2.5-8's. The biggest reason I pay the extra money for the 2.5-8's is because they are easier to get behind. You are the first person I've heard say to the contrary.

I find the opposite, or so it seems to me. Not enough difference to keep me from using it, just enough to notice when paying attention to such things. Could be the particular rifle it's on.

The reasons I tried the VX-3i are slight glass difference, one piece tube, and dual spring erector. I was also able to get a single-turn locking CDS.

I really like this size and power range of scope, especially on a rifle I am trying to be conscious of weight and will be used in brush/wooded areas, field of view is great.

I too think the 2-7x is easier to deal with than the 2.5-8x. I hate that scope.

Interesting. Check out Redfield's webpage. Do you notice any models shown? Only manuals and if you have a problem with one to contact Leupold

I noticed that myself last night after I tried to visit the website after reading this post. Now that I think about it, the last Redfield scope I saw was a Fred Meyers this past spring when they were getting out of the gun business. As slow as the moved them, the scope had probably sat there 2-3 years.

The revolution products are on the webpage...
On the right of the webpage, click on the catalogue link and you will see the revolutions on page 16, I believe.
Cheers.
