All About Redfield Rifle Scopes

For those of you that don't know Redfield scopes have been manufactured for roughly 100 years now. This is a long time for any enterprise to exist - regardless of what they in effect produce. Originally the scopes from Redfield were produced in Colorado; however, a few years ago the enterprise was bought out by Blount and the line was in effect discontinued for a time.

While Redfield had enjoyed a beloved history and was at one time known as one of the best known and most beloved brands in the manufactures by the 1990's Redfield was seeing it hard to keep up with the competition in the industry. Fellowships like Leupold were putting increasingly intense pressure on others in the store and Redfield was seeing it difficult to stay afloat. There seemed to be no other choice but to pull the Redfield scopes line from the store altogether and lick their own wounds.

This all changed, roughly at he last moment, when Meade stepped into the photo and took over Redfield. Meade themselves have become well known for their perfect potential telescopes over the years and animated into rifle optics made perfect sense. Any other Fellowships were acquired by Meade at the same time and Redfield now has its home in Georgia; where the 4 Redfield lines of scopes are now produced. They are Golden Five Star, the Tracker, the Widefield and the Illuminator.

Some of the current Redfield scopes are in effect nothing truly "new". The Widefield scope, for example, was in output long before Redfield found themselves in difficulty. This singular scope features an oval ocular as well as objective lens that allows you to mount the scope lower on your rifle while providing a much wider view that you would ordinarily be able to obtain.

While the develop itself in effect looks a bit strange and is a step away from the normal develop of many scopes, there is no denying the fact that this unique develop delivers perfectly. When hunting in close range, you can't ask for a best image delivery. In tests, the Widefield produces images that are some 30% larger than similar scopes. In increasing to a develop that truly does deliver, Redfield is persisting to produce high potential pieces built with a rugged aluminum alloy tube that can withstand some fairly rough terrain and treatment.

With Meade now running the show Redfield will not now honor warranties on older Redfield scope models. The enterprise does, however, offer a lifetime warranty on all new scopes manufactured and sold under the direction of Meade themselves.
