New Redfield scopes
Has anyone seen or used the new line? The ads list some pretty good features, but I couldn't find any weights listed, nor can I find any reviews on them.

This page shows some of the specs. Haven't heard any reviews yet.

Thanks for the link MontMike,I live in Helena and have heard the scuttle-butt about the new Redfields also,I still have an older wide field 2-7 I bought in the late 70's,my brother has it on a rifle I loaned him 20-25 years ago in Texas and its held up just fine.At those prices the new redfields better be good,they will be american made and I like that.Drop-Shot
MontMike
For that price, they better be damn good. I'll stick with the Conquests for now until I hear some extremely good reviews.

MontMike, I'm with you. My Conquests are my best scopes, I just wish they made a 1.5-5, or something like that.
MontMike
The Burris Signature comes in a 1.5 - 6 that may fit your needs.

Does anyone know where the new Redfields are manufactured?

I picked up a Nikon Monarch Gold in a 1.75-6x42. Big field of view, minimum 4" eye relief, and good glass. If there were a Conquest that was close to the Nikon in eye relief and FOV, it would have been the one.

Still think they look sexy, but a 56 mm objective? WTF? JMO, Dutch.
