Redfield Revolution 3-9x40mm Accu-Range

Excellent scope
I was shopping at Gander Mountain and they have nicely laid out all the scopes for shoppers to test and see their quality first hand. Immediately, I clearly saw the highest quality were the Leupold scopes. Then, I came across the Redfield Revolution Accu-Range, which was less expensive (half the price of Leupold) and the same quality lenses. I was very impressed, but without recognizing this brand I was still reluctant to buy it. Then the store clerk told me that Leupold actually produces the Redfield brand. It made sense, the quality was there to prove their similarities.

I bought the scope in the store (was same price as Amazon) and ordered the scope mounts on my Amazon mobile app (cheaper on Amazon). The scope is great; there's no blurring around the edges of the view, the cross is easy to see at any range or light condition, and the scope is forgiving on how close or far you hold your head from the view finder and doesn't turn black easily.
Nice Scope, Good Value
Accu-Range is great. Good value.

The Redfield quality is excellent, the lenses are clear, the eye relief is superb, and I really like the AccuRange reticle which will allow me to sight that particular gun (Savage Model 111) in with the ammunition I use at particular yardage ranges. (.30-06 with 165 grain boat tail bullets)

The only item to be aware of is that the 1-inch scope tube is a bit short so I had to get special Weaver rings with built-in extensions to allow the rings to fall in the correct positions on the scope tube. No problem, and the cost was the same as the regular rings, it just took an extra trip to the...
