Does any body run this scope Redfield Revenge series, there are a few of them?

If so what do you use the scope on and how do you like it?

Do you find their ranging reticle helpful?

If you go redfield get a revolution. They are made in USA and have better glass. I have several revolutions on hunting rifles and they work good. Very simila to a luepold vx1.

Yes owned by leupold. The revolutions are great budget scopes.

Revolution or VX-1, if on a budget. Revenge is Asian and definitely a step down in both optical quality and construction.

I chose the Battlezone over the revenge for the MOA reticle.  

It is by far the nicest scope I've ever had and it's currently resting on my 5.56 AR15.  My father was so impressed by it after a couple trips out shooting that he purchased the exact same scope and is continually amazed by it.

The Tac-MOA reticle is extremely helpful (and I prefer it to the mil-dot system), and particularly nice since the turrets are in MOA clicks too.  The resettable turrets are a huge plus, but the ranges marked on the 5.56 turret are a better fit for my father's 24" barrel than for my 16".

I just bought a Redfield Revenge scope.  Glass is actually very good for the price.



Glass is better on the Revolution, as stated above.  For a budget scope though, the Revenge is more then adequate.




I wanted one, just for plinking.  I never intend to use it for hunting.  As such, the built in range finder is pretty accurate.




I have it mounted on a Colt 6920.  Found it on sale for 139.99 with free shipping on Midway.

If buying a Redfield:

Revolution > Revenge

Having used both, spend the few extra bucks and go with something in the Revolution line.  It's great glass for the money.  I've got the 3-9x40 Accu-Range on my deer rifle and I have no intentions on changing it out.  ETA I did like the Accu-Ranger reticle on the Revenge scope and it would be a nice option if it was available in the Revolution line.  At the end of the day you have to decide what is more important to you.  

Accu-Range vs Accu-Ranger

Thank you all for the input. Great suggestions and comments! I am really liking the idea of the accu range/accu hunter type scope setup.
