    Need a scope for a tikka t3 30/06. Found a good deal on a redfield 3x9x50 or a 4x12x40. These good scopes? Going on my hunting gun . Can pick one up for about 120-140 depending on model. Good? Thanks!

    i am guessing...bracket an object aproximately 18" between the upper wires by turning your power range ring from the lower powers toward the higher powers...when aprox. 18inches is between the 2 wires ( shoulder to brisket on a deer or 3/4's of an elk, etc. )stop the adjustments and read the aproximate indicated range being displayed on "the stick "

    Having owned several of these older range finding Redfields, Mr. Scott is correct with his posting. That's exactly how you use the rangefinder.

    Thanks a lot for the help on the Redfield scope. I think this might just be a keeper, as I picked it up with a gun at a gun show. Any guesses as to the potential value of an older Redfield like this?

    Had written a reply couple days ago, but it must have gotten lost when the server crashed....again.

    Very simple, and workable system....for hunting. Not one hole groups at 300 yards.
    I have somewhere in my filing cabinets the actual instructions, but here's a crash course.

    Upper two lines are ranging brackets factored on average Whitetail sizing from the top shoulder-back to the brisket or chest.

    Place the deer between the lines also called stadia by turning the Power Ring until it 'fits'. Meaning the upper line is just on the back, and the bottom is just on the chest. Obviously the longer the shot....the more important the line placement is as it determines range.

    Now look at the 'ladder scale' in the lower right corner, the number that's easily visible at the bottom is the approximate range.
    If you can see the top of one number and the bottom of another...that means it's simply in between so split the difference.

    The bottom line is constantly centered and is the normal spot used to aim like in a 'regular' scope.

    Depending on the distance you can simply use the bottom line by 1. Holding dead on and applying Maximum Point Blank Range shooting concept.
    2. By adjusting the Elevation knob if time allows.
    3. Using need Hold Over by moving the line up to a point that corresponds with the bullet ballistics. This one requires lots of practice, especially with estimating the Hold Over needed at longer distances.

    This is an accurate system, and very effective but requires two things:
    A correctly adjusted scope, and a practice using it at the range.
    It......won't fail to work.



    Happy Bullet Holes!
