Redfield Wide-Field Scope
I have a Redfield 2x7 wide-field scope that I originally mounted on a Sako .243. The scope was perfect for deer but I have mounted a 4x12 for varmit. I bought the scope in 1972 but cannot remember what I paid for it. It is gloss black and has the oval shaped eye piece which produces a great wide clear view with the multi-plex type of cross hairs. I am want to sell this scope but have no idea what to ask for it. Any help would be appreciated.

The book Old Rifle Scopes by Nick Stroebel gives a value range of $160-$235. From the prices I see on them at gun shows I think this may be a little high. 0 -
good quality scope but outdated optics, start it at $50 and see where it goes. 0 -
I bought one of those scopes brand new for my brother in 1975.
I paid $89.00 for it.
He still has it and uses it on his model 700 in 30-06.
He had to send it back a few years ago because it was loosing it's nitrogen charge.
It works perfectly well now though.
I loved that low profile T.V. screen eye piece.

Anywhere from the $50 previously mentioned to about $75 would be a fair price.
One thing to remember, Blount Industries, the present owner of Redfield and Weaver, will NOT honor the older Redfield warranties. You have to send them to scope and binocular repair companies that start the repair costs in the $50 range and then up, depending on what type of repairs. That's why most folks shy away from the older Redfields.
