Thread: Redfield tracker scope any idea on age?

Optics seem fairly good on this scope. It's 6x fixed focus, but might go well on an SMLE sporter.
Probably 70's or 80s, but not entirely sure.

Maybe around 30 years. Good scopes. I still have one in perfect condition, the five star model.

Some good info on early Redfield scopes here

Might be closer to fourty as I used one as a teenager.

I'm wondering that too.
I'm trying to go by the style of the font used too.
I think its possibly around 1980 or late 70s.
I've also got an older wide view scope that I think is late 60s that I just installed on a 303.

Closer to forty. I picked my 2-7x late 80s and it was 4-5 years old then.

Tracker was introduced in 1982. They're ok.
Interestingly Redfield was the originator of the Duplex reticle.

The biggest shitter of a scope ever made was a Redfield Widefield. They had an oval ocular lens that gave the appearance of a wider field of all. The lens being oval was impossible to seal. Mate and I bought one each thinking they would be the bees knees. Both leaked within months. Ive never met one that didn't leak.
