A little help with an old scope

[Hotchef181818]

Picked this up in a trade package and I'm trying to decide whether to keep or sell at a this point.

I know it's a redfield wide field 3-9x but the rings have me completely stumped. I didn't take a pic or measure yet but they are 2 different heights as well.

Can anyone help with ring ID and value on the scope ?

Those are Ruger (factory) rings. Possibly one of the rifle combos offered way back when on the 77/22's . I had a similar set up (w/redfield) on a 77/22. The original owner said that's the way he purchased it, new.

Interesting. Any thoughts on what the setup is worth ? I'm probably just going to sell it since I don't really have a use for it.

The rings run $20 used. The scope ?? Figure $40 for all of it.

hmm..might make more sense to buy an old .22 to mount it on. Thanks for the help Jim [Beer]

That sounds like a solid plan! [Awesom]

Those rings are Ruger specific. They don't work on any other rail.

If that's an older Redfield it is generally a good basic glass. I would pull the rings, sell them and put the scope on something else. If you were closer I would offer to buy it for a little more than $20. But I have enough old scopes laying around not worth shipping to me. It would go nicely on an old Winchester 308 I have though.

That scope was made in Denver. Good glass, the wide view was a marketing gimic. Told to me by a lead engineer at Redfield. He later started Burris with Don Burris in 1971.
