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.Quote:

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.
