The Low Pro wide fields were designed by a fellow who later went on to co-found Burris Optics. Redfield was bought out by Meade Telescopes who also bought Simmons and Weaver and Tasco I believe. Needless to say they kinda went south on the quality. John Redfield's company got sued out of existence by the EPA for contaminates in the Platte River the reason for the sale to Meade.

That's the Redfield I have ,sitting on a 8mm Mauser I cut down and stuck it in Boyd's stock. Hope to hunt wolves with it some day
I dnt understand how you use the built in range finder and I dnt know any Marines from the the late 60s.
Above the cross hairs are 2 lines and below the croshairs is a stick with measurements that go from 200 to 600.
Some how you line a target up with the lines above and then I think you turn the zoom tell ??? T
That's what I'm not sure of.
Edit// just broke out the 8mm. When you zoom in and out, the stick with the numbers on it, zooms in and out too
It's a 2x7x? No 3rd number. Zoom is 1-7
Its a small scope. Both ends are round not rectangle.
