I have 3 of them. I have no complaints. Track great, as I have used a 3 x 9 mounted on a 6.8 on 600 yard targets --- always returns to zero. I bought my 2 x 7's for $129.00 each. Glass is good and clear, great eye relief and good in dawn/dusk. Just what you would expect from Leupold.
Since Leupold owns the Redfield name (and these are made/assembled in USA), IMO this is simply re-branding by Leupold to compete with the less expensive scopes from overseas. By re-branding, they wouldn't mess up their perceived quality and pricing strategy with the standard Leupold line.
I have one with the Accu-plex and not quite sure what to think about it. I wanted to try it, but it is too busy for me.
My 450B still wears a Leupold 4X on it, with a small red dot mounted on the tube. I want the VX-R 1.5 x 4 Pig Plex with the lighted dot.
