Another recent post got me to thinking about a Redfield 2-7x scope I've had for a long time. I got it back in my early days of becoming familiar with handguns and hunting with them. It was actually for my first Encore, which was the first Encore I'd ever seen in person. Might have even been a first yr production model.

Anyway, I traded a revolver for the 10" 7mm/08 Encore at a gunshow, then took it to a local shop where I was living at the time and told David to order me a scope and base, and mount 'em up for me.

What he installed was the Redfield scope with a 3-ring base. To this day, I still have not seen nor heard mention of Redfield pistol scopes. I don't know his reasoning behind choosing this set-up for me, but I sure do like it still to this day.

I think I've still got the mount in a drawer but the scope has been used on several of my other barrels since, and it is on a 15" 7/08 now.

Does anyone here remember the Redfield pistol scopes?
