Redfield Returns
September 22, 2009 - Redfield's new line of riflescopes and other sports optics signals the rebirth of a legendary American brand, rejuvenated specifically for American hunters seeking the utmost in quality and performance at commonly affordable prices.
Acquired by Leupold & Stevens, Inc. in 2008, Redfield® has become a brand of the Oregon-based company. Revolution™ riflescopes, the first products in the new Redfield line, are built at the plant near Beaverton, Ore. Other product offerings will include imported Rebel™ and Renegade™ binoculars, Rampage™ spotting scopes and Raider™ rangefinders, all designed, built and tested according to Redfield's exacting specifications. "Redfield will be a complete line of affordable, quality optics that appeal to American hunters, whether they are young or old, inexperienced or very experienced," said Andy York, Redfield's vice president of sales, marketing and technology. "For example, the Revolution is an ideal choice for the whitetail deer hunter who wants a 'best in class,' American-made riflescope for around $130. All the new Redfield products will have a cool edge to them in terms of look and feel, and offer quality and performance that hunters can depend on in all field conditions." York added, "We are especially proud of the fact that Revolution riflescopes are built in our Oregon facility by American workers. They embody the Soul of the American Hunter™ and their craftsmanship is second to none. Our workers' skills, hunting backgrounds and experience, combined with state-of-the-art design, manufacturing, assembly and testing techniques, will ensure that the Revolution will be an outstanding riflescope in every way." The Redfield Gun Sight Company was founded in 1909 by John Hill Redfield. Over the years, Redfield became one of the leading American manufacturers of hunting optics, known for the accuracy, ruggedness and reliability of its products. In 1998, the company went out of business and closed its facility in Denver, Colo.
Redfield mounts are not associated with the new Redfield optics line. The new Redfield optics are covered by a warranty, but Leupold® did not assume the former Redfield warranty and does not service previous Redfield products. For more information, go to www.redfield.com. Approximately 600 people are employed in Leupold's state-of-the-art facility near Beaverton, Ore. Leupold is a fifth-generation, family-owned company whose products are sold worldwide to hunters, wildlife observers, competitive shooters, law enforcement officers and special operations military personnel. The product line includes rifle, handgun and spotting scopes; binoculars; rangefinders; flashlights; mounting systems; and optical tools and accessories.

Quality Riflescope for About $130? - Revolution
September 22, 2009 - Built in Oregon for American hunters, Redfield's new line of Revolution™ riflescopes offers an unmatched array of optical, mechanical and functional features in the commonly affordable $130 retail price range. The Revolution comes in 2-7x33mm, 3-9x40mm, 3-9x50mm and 4-12x40mm models, each with a black matte finish and either a 4-Plex or Accu-Range™ reticle. Key features include: * Illuminator® Lens System with premium lenses and vapor-deposition multi-coatings for a bright, crisp sight picture. The system is designed to provide superior light transmission in the critical low-light/blue wavelength conditions that are often present when game is most active. * Accu-Trac™ windage and elevation adjustment system with resettable precision stainless steel ¼-MOA finger click adjustments for superior repeatability and reliability. * Rapid Target Acquisition™ (RTA) lockable eyepiece to help the hunter quickly find the "sweet spot" behind the scope and shoot with greater accuracy. * Accu-Range™ reticle option provides hold points to 500 yards for simple, long-range shooting precision. * Wider field of view than competitive riflescopes. * Comes with coupon for free Scopecoat neoprene scope cover ($20 retail value) with purchase of Leupold® rings. "The Revolution is an ideal choice for the whitetail deer hunter who wants a 'best in class' riflescope for around $130," said Andy York, Redfield's vice president of sales, marketing and technology. "In fact, it's the only choice in its class for those who want a name-brand riflescope that is not made overseas. We are especially proud of the fact that Revolution riflescopes are built in our Oregon facility by American workers. They embody the Soul of the American Hunter™ and their craftsmanship is second to none. Our workers' skill, hunting backgrounds and experience, combined with state-of-the-art design, manufacturing, assembly and testing techniques, make the Revolution an outstanding riflescope in every way." Revolution riflescopes have a one-inch maintube machined from lightweight aircraft-grade aluminum, and are nitrogen filled to make them waterproof, fog proof and shock proof. Exhaustive testing in the factory and field ensures the scopes' durability. With the Redfield® Industrial Design, three rings of diamond knurling on the eyepiece and a rough texture to the matte finish, Revolution riflescopes sport a rugged look to match its rugged construction. They are covered by the Redfield Full Lifetime Warranty. Revolution riflescopes are the first products in the new Redfield line. Acquired by Leupold & Stevens, Inc. in 2008, Redfield is now a brand of the Oregon-based company. All Revolution riflescopes are built at the state-of-the-art Leupold plant near Beaverton, Ore., where approximately 600 people are employed. The Redfield Gun Sight Company was founded in 1909 by John Hill Redfield. Over the years, Redfield became one of the leading American manufacturers of hunting optics, known for the accuracy, ruggedness and reliability of its products.

Warranty InformationWhen Leupold purchased Redfield in April, 2008, Leupold did not assume the Redfield warranty. Because many Redfield customers have contacted Leupold with regard to the former Redfield warranty, Leupold is making this information available to Redfield optics owners. At this time, three Redfield repair facilities are available should your Redfield product require service: Parson's Scope Service (513-867-0820), ABO USA Inc (305-859-2010) and Iron Sight Inc (918-445-2001). The contacts provided are for information purposes only, as these companies are not affiliated with Leupold & Stevens. Please contact them for all information regarding repair, service, and associated charges. |
