[QUOTE="Dave King, post: 13581, member: 3"] I have seen these scope around and believe I may have owned one for a few days. Redfield scopes seem to be good quality so I'd guess this one would be fair too. Here's a little blurb I liberated from another web site, it covers a bit on the cams and sighting in. (It was stuck in the middle of a rather long page, so rather than pointing to it I copied it here.) "In a nutshell using this scope is a matter of centering the animal you are hunting between the two horizontal cross hairs. This centering is done with the power selector knob. You can then figure out the range to the animal by the distance uncovered in the optical view of the scope. If memory serves me, I believe the horizontal crosshairs are calibrated for the body size of a large deer. If the animal is centered between the horizontal lines and "600" is showing on the view for the distance, then the animal is about 600 yards away. The elevation turret is then dialed to the estimated range. (The gun must be originally sighted in with the knob set to the "0" location ) If everything is estimated correctly, then you can shoot directly to point of aim on the animal. Did you get all the turret knobs that originally came with the gun? The proper knob for the caliber of the gun must be on the gun. The original paperwork that comes with each scope lists the different turrets and what caliber's they go with. I do not know of any source for extra knobs or the paperwork at present if yours are missing." As to it's effectiveness on PD's at 50-0 yards, I'd say you'd need the correct cam and a system to calibrate the PD size to the scope. For deer at a "couple of hundred" yards, hold dead-on and shoot using a 200 yard zero (1.5 to 2 moa up). I know there are folks that work on all types of scopes, but Blount may not be interested. I don't have any idea on value/worth. [/QUOTE]
