Lot 215:
Redfield 3X-9X Variable Power Rifle Scope Green Anodized Finish
Description
This Redfield 3X-9X variable power rifle scope features a distinctive matte green anodized finish on a one-piece main tube. The turret housing is clearly engraved with the manufacturer’s name in an italicized serif font as Redfield, positioned below the magnification range 3X-9X. The adjustment turrets are protected by low-profile, knurled caps. The ocular end features a knurled power adjustment ring equipped with a black thumb stud, allowing for selection between magnification levels 3 through 9, which are marked on the housing. The eyepiece includes multiple knurled sections for focus adjustment, secured by a locking ring on a threaded section. Internal viewing reveals a duplex-style reticle consisting of four heavy outer posts that taper into fine crosshairs at the center. This specific aesthetic configuration, characterized by the green finish and 3X-9X range, is historically associated with the optics utilized on the USMC M40 sniper rifle system.
Condition report:
The scope is in good overall condition with some visible signs of handling and field use. A small silver-colored nick is present on the leading edge of the objective bell (photo 2). Light surface scuffing and minor finish thinning are visible along the main tube and eyepiece housing (photos 1, 3, and 6). The adjustment threads for the eyepiece show some darkening and minor finish wear consistent with regular adjustment (photo 4). The optical view is clear with the duplex reticle intact and properly centered (photo 8).
