I have a 3x9 with the accurange. It does not have a top turret cap, but a dial type adjustment knob. Is this correct? Is there a way to tell the age of the scope. Tombstone intact, glass is very good and scope is not all ringed up, but does have a light ring mark. Approx. Value? Thanks.

Re: Redfield Accurange Questions
Sounds correct-for some calibers. These came with seems like 4 turret caps, each calibrated to cover a range of calibers. So if you put the scope on a 30-30 you would use cap "A", and if you put it on a 30-06 cap "B", or whatever, so the yardages that are marked on the cap would work out.

Re: Redfield Accurange Questions
If it has a tall "target style" knob then it might be an Accu-track. As far as I know (but anyone correct me if I am wrong), it is a kind of BDC turret.

Re: Redfield Accurange Questions
Accu-trac has a tall bdc type turret where could dial in a predetermined elevation based on caliber and bullet weight. It would also have the upper two stadia lines and range scale, different cams were available for different caliber and bullet weight. Accu-range are as pictured below, one can tell the approximate year of the scope by the serial number, although this is a rough estimate.

Re: Redfield Accurange Questions
The 2 I had in the early 1980s were too much of a headache. I hope you have better luck with yours.
I think I read somewhere that Leupold had bought Redfield. I don't know that for fact. It's just on my mind.

Re: Redfield Accurange Questions
were some built with a shine finsish and others with a matt finish or is that an after the fact change?

Hello
I am a new member here and found this thread on classic Redfield accu-trac scopes. I came across this Older vintage Odd Redfield wide-View accutrac scope last weekend, but I have some questions on it. It is super clear with no issues that I can see when looking through it. It has<span style="font-weight: bold"> no Redfield company address on</span> it's focal eye piece like my other Redfield scopes have. It has <span style="font-weight: bold">no serial number </span>either. Other than the one picture that shows it to be a <span style="font-weight: bold">"Redfield 3X-9X</span> below the windage adjustment turret it has <span style="font-weight: bold">no other markings on the scope.</span> It has a Yardage scale that goes from 200 Yards to 600 Yards when looking through the eye piece and above it has the Two thin lines. The center recticle is <span style="font-weight: bold">a Duplex style </span>but the Two upper lines appear to be just normal straight lines, I am assuming this is the yardage lines for the center body mass of an animal ? The scope is finished in <span style="font-weight: bold">High Polished black finish</span>, and the Yardage Turret is <span style="font-weight: bold">very Tall </span>as shown and attaches with a <span style="font-weight: bold">straight slot headed screw</span>, rather than the hex head screw I have seen on other scopes from Redfield. Is there a chance that this scope may have been a<span style="font-weight: bold"> Prototype scope</span>, perhaps for the Military use of sniper rifles ? If anyone can tell me roughly when it was made and anything about it, I sure would appreciate it. What is a scope like this one worth ? Thanks in advance for anyone that can tell me something about this scope. Regards, Hammerdown
