·ous. That's the best word to
escribe the tremendous kick of a
pistol, especially magnums. And
that's exactly why Redfield makes
scopes specially designed for use with
today's high powered handguns.
Some manufacturers simply offer
rifle-type scopes with extended eye
relief. But atRedfield, we know that's
not good enough.
Our pistol scopes, in I 1/2X,
2 1/2X and 4X, are designed and manufactured
to withstand the recoil of
any caliber handgun you choose to
put underneath. How do we do it?
First, the internal lens assembly is

turers glue in their assembly). This
makes the assembly an integral part
of the scope tube and beefs it up
where the stress is greatest. Second,
we utilized ourfamous rotary dovetail
mounting system to develop our
..Double Dovetail" mount for pistols.
Rings are machined to precise tolerances
to provide uniform pressure
around the scope tube and positive
gripping to retain accuracy. In most
mounts, special recoil shoulders
are incorporated for even greater
strength. In short, these modifications
assure that Redfield Pistol
Scopes will hold up on calibers that
tear other scopes apart.
A durable pistol scope is just one
example of the kind of innovations
Redfield has pioneered to help all
kinds ofshooters since 1909. You can
always depend on Redfield quality
and precision. You'll get the finest
materials available, clear and brilliant
optics, and the highest attention to
detail. Redfield standards dictate that
every scope undergoes over 400
checks before it gets to you.
When you want the finest-quality
precision-made scope on the market,
you need a Redfield. For our complete
