USMC Green Redfield scope

[RTH1800]

Did anyone notice the USMC Green Redfield scope on eBay. I have no connection to it in any way, but it is a clean looking one.

Looks pretty good- is it just the photo or is the finish on the eye piece and objective a different shade than the finish on the tube?

Sir,
I have two of them and the an anodizing does not match. It is normal. Looks like a great scope.

That is normal. If the color is consisent on the parts run the other way. What was the price? Was it a B prefix serial number?

If its the one for 5k it's been on there for a while.

Pretty sure that`s the one- it`s still listed as of today.

Its been listed for at least, 4 months. Went from 7500$ to actual 5000$.

Different scopes. The $7500 scope was the scope pictured in Senich's book. Long since sold for 7K. The $5k scope (un-numbered without rings) recently sold at the Louisville Gun Show for the 5K. Unfortunately that is what they go for. I sell a lot of them.

It was a nice one. I had it in my hands last weekend.

That sure is strange, I bought the scope in Senich's book and don't remember paying that kind of money for it. It has since been sold to RTH1800.

On this topic, saw this on SWFA earlier:
Redfield 3-9x40 USMC M40 Commemorative Rifle Scope

(No dog in this race/fight, just thought I'd pass it on in case anyone was interested. Not quite like the original but there ya go.)

Compare the two closely and the replica is not even close IMO. After looking at the replica, I have no desire to own one even for a replica rifle.

i just looked at the green m40 scope at leatherwood hi-lux website and they look much better,minus the large adjustment knobs

 

[Mike Radford]

I guess I could be being a bit harsh but I am not fond of the ones currently made. I think the hi-lux ones are the same ones, maybe better pics. To me, a better option is an original blue accurange commercial. Most of the rifles had a blued scope anyway. JMO.
