Redfield was purchased by Leupold in 2008, and is only able to repair and service Redfield scopes made in 2010 or later. If it was made before 2010, then it isn't covered by warranty, but Leupold does suggest contacting Iron Sight, Inc, if you want to ask about repairs and associated costs. Here's what the Redfield/Leupold website says:
When Leupold & Stevens, Inc.® purchased Redfield in April 2008, it did not acquire the capability to repair Redfield products manufactured prior to this purchase. The repair tooling and parts were purchased years ago by other repair services. Leupold & Stevens, Inc. will service its manufactured Redfield product (manufactured from 2010 forward) in accordance with its published warranty.
At this time, should a non-Leupold & Stevens, Inc. Redfield product require service, we suggest contacting Iron Sight, Inc. (918) 445-2001. This contact is provided for information purposes only, as Iron Sight Inc. is not affiliated with Leupold & Stevens Inc. They should be contacted directly for all information regarding repair, service and associated charges.
also provides good information suggesting the marks on their reticle be
used for zero at 100yds followed by circles below representing 200, 300,
400 and 500 yds if the cartridge travels around 2800 ft per sec. Nikon
suggests the center cross hair be zeroed at 200 yds for magnum calibers
traveling around 3000 ft per sec. We understant that each variation of
different bullet weight and powder charge changes trajectory and a scope
manufacturer can not build a different reticle for each different
cartridge made so practice on the range to determine how well the marks
relate to the actual impact of where your bullet strikes at a know
distance is important. The one thing that people using BDC scopes
typically have problems with is that a BDC scope has the reticle in the
second focal plane of the scope. If the reticle was in the first focal
plane of the scope the reticle would look smaller on low powers like 3x
and grow proportionately larger as the power increased to say 9x top
power. The problem is that while the marks on the BDC reticle correspond
accurately to the bullet drop at the know distances 200, 300yds etc.
What happens when you lower the power from the scopes maximum power to
any other lower power is the reticle stays the same size and the field
of view within the scope increases which means that the distance between
these marks on the BDC reticle no longer corresponds to the point where
the bullet will strike. In short BDC reticles only work at the maximum
power of the scope or at a set specific power. At all other powers these
BDC reticles do not accurately represent where the bullet will strike.231 views
