Well as I've wrangle through the scope information, & run my 1st box test on the older Redfield... a couple things I'll be looking for...

1st... repeatability
2nd... turrets that reset to zero
3rd... Parallax adjustment ( needed at 50 yards to 300 shooting distances )

the newer scopes provide much sharper images, than the older Redfield ( for example ) which helps with the aging eyes...

I've also found I don't like battery powered scopes, for my use in this group of rifles... I moved a lit reticle Vortex 3-9X to one of my Contender carbine barrels, both because of it's magnification level, & the fact that it has a battery
