A Redfield 3-9 x ?? was the first scope I ever bought, Ive had it on a 243, a 22 and now its on a pals 222 which I had out at the dens today, cracking little scope for little money, itl be 15 yr old now and NEVER had a bit of bother with it.
What I would say is the field of vision is maybe a bit tighter than the more expensive scopes but if you arent use to them then it wont be an issue.
