    Redfield tracker scope any idea on age?

    Optics seem fairly good on this scope. It's 6x fixed focus, but might go well on an SMLE sporter.
    Probably 70's or 80s, but not entirely sure.

    Maybe around 30 years. Good scopes. I still have one in perfect condition, the five star model.

    I'm wondering that too.
    I'm trying to go by the style of the font used too.
    I think its possibly around 1980 or late 70s.
    I've also got an older wide view scope that I think is late 60s that I just installed on a 303.

    Closer to forty. I picked my 2-7x late 80s and it was 4-5 years old then.
