Welcome to our review of the Redfield 115204 Revenge Rifle Scope. Redfield is owned by parent company Leupold, and it’s time to see if the quality on the Redfield lineup of scopes matches the quality of Leupold. The price tags are certainly better, especially if the quality is on par.

What Are the Dimensions of the Redfield 115204 Revenge Crossbow Scope?

Redfield’s 115204 Revenge scope requires 5.6” of mounting space. The scope itself is 11.3” long and weighs 13.6 ounces. It’s roughly the average size of most included scopes, so it shouldn’t take up too much additional space in your case.

How Much Magnification Do I Get From the Redfield 115204 Revenge?

Magnification on the Redfield 115204 Revenge is from 2X to 7X, and the scope features a four-plex reticle for adjusting your aim for range. The magnification on this scope is quite good, keeping the target clear and crisp even out to maximum range. I’ve used this scope extensively on my crossbows and rifles, and always found the scope able to focus in on my target no matter what range I was shooting from.

One beef I have with this scope is that 34mm is a tad on the smallish side for such extreme magnification as 7X. When I’m glassing a target out at that range, there is not much field of view left in the scope. Your field of view out at a hundred yards will only be about 13 feet.

The other problem I see with this scope is the four-plex reticle. The scope doesn’t provide any indications of range adjustments, which means you have to mentally adjust your aiming sight for different ranges. This, however, is primarily owing to the fact that the Redfield 115204 Revenge is designed as a riflescope, not as a crossbow scope, so it would not have appropriate range reticles for a crossbow, anyways.

How is the Optics Quality on the Crossbow Scope?

The optics are multi-coated and provide an excellently crisp, clear picture of your target and beyond. The tube is nitrogen-filled, so you can be assured of years of fogproof usage from this scope.

What’s the Light Gathering Capability Like on the Scope?

This scope is one of the nicest scopes I’ve ever used in low light conditions. The picture in this scope is just as clear and crisp at dawn or dusk as it is at high noon. I’ve taken deer and turkey in cloudy, pre-dawn conditions with this scope, and always found the target image to be crisp and full of contrast through the Redfield.

How Wide is the Field of View?

At shorter ranges, the field of view is quite reasonable, giving you 43 feet of view at 2X magnification. Step up the magnification, though, and the field of view drops like a rock, with barely 13’ visible at full magnification. This is only a 34mm scope, though, so that isn’t too surprising.

How Easy is the Scope to Mount?

The scope does not include rings, so you will want to have a set of 1” rings already, or buy a set. Once you have your rings, the scope is so easy to mount that my 8-year-old can mount his on his crossbow.

How Easy is the to Sight In?

Sighting in the Redfield 115204 Revenge is a dream, with 80 MOA clicks of adjustment for both windage and elevation. It sights in easily, zeroes easily, and holds true through a fair bit of abuse. This is truly one of the best scopes I’ve ever used, and definitely lives up to the name of its parent company.

How Durable is the Scope?

Nitrogen-filled, this scope is weatherproof and fogproof. The durable rubberized armor casing provides quite a bit of shockproofing to the scope, too. While I wouldn’t drop this scope from the roof of my house, it should stand up to normal bumps and falls from short distances without any problems.

Redfield 115204 Revenge Scope Review Summary

Thanks for reading my review of the Redfield 115204 Revenge. This is a terrific scope at a wonderful price, and offers all of the value of the Leupold lineup of scopes at a fraction of the price. The optics are crisp and clear, and the only drawbacks are the narrow field of view of the scope and the lack of range reticles. Other than those minor drawbacks, this is a fantastic scope that works on either a rifle or a crossbow. This is definitely a keeper!
