The redfield scope isn't at all bothered by recoil. The reticle doesn't shift, even when faced by severe recoil. If a double charged 180gr .30-06 round on a 6.25lb rifle (this was a factory round from a well known and reliable manufacturer that broke my sling swivel while the sling was just hanging loose) doesn't shift the reticle or damage the scope, pretty much nothing will.
Clear glass and it works well right up to dark. They are not fancy, don't have all the bells and whistles of some, but they work and work well and are reliable. On my experiences with them, i would happily recommend them.
That's pretty much how I see em too mate, no bells and whistles no fuss and just work and work well for the $$$ paid for em, you can pay $1000's more but not get the corresponding performance gains for the $$$ spent.
For a set and forget type scope they work fine as do the Nikons that I also use and own.
I was just out testing the Redfield on a street sign at around 340m or so away and could read the name on the sign so plenty clear enough for my needs (bunnies in this case) checked it out under street lights the other night and it was fine, good as anything else I own, (Leupold, Zeiss, Nikon, Jap Tasco, Philippines Tasco, Redfield) they all work and do the jobs I bought em to do (hunting/spotlighting).
