Just curious, what model of Redfield is considered the better sight, International or Olympic?

 

To the OP, did you find one?

Win 52 Pre A = Basket Case

Win 52B Repro = Is what it is

Win 52D = Pristine

In ’59, the Int sold for about $10 more than the Olympic.

Wow,  there must be a pretty significant difference then.  I’m close to winning an International model for $150.  Going by the photos I’d rate it around 90%.

Shouldn’t have mentioned anything.  Outbid on both the International and Olympic.  Oh well.

Waste of time to bid before the last 5 min.  If you do, you’re “showing your hand.”  I began learning this about 6 mos after ebay got started.

That’s true for the most part but sometimes life demands we be somewhere else besides the auction site.  This time I was there but wasn’t willing to go any higher than $180.  It would have ended up costing me around $200 be the time I got it in my hands.  Below is the rifle I want to put it on.  I’ve kinda turned into a peep sight guy.

I’ve noticed on the Redfield Olympics the sights have the logo in different places.  Does this have any significant meaning or just different?

The location of the marking did change over time… the sight remained the same.
