Redfield 4x Widefield Scope - Amazing & Ahead of its Time so it Failed
This video analyzes the Redfield 4x Widefield scope, a rifle optic from the 1970s that offered an exceptionally wide field of view, comparable to modern tactical optics like the ACOG. Despite its innovative design and impressive performance for its era, the scope failed commercially due to being perceived as too unconventional for hunters and not sufficiently tactical for the emerging tactical market. The video highlights this as an example of a product being too far ahead of its time.
