Overview

Red-Line Optics builds the P-47 Thunderbolt II as a 6-24x50 rifle scope on a 1-inch monotube with a second focal plane reticle and locking turrets, aimed at hunters and long-range shooters who want repeatable zero without paying for a premium optic.

The scope is rated by the seller for calibers from .22LR up to 30-06, and several owners confirm mounting it on centerfire rifles without issue. Turret adjustment quality appears inconsistent between units: most reviewers describe crisp, audible clicks that hold zero, but one buyer received two units where neither turret would adjust in any direction and had to return both.

  • 6-24x50, 1 inch monotube, second focal plane
  • 9 lens elements with multicoating
  • Locking, audible-click turrets
  • Shock tested .22LR through 30-06 per the seller

Who it's for

Fits hunters and range shooters who want a mid-price scope with locking turrets and an illuminated reticle for low-light use. Less suited to buyers who can't tolerate any risk of a defective unit, given at least one report of turrets that wouldn't adjust at all.

What buyers say

From Amazon customer reviews.

Most reviewers praise the turret feel, low-light clarity and value for the price, and several single out direct, personal customer support, including one case where the company owner called to resolve a reticle issue; against that, one buyer's two units had turrets that would not adjust in any direction, and another found the brightness control and setup instructions inconsistent.

Strengths and trade-offs

Drawn from this product's published specifications.

What to check first
  • One buyer's two units had faulty turrets
  • Setup videos hard to find on website
  • Illumination brightness control worked inconsistently once
