I had a great Redfield 3-9x40 back in the 60's and it was outstanding. I compared the current offering to several others recently when I bought a scope. I found it somewhat difficult to see the reticle. It was not as clear as others in the price range and it had a smaller field of view.
I would highly recommend the Vortex of your choice but the Diamondback is in the same price range and easily beats scopes twice its price. It is solid metal all around, has a warranty equivalent to the Redfield and makes the Redfield look pretty weak for the same money. I like its reticle as I do the Nikon reticle. My nephew bought the Vortex and has been elated with it and I got s used Nikon Monarch for the same price as the Redfield and have been elated with that. The Vortex Diamondback 3-9 would be great on your .22 Hornet and sells around here for about $180.

Bubba,
There are some vintage 4x redfields on e-bay right now for $130. Also a nice redfield 1 3/4 to 4 redfield bidding is at $76 now. These are 1" tubes but there are a few 3/4 " on there to. I would go for the 1" tubes.
The 2x7 i have i bought new in 1962, i also have a 4x redfield widefield that i think i got on e-bay for about $125.
