I have a Redfield 80 S but going through several old books they say Redfield replaced the S with SME. Does anyone know which rifle/manufacture does it goes to.

S probably means Springfield, as "SME" means Springfield, Mauser, Enfield - as I recall..... CCColt, Glock and Remington factory trained LE Armorer

I think Col. is right. The Lyman 57 SME is for Springfield, mauser, Enfield as well. Enfield as in Pattern 14 or Model 1917 not Lee Enfield. They all mount on the right side of the receiver.Comment

Prewar Redfield was for M1903 and the Newton.Comment

By "Enfield" they may mean an M1917/14 with the reciever "ears" cut off like a Model 30 Remington. CCColt, Glock and Remington factory trained LE Armorer

The original question was about an Redfield 80S micrometer adjustable sight. Here is the info that I have. If your sight is designated "80S" it one of the early No. 80 sights.
The Redfield No. 80 micrometer sight was introduced in the 1957 Shooter's Bible (Stoger's Catalog). It was introduced as a companion of the more expensive No. 70 sight. The 70 retailed for $9.50 and the 80 retailed for $7.50. In addition it incorporated a 'quick detachable slide'. The models were:
80 RWT/RWH..... remodeled Enfield (P1914 & M1917)
80 RT/RH............Remington 30
80 ST/SH.............Springfield (M1903), Newton, Jap Mauser
The "T" version had Target knobs and the "H" version had "Hunter" knobs. By this time there were very few NEWTON rifles still in use.
By 1966 The models had changed so that both the 70 and the 80 sight were re-designated SME for Springfield (M1903) Mauser (GEW98) and Enfield (modified P1914/M1917)
I hope this helps.Comment
