Vintage Redfield 2x-7x accu range

I recently picked up a Model 70 Pre 64 it has a 1950's Vintage Redfield 2-7 on it that is holding a great zero.
My question is how does the scale inside the scope work? Scale goes from 200 yards to 600 yards. Is this scale really used to judge yardage or is it simply for your recticle pleasure?
Thanks guys!

I think the 3x9 was used by the Marine Corp snipers to estimate target distances. Back then, Redfield was a good scope. You are lucky to have one in good shape and working well.
I have never really used the Accu-trac system but the scope itself has proven very reliable for 25 years.
I was really struggling with how to operate it properly and I did not have the diopter set for me so I could not see the two wires, man they are close together!! Very cool, thank you for all the information!
Does anyone know what range of bullet weights these were set for if it did not have the changeable dial in the turret?
