calling all simmons haters

[standsleeper]

You guys were right. I shot my CZ 527 this weekend. I couldn't get the scope to zero . I took the gun back to Gander Mountain and had the set up checked out. The gun and rings were fine[as I thought they would be]. The problem had to be the scope. I took the simmons 4-12x40 offthe gun. I bougtht the weaver 2-10x 38 I was wanting in the first place. I went out the next day and was playing connect the dots after just a few shots. Now I need to send the 8-point back to simmons. What is going to happen with simmons? Will they send me a new scope or refund my money? I don't need a new scope. I wouldn't wipe my butt with it anyway. Maybe I'll give it to my father in-law. hehehehehe

Well....I have a buddy that has an Aetec...He bought about 6 years ago, so far I have returned it to Simmons twice and twice they have returned a new scope to him...

You bought the scope, so you really have nobody to blame but yourself

[/align]beartooth, It is my fault because I didn't research those scopes before I bought it. I had one on a .17 hmr that had no problems so I thought I was safe. The difference is that a .17 has almost no recoil.My .223 kicks a little more than that. THe Hmr came with a Simmons 3-9x40 8-point scope. It worked well for the entire time I owned the gun. I thought they would all work as well. I was wrong.

I bought a winchester black shadow and this very scope came with it. I only left it on and shot 20 rounds through it to verify it would shoot. Weeks later, I bought the pentax gameseeker. It isnt a scope to really depend on. I put it on my 22 rimfire and I had probles zeroing it as well. But what do you want for 35 bucks? Ej

Hey, its alright, we have all been in that boat before, just be thankful you didn't have the same experience with a rifle [:@]

While none are for any centerfire firearms, I've used Simmons on a few rimfires and been pretty darn satisfied with them. Heck, one I got new for under $25 and it got clear optics and holds zero very well. No complaints here.

I have several Aetecs and have had for years. The Aetec is every bit the scope that My Luepolds are. I have several of them as well. I wouldn,t buy an 8 point but the old White Tail Classics were great and the fixed power Pro hunters can't be hurt with a hammer.

. The Aetec is every bit the scope that My Luepolds are.

Either you need to take a trip to the eye doctor or stop buying fake Leupolds from ebay
