Default Did You Know ?

You all probbly know Bushnell bought Tasco scopes.

But did you know Bushnell bought Simmons scops also?

Its true.

http://www.simmonsoptics.com

The reason I found out, is I called Simmons to get an eye peace for an older Simmons scope.
And was told that Bushnell bought Simmons Optics and is making Simmons products.

Bushnell is getting bigger all the time.

Who has and still uses Tasco or Simmons rifle scopes ?

not surprising, one low end scope company buys out their other low end scope competition
