Default Simmons Pro Hunter.

Anyone use these? I've used a Simmons on a .22 and it's one of my favorite scopes I've used. Has taken a ton of abuse and never lost zero. I can't say anything bad about it really other than it's not quite as clear as some others I've used.

Right now I'm using a Burris Fullfield II 3x9x40mm. I really have found myself wanting a higher power scope. I also don't want to spend a ton for one though. Simmons Pro Hunter has a 6x21x44mm that looks like about what I want. I've got several friends that also use Simmons and love them but I don't know that any of them use Pro Hunters. Any comments?

I would keep the Burris till I could upgrade my scope selection. I'm not a Simmons fan and I think the Burris is better quality.

+ 1 for Burris.



Take a look at their Signature Select line.

Simmons ranks towards the bottom of my list.

My experience with Simmons optics (scopes and binos) has been dismal.
