I will prefer ironsights before buying any of this two scopes.
Simmons are cheaply made, have poor eye relief and virtually no quality......bottomline....crap!
Boy oh boy aren't you a wealth of knowledge. CurrentSimmons scopes excluding the redesign are better then most scopes out there. I haven't heard too many complaints about Aetecs for example. The new redesign is a very nice scope at least on paper. I will look at one seriously butI just won't buy it because its made in China and that is the only reason.
On the other hand Redfield haven't made a decent scope in decades. I don't think they're gonna start doing them now.......
Redfield has been out of business for a couple of years in case you didn't know.
The new redfields look terrific on paper. I will look them over real carefully when dealers start stocking them. They are not going to be cheap either in Quality or Price.
