RE: New re-designed Simmons and Redfield scopes
Had nothing but bad experiences with Simmons I ran away fron them before the Aetecs were on the market and personally I don't care if the're good or bad now, the're Simmons!!!![:'(]
As for Redfield's, they use to begood until the mid 80's, after that all they made was affordable but not 100% dependable they oftenly got foggy or the zero moved easily. Getting a good one was really a lucky shot.
Oldie, If you want something made in the USA buy a Zeiss Conquest (at least is assembled in the USA!)
