Putting a Simmons on a Sako is a sin roughly equivalent to having sex with your mother-in-law.
I think I'm going to be ill at the thought![:'(]

I can't even believe that my wife is related to that thing...er..woman! But your point is well seen.
Anyway, I think I'll probably just go with my original plan and put a Nikon Monarch on it, or maybe a Bushnell 4200 Elite. I'm prepared to spend $500 on the scope, or even a shade more. I think I might try an Aetec on my Savage 10ML-II. It's got a cheapy Bushnell on it right now and I wouldn't mind having better glass on it.
I really appreciate everyones input.

Do you plan on hunting with it right away? I'd put the Simmons on it and see how you like it, then, if you need to, retire the Simmons to the Savage and buy the Nikon of Bushnell for the Sako.
