Default RE: Simmons Aetec and others

I had one of the expeditions when I was trying out scopes for my 17hmr. I used it for a couple of days and it was a really nice scope. It was a larger varmint type scope around 20 power or so with the adjustable objective. It went for around 200 some dollars at Cabela's. I had to spend another $200 to get a scope that I thought was better.

The only reason I didn't keep it is I wanted slighty better optics at 100 yards, not that the ones on the simmons were bad. It blew away any BSA or simular type scope I have used in the past and was better than the simmons 44 mag series my buddy has, at twice the power! All the adjustment rings turned nice and smooth like a quality camera lens and looked built very well. I thought it was better than the leupold I looked at for over 400 bucks in over all function and looks. The leupold did have better glass I thought, that was just comparing them in the store though.

For 60 bucks I would snag one up in a heart beat, and I'm broke. I would love to have one for that price to put on my ML.
