Brother Eyeballjr,
I have a Simmons scope on my 7mm Rem. Mag.
I was in the same shoes as you and I actually researched inexspensive scopes and found Simmons to be the best value.
Was it my scope of choice? NO! But, it was affordable for me.
Once I got it mounted, I was VERY suprise at the fact that it could take the shock from a 7mm and still stay true. I've put close to 100 rounds out of the 7 and STILL shoot 2-3 inch groups at 300 yards.
Plus, Simmons scopes have a lifetime warranty.
I've been very pleased.
Check out their web site before you decide.
Good luck.
