With all the talk of the Savage rifle being such a fine shooter I have been thinking of getting one in a 30/06. Now I just can't see droping a $200-300 scope on top of a $300 rifle. So, I'm opting for either a Simmons Aetec 2X10 or a Sightron 3X9 (model name unknown). Has anyone had experience with either scope? My problem is that I've never hunted with anything but a Leupold and fear these scopes won't hold up. I don't quit when the weather gets ugly so being waterproof is just as important as it being able to handle the recoil of an 06.
