LOL, 9 deer rifles 2 muzzleloaders, an assault rifle and a handgun all with Simmons scopes tells me that they dont have THAT many quality problems.
On the other hand,I have purchased one simmons scope and a friend purchasedone at a gunshow.Both were the same model,and bothwere defective.He senthis for repairs andafter it came back,itfailed a second time.When mine failed it simply went in the garbage as I could never trust it after his failed twice and mine failed as well.
