Redfield , simmons, and weaver were all purcased by Meade optics ( makers of telescopes and such ) . They are supposed to be super scopes these days, but unfortunately they are haveing a lot of issues with these sopes right now and are having a terrible time getting any shipped out the door.

I tried to find one of the new Simmons Aetec masters series scopes a year and a half ago. They are still hard to come by. Never have seen one yet.
The simmons are to compete with nikon, bushnell, etc...Upper end of the middle class.

The redfield is coming out to compete with Leupold and such. The prices will start around 550 + dollars.

Weaveer is anybodys guess.
