i have a atec simmons on mine in 2.8x10x44 so far its been good. before mississippi laws would pemit scopes i used the zero x pentax it was great for shooting paper plates but when i hit the woods the deer that came by at 50 yrds looked like ants i got one but only cause it stood there long enough to let me look over the scope about ten times to make sure thats what i was aiming at, after that i went without untill i got that red dot after i missed a few using that i took it off in the woods and said the heck with all that stuff and went with open sights till the magnacation was allowed. once you get that new gun broke in you will like it, just don't get mad cause its to hard to load, just keep a slege hammer in you pocket to hammer them first few hundred rounds down into the bottom.
