guy you should go with the leupold. they are rugged and dependaple plus clear and accurate. i would recomenned swaroski but that may be some what outside your price range. my bro has a simmons and there is nothing wrong with it its a fine optic but i use leupold and my dad has had one on his rifle for a long time. you would not be dissapointed with a "good" simmons or a leupold.
