You get what you pay for. There is a box in our attic that has 14 unserviceable scopes in it. There are a couple of old Weavers that just got worn out after 30-40 years. There are a couple of cheap Bushnell and a couple BSA scopes. One is a Simmons that was used on a muzzleloader for a few years. Another Simmons died after about one year: It worked great until one day it went haywire and i missed a hog at 40 yards. Had a Nikon ProStaff on another muzzleloader for about four years but it also went bad. No more cheap scopes for this guy.
i like fixed power scopes. Beginning a few years ago my cheap scopes were gradually replaced with Zeiss 4X and 6X scopes as well as Leupold FX II 4X and FX III 6X scopes.
