Here is my take on it, just recently bought a new Simmons Prosport, 3-9x50 for my .22, trying to save a little money, retails for $109, and it was a mistake. I had a $250 Bushnell on my last .22 and the difference is very obvious. The Bushnell was so good I could actually see the small .22 hits in the paper where this Simmons has just a slight distortion in the lenses at any setting and magnification, enough that the hits on even the DirtyBird targets are blurry. So I saved maybe a hundred or a hundred fifty, but I've got a scope that's got lousy clarity, it was hard to sight in and at 50 yards there is a slight distortion at every setting--so I'm setting money aside for a better scope and it won't be a Simmons---
