Its done, dead, history, gone with the wind like scarlett o'hara. I have two simmons scopes. Neither one will hold a zero, one of which never did out of the box, the other one was subjected to the abuse of a braked 7mm mag, and an unbraked 300rum. The latter also is blurry. To me, it is typical of the quality of simmons and their price point. The pentax hopefully will be better quality. If you have a warranty on the simmons, use it, get it fixed, then sell it. I've had good luck so far with the new redfields, I stuck a 2-7x on my 375H&H, and managed this 4 shot grp
Other than that, you get what you pay for on cheap scopes. Best to save the money and get good glass, so it is less likely to fail on an import hunt.
