+1 Sheridan!

I have a couple Simmon's scopes in the box of parts that have come off of rifles I bought...I shot through one of them once, it was supposedly pretty new and I was so unimpressed I didn't even bother using it on a 22 or anything else, just tossed it in a box with a few other crappy scopes (BSA anyone???...hahaha). You get what you pay for with Simmons.

Save a few bucks over the next year and invest in something with a lifetime warranty...a good 3-9x40 can be had for under $200 from places like Swift (Premier line) and Nikon (Pro-Staff 5's) and a few other places on sale.

I have never had nor looked through a Pentax...hope it gets ya through your hunt.
