Ernie Simmons used to live in Lancaster co. PA. We were friends. I did a deal with him for stud service with my lab for a new Side X side SKB SXS 12 ga. for which Simmons was the sole importer. I never did care for Simmons scopes, I would chosen Bushnell over Simmon's every time. I don't know how many here know that Simmons was the company that developed and sold the Polly Choke. Ernie sold the company years ago and I have no idea who is making or importing the Simmons brand of products.
