The Aetec by Simmons is a great scope and a great buy. I have had nothing but good success with Bushnell Trophy's. I seldom spend more than 150.00 for a scope. Never regreted saving the money. Never missed a shot because of a failing scope. I will always spend the most bucks on the rifle. A scope is great but I have shot a lot of game without one and will again. Bushnell for the money is hard to beat. They hold up well and I have had good luck with thier service though I seldom have need of customer service as the scopes hold up for years.
