RE: NEW 2005 Simmons Aetec ??
Goose, I had a Burris Sign while it held POI and functioned fine, it certainly wasn't a great performer in terms of optical performance for the price IMO. I have since sold it and use a Conquest instead, the optical gain is noticable with the Zeiss over a number other scopes I have tried or owned. I have 2 Conquests now mounted on a 7mm rem mag and 50 cal inline. I have never used a Aetec personally so can't say anything good or bad, just in case your still flippin' coins you may want to take a look at Conquest as well.
