Guess I'm the odd ball. Looks wise I like the Tasco better. However, shooting I might would like the Simmons better. Not sure I like being able to zoom in. Is that the Tasco Buck Sight? If so that's what I have on my Marlin muzzle loader. Looks identical.


That's a sweet looking gun though. I bet you love it. Am I right? I really like the looks of that thing.

Hey hometheaterman, the Tasco is indeed the "Bucksight" model. Yep, I do love that little gun. I wish I could lend you the 4X Simmons to mount on your gun for one range session. I think you would be impressed.

I think I more than likely would too. I've never had a fixed 4x scope. Well, I take that back I have on a pellet gun but never on a regular gun. I've gotten used to zooming in but I think that if I shot it a bit to get used to it I'd like the 4x just as much if not more. I have that Tasco on my Marlin muzzle loader and I put a Leupold VX-1 I had as a spare on my new Remington Genesis. Both are 3x9. The my other two rifles that have scopes also all have 3x9's. One is a Simmons and one a Burris. So as you can tell most of what I have is 3x9's. I like them but I think if I had a fixed lower power scope I'd like it a lot too. As long as I'm not taking 2-400 yard shots which is when I zoom in. I shot a deer this year with my rifle at around 150 yards and had my scope on 5x and it did just fine.

Is the X7 Omega a new model? I don't see it listed in the catalog. And I didn't a hammer either.

It's listed in the Special Models section of their web page.

The Simmons definitely looks better, but a 2x7 Leupold would look better still.

Just remember though, you only have to please one person with that thing.

I have a 2x7 Loopy on my Browning 1885 45-70. Great Scope. It's 11" long. I almost switched it to the X7. The Simmons is 9 1/2 inches.

EDIT: How the heck did you put that on MY gun UC??? It seems to me that you have to send me that scope now.
