We quit selling Simmons many years ago due to quality problems.

Iceman....I hate to point out the obvious, but the simmons was on with the boresighter too. Did you shoot it? I would start over with new mounts. I would then return the scope if it still has issues. They have a GREAT service Dept now. Same one as Bushnell if memory serves me correctly....Didn't Blount buy them out?

RE: I Screwed Up BIG Time
Hmmm.. Looking for a better scope, you replaced a Bushnell with a Simmons??
The fastest, most effective remedy would be to put the Bushnell back on. If you can't afford a Leupold, that is!

Just to see I put the old scope back on the rifle and it was almost dead on with the bore sight I did.

On the other hand,I have purchased one simmons scope and a friend purchasedone at a gunshow.Both were the same model,and bothwere defective.He senthis for repairs andafter it came back,itfailed a second time.When mine failed it simply went in the garbage as I could never trust it after his failed twice and mine failed as well.
