Bushnell

If you can use a straight power. Then either would be fine. I would stay away from the cheapes variable scopes but I have a Simmons Pro-Hunter 6X40 on my 30-06 and it held up well for years. The Banner and Troghy Bushnells have been very good to me. The troghy is a bit better scope for a little more money. The Simmons Aetec is the best of all but may be more than you want to spend at 130-160 dollars depending on where you find it.

Ditto on the Simmons pro-hunter

Banner and in fixed power.Avoid cheap variables.

I have 2 Simmons - Great Scope for the $$$$

I have a Simmons AETEC on my Omega and it is awesome. I think it is as clear and high quality as a Leupold. It is also very bright and has a wide FOV. It has a lifetime warranty too.

i have a simmons prohunter 4-12x40 nice scope for $150 CND

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

My vote goes to Simmons. The Aetec is an awsome scope for the price. If that's still too much try a pro hunter. I don't care much for Bushnell.

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

I have several Simmons and one Banner 4x12 that is probably 18yrs old and is so beaten up that it literally has pieces missing but still keeps 3/4" or less patterns @ 100yds. Not bad for a cheap scope.

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

crzy, give us a better idea of the your price range...

To some, $200 is a cheap scope; to others, it's $20.

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

$100 is about the limit cause i am only 16yrs old so i dont have money rollin in

Hey Crzy-hunter, I use a Simmons Atec on one of my rifles and like it better than my Nikon Buckmaster scope. I live down here in Wade, N.C and you know how thick and dark the woods get in first and last light, well that Atec will lite it up real good. Very clear also.

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

I have 3 Simmons scopes and all are very good scopes for the money. 1 is on my 7 Mag ( 4X12X50 range finding ), 1 is on my Turkey Shotgun ( 1.5X5 Pro Diamond ), and 1 is on my muzzleloader ( 3X9X40). I had a Banner on a Marlin 45-70 and the recoil blew the crosshairs apart inside!
Won't buy another Banner.

RE: BANNER OR SIMMIONS
 

Given your budget, I'd suggest a Simmons ATV from Natchez Shooters Supply (www.natchezss.com). 4.5-14x40.

Under $90, delivered, on closeout from the original $189 or so. Beautiful scope; I've got a couple.

Good luck...
