RE: Which scope for my rifle?
 

Do you guys know much about the Simmons Whitetail Expedition? According to Chuck Hawks, this Simmons line is better than the Aetec. However, I can't seem to find it at www.riflescopes.com I am considering purchasing this model. The Aspherical Lens and generous eye relief I find quite appealing. I haven't exacty found a price on this scope yet, but if its like the other Simmons, it should be competively priced.

It has been discontinued. Sales lagged FAR behind that of the Aetec.

Actually Simmons is coming out with a new scope... There was an article in Guns and Ammo this month... It looks pretty cool... You can't go wrong with the AETEC though.

RE: Which scope for my rifle?
 

Any particular reason why it wasn't selling? It seems that it was a superior scope than the Aetec. Should I look into buying a used one?

Gorse,
I have recently been looking into buying 3-9x40 Burris combo with the spotting scope. I have been reading many articles and forums, and Burris always seems to recieve praise. From what I read, they are incredibly sturdy, high quality, and American based (although the FF II may be the exception). The combo is also very reasonably priced. But I have also been looking into one of their higher end lines, the Signature Selects. The 3-10x40. I understand this is more expensive, but from what I read, it is well worth the money. However, I also feel that the FF II would be a solid starting point in my "scope experience." Do you (or anyone) know the major advantages of the Sig. Series over the FF II?

Go to www.burrisoptics.com/fullfield.html VS www.burrisoptics.com/signature.html Good luck.

I can get a Sightron SII 3-9x42 for $176.00 plus sales tax - brand new. What do you think?
