RE: simmons scope
jip40,
Depends on the buck's you have to spend.Simmons is a Wal-Mart class of scope
and its all right for a starter.They all make a less expensive and more expensive
scpoe.In my Opinion the higher priced Simmons are good.They also make
a shotgun/muzzle loader scope.
These are good scopes to start with and learn.
I moved up to Zeiss scopes along time ago,but I think I've have had them all .
Except.....the Russian! Sorry, Sasha....

RE: simmons scope
I bought a Ruger 77 MK II rifle in 30-06 from a friend that was topped with a Simmons 44 Mag. That scope has served me well over the last five years and I have no complaints. Have been considering upgrading however for a bit more light gathering.
I have a Simmons 4X on my .22 and it has been deadly on squirrels. And I have a Simmons 2X prodiamond on my turkey gun (Mossberg 835 which gives that scope plenty of abuse) and absolutely love it.
I have read horror stories on this forum about how lousy Simmons scopes are---but so far I have had no complaints. I'm sure I could do better spending some more bucks---and when some of those bucks come my way---perhaps I will---but I am a happy camper right now.

RE: simmons scope
i have a simmons aetec on my omega and it is an awesome scope. it is the best out there for under $200. I also had a simmons 8-point 3-9x40 on a .270 rifle and it was a good scope. It was not near as high quality as the aetec, but i never had problems with it and it kept its zero. The aetec is a great scope and i highly recommend it to anyone.

RE: simmons scope
I have a 50$ 8 point 3-9x on my .243. Honestly as cheap as it was, I can't complain...I sighted it in last october and it's yet to loose it's zero. I was hitting skeet at 150 yards with it very commonly and even paper targets farther out then that....Of course I'd love a chance to get an upgrade if I can get some cash.
