Of all my scopes, my 2 failures were Trashco and Simmons! Both Trashco and Simmons will replace their scopes! But that doesn't replace the trophies that could have been! I put too much $$$, time, sweat and blood into hunting, I won'twaste all of this on a cheap scope again!

Thank you all for the info so far. Sounds likeI would be better off not going with the simmons.

You're learning...........

Simmons and Higher end is an Oxy-Moron

Simmons=junk. None of the ones I have had or used could even compare to the Bushnell Banner scopes. Lens is distorted. They don't repeat zero (providing you can get them to zero in the 1st place).
They aren't worth the time it takes to mount them, even if free.

yea, i agree. a good iorn site would serve better than a cheap scope. i started out with tasco then to simmons then to bushnell. none of them made me cry when they went into the trash. now if it doesnt say nikon, it wont go in the woods with me. i really cant see myself going to another brand for the price and the quality.

BURRIS MAKES SOME GOOD RIFLE SCOPES THAT AREN'T TOO EXPENSIVE.

IMHO the Simmons, Tasco and other $89 dollar specials on a hunting rifle are about like the old country song, "Wasted Days and Wasted Nights".

To me when you buy a scope you get what you pay for most of the time.
Like I said most of the time Simmons scopes are good on low power rifles. I have never seen a Simmons scope last if it was put on any Rifle bigger than a 243 win.
I like Bushnell 3200 or leupold

Junk they are all JUNK.
buy a Burris
