RE: Intensity optics
I thought Mead bought Simmons, but they might have sold them off. I would not recommend buying a cheap scope. Save your money and put $150+ into it. I, personally, wouldn't go less than $250 for a Bushnell 4200 especially if you are going to be hunting at early dawn or late dusk light. Most of the cheap scopes, you will be able to see a deer with your naked eye better than the scope.

How about Nikon? You can buy a Nikon 3X9X40 Team Primos for $179.95, suppose to be the Monarch but made for Primos.. A lot of good deals on here.
