RE: simmons scope
The Simmons Aetec's are good optics. They are even better if you can find a used on that was produced in Japan. The problem I have with Simmons is when they introduce a new flagship scope such as the 44 Magn and then the Aetec they produce them in Japan for the first couple of years and then move assembly to the Phillipines. The Japanese assembled optics have alot better quality control than that from the Phillipines. Since they are now owned by Meade that may all change. Only time will tell.
As a side note my Step-Dad recently bought a Simmons Aetec on closeout for under $150. I mounted and sighted it for him. It's on a Ruger Model 77 w/tang safety. So far it has had around 50 rounds through the gun with no problems as of yet.

We've got them on our slug guns - never had a problem and have been absolutely satisfied with them.
We've got them on three 10/22's - never had a problem and have been absolutely satisfied with them.
The top end (priced) scopes are basically a waste of money - like a Rolls Royce, Benz or Beemer, expensive names.

I have a 3x9x32 that I have had for about 15 years and have never had a problem with. I was considering a Aztec for my new .338 but I got a good deal on a Burris so I am going that way!
