Is this a good deal?
« on: March 23, 2013, 03:30:24 AM »
found this locally and they guy offered $285 - it is a NI serial number .223 in nickel finish with Simmons Aetec scope
I don't know much about the Simmons value or if this is a respectable deal with the scope or not - seems to be but thought the experts could chime in

If it's something you want, I think it's a good deal.  Look at it like this: Scope ought to be worth at least $75-$85.....................with that is the gun worth $200?  Sure!

If you are in the market for a 223, jump on it!

It appears to be the older aetec, which many consider the best scope simmons ever made. They regularly sell on ebay used for over 100$. So yes I would say it is a good deal.

 I would buy it. I wish I would have purchased a stainless model when they were out. It would be coola if they would start making some again.
