I just had a wonderful experience with the people at Simmons. I purchased a Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x 9 years ago and put it on my .308. It worked great until this spring when I couldn't shoot a group with it any more, I spent two months fiddling with the rifle before I switched scopes out and my groups magically came back to less than an inch! I sent the scope into Simmons with an explanation and history on the scope about three weeks ago and received a brand-new replacement in the mail yesterday and my only cost was the $10 for s/h they request you send with the damaged scope. They were very pleasant on the phone and I got a brand-new scope out of the deal, I couldn't be happier!
Just thought I'd share my good experience.
