simmons aetec
« on: January 28, 2005, 05:15:09 PM »
FYI,

I bought a new Aetec at a Scheels store a couple of years ago.  I think it was a display model, as they had lost the lenscaps and sunshade.  I called simmons on thursday, and they said they would mail them out.  No inquisition, no nothing, no cost.  I was surprised and impressed.  It was good pr at least to me.

I like Simmons . I love the Aetec. Midway has them on sale for 128.00 right now. I have never had a bad Simmons but I have only bought the Aetec and Pro-Hunter straight power scopes.

I also have had great luck with Simmons scopes. Although I only have the 6.5-20x50 WTC and their great and inexpensive 30mm Red Dot. The Red Dot was so great 3 others I know who have shot mine have purchased the same one, for $28.00!!!!....<><.... :grin:

I think that Simmons, and here in Arkansas, Bushnell, have gotten such a bad rap is because of the extreme low end scopes in their lines.  When the scope is "free" with a Remington 710 or a Savage (nothing against Savage) then it is probably crap.  I love my Simmons ATV, for $79 bucks then only real problem is the 3" of eyerelief.  But you can't have it all for less than $125.  You CAN get a reliable scope though.

Have never had any trouble with my Pro-Hunter 3-9X40 or my .22 Mag. Both are very bright and clear and stay right on target.

Wonder what they will have new for 2005? I would like to see some more straight power scopes, I don't need variable power scopes all the time. I have a Pro Hunter 6X that I really like. Nothing much to go wrong with straight power scopes.

the Simmons Aetec scopes are one of the best buys going today.when you can buy one for $130.00 there is nothing out there to thats comes close to them.i own 3 of the Aetecs and i have them on my main hunting guns.i love that 5 inch of eye releaf when the scope is set on the lowest power setting.i can load my muzz loader up to max with no fear of getting scope eye with a Aetec scope.the Bushnell trophys do come close to the Aetec  scopes for being a good bargin but the eye releaf doesnt come close to the Aetecs.the warranty on them is very good too but everyones warranties are good on scopes today
