Scope for H&R .223 Bushnell or Simmons

[Ken424]

I want to replace the scope I have on my .223 ultra and I was going to get either the busnell banner 6-18X50 or the 6-24X40.  I then saw that I could get a Simmons Whitetail Classic 6.5-20X50 for $99.00.  The Simmons is fully multi-coated and I don't think the banner line is fully multi-coated.

I thought I saw that Quickdtoo had one of the Whitetail Cassics on one of his rifles, but the search engine is down so I can't find it.

Does anyone have any experience with these scopes?  I am looking for opinions/recommendations.

Thanks!

I did have it mounted on my .280, but have since put a TacII on it. Here's the pic tho, you'd need to use a hammer extension, but it will fit in medium Burris Sig Zees. Great scope, I had it on my hornet for a while, but it's a bit bigger than I wanted for it, so I put an ATV on it. The WTC18 is made in the Phillippines, very clear and great resolution, the reticle is a bit course and the granite "krinkle" finish is a little different, but other than those 2 issues, it's great glass for the money.

I have one on my 35 whelen, BC45-70, 270 and they all work great for me.  I think it would be a great 223 scope. Great value for the $$$

 I Have the Simmpns WT classic on my 223 & 219 Zipper I like the 6.5 - 29 .
 But put 8-32 X 50 on my 204R, not real carzy about it, too much power.
 Just my 2 cents Marv.
