OUESTION FOR GB or anyone

The ATV was originally a contract scope between Simmons and Walmart, but there was some sort of disagreement twix the 2 and the OEM ended up selling them to big retailers like Natchez and Sierra instead. They sold originally for $149 or so, have fully multi-coated lenses and I'd have to rate them with the Nikon Prostaff to Buckmaster in quality. They have been selling at Natchez up until they ran out for em for $79...There have been a few on ebay, but I don't think you'll find em available very often any more. I have 2 of em and wish I'd would have bought more, they're a great scope for the money when you can get em as cheap as they've sold for recently. I've read of many that have been used on centerfire rifles and they seem to hold up well as far as reliability.

Contrary to what some might think I really don't sit around all day waiting for e-mail questions to come in so I can answer them. I have many other things besides the computer to take care of in an average day. BUT I got no e-mail from you.

Anyone who has read very many of my replies around here could likely have given you my answer tho.  :eek:  If the Simmons name is attached my response is I'd not have it if free. If I had it I'd give it to you for free. Every single Simmons scope with which I've had any experience has been a piece of trash. This includes new and used top of the line and lower lines. I would not ever recommend anyone spend money on one. If you wish to do so feel free. But don't look for any support in making such a decision from me.
