That's the same scope I have on my Handi hornet, great scope, X-hair is a little thick, but it works great....the krinkle finish is about the only down side of it, but for $100, it's a great scope.

Here's a pic with the matte ATV on the bottom.

I have a 2.5- 10 Simmons Whitetail Classic on my Remington 243. Its a good scope, though not quite as nice as the Whitetail Expedition. Still I was considering one of these as well. Only the thick cross hairs and size of it has held me back from buying one.

The one midway has on sale is what my son and I have on our 223 ultras
 We have 8 -32 -50 or 60mm on our 204R s they are to much power.
we like the 6.5-20, just My opinion. Marv.

I have three of these scopes!  One on my Number 1 223, one on nef 243, , and nef 270.  I have never had any problems with this scope.  My father had one on a High Wall 45-70 that didn't last with his very stout loads, but he sent it back to Simmons and they gave him a new one.  Can't beat that for service.

Simmons scope are a really inexpensive good scope. Good eye relief. I got one on my Henry .22 and just mounted one last   night on my Rossi 30-06. Will try it out tomorrow if it doesn't snow.

Still looking for a scope for the Nagant huh lostsniper :)
Only one way to try it...buy it.
Probably a better bet than the Tasco or BSA, my friend. It will add some weight to it as well, just keep that in mind :agree: .
