This a great scope for the price. I bought one for my Marlin 30/30 and it has held up perfectly. Very bright and clear optics. I looked at a lot of "lower priced" scopes (BSA, Tasco, etc) before choosing this one, there was no comparison. I have a Bushnell Banner on my other rifle, and they seem to be very comparable in performance. I didn't have any of the issues that the other reviewer mentioned with parallex, maybe he got a bad one or maybe user error. If there is one down side to this scope, its that the eye relief is so much (3.5 - 3.75 ") that it can make for tricky scope placement if your mounting system doesn't have a lot of adjustment range.

This scope is on my main white tail rifle. It is as good as one I have that cost me a lot more last year.Easy to set up and keeps its zero on my 30-06. Its been out in all sorts of weather with no problems. But remember, its a cheaper scope than many, but I shall keep using it as it does me well, and I cant see spending more on a scope when this one is well made.Simmons have done a great job on these scopes.

This scope is super-sensitive to eye placement behind the eyepeice. If you're off, the edges of the view get real fuzzy, and it gives bad reflections from surrounding light. But even worse, with the rifle locked down in a vice, slight movements of the eye from center (but within tolerance for aforementioned problem) cause the point of impact as indicated by the cross hairs to move around on the target - ALLOT. It's very difficult to get good groupings with this scope; recommended only for the most expert of marksmen - you will need the skill to get good results. Another issue is the recticle adjustments. Easy to do without tools, but the 1/4 MOA "clicks" aren't good clicks; very soft and spongy - it's very easy to lose count when moving them. I bought two of these for my 9 year old daughter's first guns; after working with them for a day and a half; I set them aside and bought her a Leupold VX-1. Proof once again: You get what you pay for.
