I have this very fine scope on a custom Ruger 10/22 (<0.2"@50yds), a custom Remington 700 SPS Varmint in .223 (<0.3"@100yds), and just bought a third one for my new Remington 700SS 5R in .308. This scope is a NEW design with superb clarity and features. YES! You can REALLY get a serious target/sniping scope for less than $200.00 with FREE shipping and no sales tax. Buy one, you will NOT regret it. This scope is amazing!

Great scope for the money. I would buy another no problem. love the mil-dot reticule. would recommend putting it on smaller caliburs, put mine on a 22-250 works like a dream.

Pros:  The scope seems to be clear, and has good features.
Cons:  Like another review, sunshade threads were bad, and dust cover elastic not long enough
Would recommend:  yes

The sunshade on the first one I received was very difficult to attach, and would not seat all the way. This would have been okay except the dust covers would not reach, so I will be taking the sunshade off except when shooting. I did not like paying $9.50 to return defective product. The turnaround was fast, and no questions. The sunshade that I got back with the scope, or another scope, not sure, worked fine. The outer box looked fine, but the inner box looked like it had been beaten or smashed. The scope did not appear harmed, so I have mounted it on my 22-250. I am planning a dog hunt in about 4 weeks. I hope the scope does not have problems from the rough handling. I feel the inner box was damaged before it was placed in the outer box to be shipped.

It had everything i was looking for in a scope at a fraction of the cost of the other guy's. Unfortunately after only 10 rounds of .308 one of the leses shot loose(i can hear it rattleing around with i shake the scope.) Hopefully Simmons will honor their warranty.

Top scope for the money, and the equal of many costing 2-3 times as much. Very compact for the power range. The diopter is one turn adjustable. Parallax adjustment is very sensitive. Brightness,clarity, and reticle are excellent. The extra eye relief is the big bonus for me.
