Meade instruments (think telescopes) owns Simmons, so these scopes are great for the money. OpticsPlanet.com is great to deal with!

A great illuminated scope for the money. The only problem with it is that the scope adjustments are sticky and don't adjust as they should. After awhile though they do adjust and settle. Overall it's a good scope and seems to be reliable.

Simmons owned by Bushnell will not even try to replace cap. If it was a Bushnell scope they said they would. It being Simmons it has to be send back. I could not get a Simmons number, to talk to anyone from Simmons! I know there is a bin in some Simmons factory with hundreds of these caps. I should be able to at least buy one, but no. Looks like Bushnell wants to ruin Simmons like Remington is doing to Marlin and Bushmaster. If you can't beat them, merge and ruin them. Bushnell can take there scopes and use them for a Colonoscopy.

Great scope with plenty of eye relief. The intensity dial for the illuminated reticle is just in the right place. Can't wait to sight it in for hunting season!
