Reviews & Ratings for Simmons 22 MAG Adjustable Objective 3-9X32mm AO Rimfire Rifle Scope w/ Scope Rings — 70 reviews — Page 1

Quick shipment, delivery and great product for the price. Mounted on a Winchester model 290 - .22 rifle. The perfect size for the rifle it is mounted on. I have yet to bore sight it in or shoot with it but cannot wait until I get to get on the range.

I have a half-dozen of these scopes, and have not had any issues whatsoever with them. Just last week I bought a Leupold Freedom Rimfire scope, looking for an upgrade, and I had to take it off and put the Simmons back on the rifle. The Leupold was unusable straight out of the box, it'll have to go back to Oregon. I am not a fan of Simmons rings, but so far, they work okay, though I mostly use CZs rings on my CZ rifles.
It's a heckuva note when a $50 Simmons beats the stuffin's out of a Leupold that costs 4X as much. I think I'd really like that Leupold reticle, if I could see the danged thing. At least I can see what I'm shooting at with the Simmons.
And then Simmons discontinued this model. I guess I'm stuck.

I received the scope within three days after ordering it. The scope rings would not tighten on the grooved barrel of my Savage Model 24. Fortunately they were aluminum mounts and I was able to modify them with a file. With that done the scope was securely mounted and I headed to the gun range. The scope was quite clear for it's price. The parallax adjustment seemed to work. I had some difficulty getting it sighted in. After wasting a half dozen rounds I realized that the windage knob was mounted on the elevation turret and the elevation knob was on the windage turret! Once that was discovered I got it sighted in rather quickly. I was able to get a sub MOA group with CCI Game Points and another group close to that with Federal Premiums. Both groups were at 50 yards. Not bad for a 60 year old Savage .22 Mag. over 20 Ga. Aside from the bad scope mounts and knob mix up I am quite pleased. I have not checked yet to see if I can reverse the knobs. If anyone has advice on that it would be appreciated.

This is actually my second scope of the same model. While Simmons isn't well known for its optics, this scope has remarkable accuracy given the low price. The fit and finish isn't great either, but once I dialed in, I can hit everything I'm aiming at 100 yards. Simmons provides scope rings but they only fit a weaver type mount. If you have a picatinny style rail then you'll have to get new rings. This scope has a lifetime warranty and ironically it's coverage is provided by Bushnell. The skys the limit when guns and scopes are concerned, where do you put the money, optics or firearms? I only shoot for fun and of course it's my Second Amendment Right,so far.

Nice looking scope. Easy to adjust. Didn’t have time to zero completely in, I’m within 1 inch at 50 yds. The wind got up and was unable to zero. The 3x9 variable scope is better than I had thought it would have been for the price.

I bought this Simmons 22 MAG Riflescope to put on a Savage .17 WSM BMAG Rifle. I had bought this same Riflescope several years ago and had it mounted on a Marlin .22 Magnum Rifle and was very satisfied with that scope. I was very disappointed with this new model as the quality of this new scope was terrible. The crosshairs were crocked and off center and squiggly. The finish on the scope body was horrible. I usually buy Leopold scopes for my firearms and I returned the 22MAG to Optic Planet. I purchase a Leopold VX2 4x12x40 for my Savage .17 WSM and I should have done that in the first place! Do not purchase the Simmons 22MAG Riflescope as it is a piece of JUNK.

At this price you are NOT getting the same optical performance as a Leopold or a Zeiss. But this scope is perfectly fine for small-bore plinking out to 100 meters. I am using one on a Savage bolt action in 17 WSM and it performs adequately.

This is a very nice Scope, Also at a great price. Clarity is exceptional. Will Purchase another. Easily Installed and looking forward to the next hunt. Can not say enough about this item. Very Nice. Would also make a nice gift.

Bought this scope on Thursday and rushed home to mount it, then off to the range.
using Winchester .22 HP ammo and could not get it sighted in to save my life at 50 yards. Then I changed over to Blazer 22 ammo and had it sighted in nicely in 10 rounds.
Then I decided to shoot some bowling pins at 25 yards. Couldn't hit a pin at 9X power. Didn't know where the rounds were going so I set up paper target at 25 yards. It was hitting low about 12" and right about 4-6"
For some reason I decided to try it at about 4 -5 power magnification and began hitting pins with no problem.
Now I was really confused so I went home and called Customer Service at Simmons. The guy on the phone said the scope was defective and said I could send it in for repair and I would have to pay for shipping or I could go back to where I bought it and have them send it in for repair. I opted for that. The store tried hard to give me another scope of the same type but I was afraid I would have the same problem so I insisted they send it back as the Customer Service recommended. At least if I get it back, I will know that Simmons repair "should have" taken care of the problem as the POI should not change at such short distances, especially so drastically.
I'll give this scope one more chance when I get it back but if it still doesn't perform as it should, I will insist on getting my money back. I don't like having anything gun related that isn't dependable.
I'm not spending a fortune on a scope fo...
