Mixed experience, part i - Simmons 22 MAG 3-9x32mm Rimfire Rifle Scopes w/ Rings

For an entry-level scope, I was impressed with the clarity of the glass, the crisp reticle, and the slim design that is perfect for my rimfire caliber rifle. The rings actually clamped down very well onto the dovetail rail mount, which was surprising considering that most purchasers had bad experience with them, understandably. The zoom worked well, albeit quite stiff to turn. The finish is rather thin and the lens covers are hard plastic, but they serve a function. First volley on the range and the accuracy was amazing (one inch high, but tight group @ 20 yds.). However, that's where all the great things stopped as the elevation turret would not change the reticle to adjust the point of impact. Thanks to the generous return and shipping policy by OP, it has been sent back for an exchange. Normally I would just get something different, but I believe the Simmons .22 mag rimfire scope is a very good buy if everything is working properly, so I will give it another chance to redeem itself. I can only recommend this product at this time because of OPs return policy and will provide further review after the replacement is received and tested. Ergo, currently a 2 star performance because of a major malfunction, but with the potential for 5 if it works to full potential.
