You don't have to spend a fortune for a reliable rifle scope - Simmons Aetec 4-14x44mm Riflescope

I own 20 rifles and all are scoped. iam not rich and bought leupolds' burris' vortex and weaver scopes. They all are decent scopes at the lower cost levels. I have owned several simmons scopes in the past with respectful results. However the simmons aetec scope has a higher quality of glass and is more carefully engineered for the average hunter. I have just bought a 4x14x44 and have iton a 30-06 rifle. I find the aetec series superior to some of the other brands in clarity and strength in the field. I own one of the first aetec scopes that I purchased in the early 2000. this scope is still on my 35 marlin and works as well as it did the first day I bought it. You must give it try you won't be unhappy' trust me. Last thing, if your going to match it up against a $3,000 scope there may be some difference.
