Very good budget option - Simmons ProTarget Rimfire 3-9x40mm FMC Rifle Scope

This is the 3rd scope in the Simmons ProTarget rimfire line I have purchased and this one rounds out the collection. I now own all 3 in their line. I will start with the negatives; this scope does not have the finest optical quality and the objective focus ring and magnification rings are very stiff and not the easiest to manipulate. The reticle is a bit on the thick side but completely usable. However, for the price the optical clarity, the super positive click adjustable turrets and the BDC (.22lr & .17HMR) are great. I am a believer in this line and wish that in the future they include it with a .22 WMR turret...anyone listening Simmons? Are there better options on the market?....sure but they cost twice as much or more and when you own as many rimfire rifles as I do these are a great budget choice. I have been shooting and handloading for 30 years please believe me when I say these scopes are a fantastic value.
