Washi Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 I have decided to get a different scope. I had a Tasco 3-9x50 and it worked great but was just too big. I got a Tasco 3-9x40 and it's a good size but not near as clear or bright. My dads Simmons Whitetail 3-9x40 looks good so I decide to start my search there. Now I have it down to a Simmons Whitetail Expedition 3-9x42 or a Simmons Aetec 2.8-10x44. They seem pretty darn similar to me. Which do you guys think?

JimT Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: This scope or that scope? 1 or 2 I would use the Aetec out of those two..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted November 25, 2004 Report Share Posted November 25, 2004 Re: This scope or that scope? 1 or 2 They are Simmons #1 and #2 scopes. Either one should serve you well. My Aetec has a little more eye relief, but my WE seems a little brighter. I don't think you will go wrong with either one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: This scope or that scope? 1 or 2 i used to shoot a a simmons atec on my 270 and it was a great scope and my dad loves his on his savage 30-06. i think it's all on you as to which i would say the atec because i have used them under hunting conditions and had a great time and saw very well in low light conditions as well rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VTbowman Posted November 27, 2004 Report Share Posted November 27, 2004 Re: This scope or that scope? 1 or 2 To be honest I am wishing I went to a Pentax Lightseeker over the expensive 3.5x10x50 VarX III Leupold. But I guess I will just have to suffer... Either scope should be just what your looking for... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robk Posted December 1, 2004 Report Share Posted December 1, 2004 Re: This scope or that scope? 1 or 2 busnell 3200 elite or the burris full field both will give you light you want with 95% light transmission and very very clear and well built as well rob k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
