Just replaced a Simmons scope on my new 12 VSS with the above Leupold.   This is my first varible target scope, did I do OK?   Is it a good one?

 

Just curious as the Simmons is an 8x32 and the guy that sold me the gun tells me it's the top of the line Simmons scope.   It's a big scope the same size as my BR Leupold X36.  

 

I like the optics of the Leupolds just a little to much to keep the Simmons.

Good scope, this one is often overlooked in this forum. I like it because it's smaller dimensions and higher powers usually not found in this size of scope. No model of Simmons comes close to the VII's . I use one on a sub 1/2 min angle CZ 204 for high mountain marmonts.

Dale, thanks for the reply.   Wasn't sure I did right with this scope as it's so small compared to my BR Leupolds.    And living in the midwest this rifle won't get shot again probably until May.  So I was very curious what to expect from it.

 

The only way I found that scope was looking at all the scopes Leupold made that said "Target".   And then I found the scope on sale when I went to buy it.

 

I wasn't impressed with the Simmons, actually had double vision after looking through it for 30 minutes.   But my eye sight isn't as good as when I was younger either.
