the new simmons, and three others are all now made by meade, and are quite fine, really, one piece tubes, direct erecting control knobs, better glass. you'll get no complaints from me. also Daisy and Tasco make a air riflre rated scopes , that are very good, the tasco comes in a hard plastic package, along with earmuffs, and glasses , for about 35 bucks. i bought one set, put it on a 10.22 , like the scope so much , bought another package deal.
I will go no lower than the above, for Tasco, a little bit better, get the Varmint series. I ve got two in 6.24..42 power, and they kick much !@$ss.
