My old 30-30 scope.

[Moparnut]

I have an older 30-30 with a 2-7x32 simmons scope. I was at the range this weekend and noticed that the scope was "fuzzy" looking through it. For the last couple of years I have noticed the scope fogs up. I think I need to replace it. Does anyone have any suggestions? Should I try to send it in for repair? Should I just replace it? If I do send it in for repair does anybody know what kind of warranty or customer service simmons has? Once again thank you for the help.

Trash it and get a new one. Get another 2-7x32mm. I use Nikon ProStaff or the new Redfield Revolution scopes. There are other better scopes, but for around $125 or so, these are pretty nice.

Leupold scopes have a lifetime warranty as well as the Redfields (owned by Leupold). That's the direction I would go in. Might be time to look at a Leupold fixed 2.5x scout scope. I really like mine.

Last time I had a Simmons I sold the rifle because it wouldn't hit a pie plate at 100 yds. Except then my next rifle wouldn't either. Realized it was the scope that wouldnt hold zero for crap. Last simmons ever. Nikon cost not too much more and is wonderful.

+1 on jogar80's comments. My friend has a Nikon on his 30-30 and I was amazed at how bright and clear the target was at 100 yards and up under some trees. Its on my wish list.

Might try another Simmons scope, no need for a super long distance one for a .30-30 though.

My 3 Simmons can shoot a whole lot better than minute of pie plate, mine are good out to 500 yards, the one on my .223 shoots MOA all day long! May be the shooter.

May be the shooter.

Um... no

Maybe you just got some better Simmons models... but mine was CRAP

Some Simmons were not bad as I bought a 2x7x44 "44Mag" model in the mid 1990's that is still in use on the Remington 700 I sold to one of my companies VP's.
He uses it every year problem free.
The newer ones are probably not as well made.
My old one was made in the Phillipine plant.

Simmons is low on the totem pole , have a look at Vortex is a lot of scope for the money.

The old Simmons scopes were better than what they make today. Redfield is USA made.
