During daylight I couldn't tell a difference between the clarity of the Simmons, a cheap Tasco I've tried, or the Leupold.
Wow. That's not been my experience at all. Don't get me wrong, I know that the Rifleman isn't the scope the upper end Leupolds are, but it's head and shoulders above any Simmons or Tasco I've ever tried.
I absolutely despise Simmons. It seems like everyone I've ever tried, it took forever to find the picture when you pulled the gun up. Maybe the eye relief was off, I dunno.
I will say if I had to do it again, I would buy a Nikon 3x9x40 over the Rifleman.
And I want to try the Burris Fullfield II as well.
I don't doubt for a second that there are better $200 scopes out there than the Rifleman. I fell into the brand name trap. I admit it. I haven't had a problem with it though.
