those aetecs were great scopes, even the old 44mags were. Simmons had some good stuff back in the day. One of my favorite scopes I have is an old Whitetail Expedition, that was their top of the line.
I agree killerv. I was looking at an older Simmons today. The parallax adjusted down to 10 yards. It was a 6.5-20x44. It looked pretty nice, but had a nick in the ocular lens. I would have bought it, and threw it on one of my rimfires, if it did not have the nick in the glass!!!!
