Between those two scopes, any real perfomance difference is exactly zilch.

Bushnell and Simmons are owned by the sme company. While not the exact same scopes, they are serviced at the same place. Made in the same plant most likely.

About the only functional differnce is the Ocualr focus, te Buehsnll 4x has the old style Lock ring in front of the yepeice and the Simmons has the Euro style finger adjustable at the back.

The 1" .22 mag Simmons scopes have a good rep for being a decent scope for a rimfire.

Frankly, if you want a better scope than that save up $58 and get one of theses HAWKE 3-9 AO scopes.They are an English brand of scopes made in the same places the Bushnell and Simmons are- (China).

Excellent optics and very nicley made. They are rated for High powered spring airguns, which tear most regular scopes apart. They are very highly thought of in Europe and have a solid import office here in the US. They back their scopes better than Bushnell does their low end scopes IMHO.
