check out swfa.com, they have the simmons 6-24's for $100.

You scope people my be able to read minds "or other forums" ! Chris over at shooters.com just said the vary same thing !<BR>For the money it seems to be a grate little scope ! I think after I save some money I may put another weaver grand slam on the handi-rifle , and move the 44mag over to my .22lr .<P><BR>Regards: Treerat<P><BR> <BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Arial">quote:</font><HR><font face="Arial" size="2">Originally posted by 458 Lott:<BR><B>check out swfa.com, they have the simmons 6-24's for $100. </B></font><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P>

I dont have that particular model, but IMHO, Simmons makes a very good scope for the money.<P>------------------<BR> <A HREF="http://TheSouthernOutdoorsman.com" TARGET=_blank>TheSouthernOutdoorsman.com</A>

Howdy. Just went through this exercise with my local gunsmith/dealer, and he highly recommended a Swift. $109. Waterproof, shockproof, multicoated lenses, lifetime warranty with over-the-counter straight exchange at the dealer if you have any problems. He held it up to a light and metered it, and it transmitted more light than a Leupold Vari-X II (Don't start yelling at me! I understand the depth of loyalty that scope commands with a lot of people here!)<P>I'm no expert - that's what I rely on him to be - but it seemed like a pretty good deal to me. <P>However, if someone here has had bad experiences with the Swift, I'd really appreciate hearing about it. <P>Greggun
