I got one of these last week at Gander Mountain. $50.00, less a $12.50 mail-in rebate. I took it to my indoor range to check it out and to do some initial zeroing (max 25 yard at the range).
After re-tightening the mounting rings (couldn't figure out why my shots were all over the place) it seemed to do just fine. I will make it to an outdoor range next week, and try to zero it for good groups at 50 yards.
BTW, I have it mounted on a Marlin Model 795 .22 semi-auto.
Would that Simmons scope be the .22 Mag model by any chance?
