Bought a Knight in-line with a Simmons 1X1.5, shotgun scope attached.

Any experience with Simmons scopes on either BP or center fire rifles? Am heading for OK in a week or so for whitetail and am considering changing for a Zeiss 3X9 I have on the shelf.

I use an Aetec on a 7MM Ultra-Mag, and a 2X pistol scope on my .308 Encore pistol. So far, no problems with either. However, considering the quality of the Zeiss you already have, this is a no brainer. Why drive a Ford when you own a Rolls?
Just my opinion.
Good Luck

thx, Jay. danger i face is over-thinking a problem, or creating one where it doesn't exist. for example, the apparent scope dilema...since the gun wearing the Simmons shot OK, and leaving in a few days for whitetail seemed to tell me to stay with what's workin'.

however, yesterday replaced the Simmons with the Zeiss and my conjured-up worries are behind me.

in a few days its off to SD for pheasant and then to OK for whitetail. so far i haven't conjured up any ghosts or goblins to deal with between now and then.

Simmons is OK for the average front loader, but I wouldn't have one on a real gun.

DBoone, I was refering to the recoil. The Simmons I have on my ML was a replacement for one that died after 4 rounds on my Mossberg 835 Ultra mag using 3 1/2 mag loads. I now have a Leopold on the shot gun and all is well.

Check this site out. It may answer a few questions. http://www.charm.net/~kmarsh/scope.html

gamecock,

Is that a 1x32 Simmons? I am looking for a 1x scope for my muzzleloader. If you are interested in selling it, send me an email at liveoak@mail.com

Thanks.

Mark
