Are Simmons upper end scopes crap?

They're owned by Mead intruments. How do they compare with Bushnell elites? Or Weaver grand Slams? Are they garbage?Thinking of putting a Aztec 4.5x14.5x44 on my AR-15?

I have had some luck with them on low recoiling rifles. I have one on a 22-250 and it holds a zero. I would not consider putting one on anything with much of a thump. Optical clarity is lacking however. Additionally, I have done "box drills" with it and it moves as expected.

I bought the aetec and put one on my 30-06, it's good to about two hundred yards. After that though I get a lot of distortion. So I only use it for river hunting.

I've got 3 of em,one on my 30-06 and one on my 10/22 and one on my .50 Cal Encore M/L.My brother has 2 of them,one on a 300RUM and one on a 375RUM,yup,a 375.And they're all doing great.

Ironworker ,

How good a scope do you want on your ar ? I have always been a of the mindset that says buy the best you can afford . You will not be dissapointed so easily that way .H
What do they cost ? I would recommend the nikon buckmaster line as I have purchase 3 of them for different family members as gifts . They have a parallax adjustment ( a necessity imo ) and track perzact !

I reckon it boils down to how serious you are about what youre trying to do .
