Simmons Scope

[avent 0]

hello all new here

I have recently purchased a lakefield 64b semi auto .22 rimfire rifle with a parker hale and moderator and simmons 8 point 3-9*40 scope which is brand new

I was wondering does any one here use one of these scopes and how do you find them

I am new to rifle shooting

yea I think it was the mounts I was using . I got a new mount with with windage and elevation adjustments and it seems to be business

if your comfertable with it, it adjusts, you can get it clear & focused it will do the job. I have used 4x40 for everything from magpies on a airrifle to a 303 stalking rifle,without a mod with great success. Far too much snobbery on scopes ' i have this & that crew ' etc. If it is collecting fresh air around it, its cool. If its dust ............ its wasted !
