Simmons .22 Mag 4X32
Posted: Wed Dec 30, 2015 1:35 pm
I got a gift card that just covered it, and Simmons has a $30 rebate offer through January 6. Plus, most shooting forum writers seem to think it is the best low cost scope available. Big upgrade from the $15 3-7X20 Tasco I had on my 10/22 DSP.
I chose the 4X32 in black matte. Ditched the supplied tip-off rings, but still went cheap with Simmons' Weaver type medium rings on the Ruger mount. Scope clears barrel by about 1/4 inch.
Typical, I had one filler screw slot disintegrate, but I managed to drill it out and chase the hole with another screw. Somehow now the hole is a bit more snug than the others, but that's okay. I doubt I'll ever take the mount off again.
I've done initial sight-in with a Tasco Scope Mate. It's a plastic gizmo I gave $8 for a few years ago. It actually gets you within a few clicks of dead on.
Once I get the rebate, I'll have about $31 invested in the scope. Now bad for what seems to be a decent one. Not I just have to see how long I have to wait to fine tune it.
