Great for target shooting,

This review is from: Simmons .44 Mag Side Focus Riflescope (6-21X44, Matte) with Truplex Target Turrets (Sports)
I've got two of these, and just ordered a third. It's a great scope for .22 target shooting, with AO and enough power to see your hits out to 100 yds without needing a spotting scope. The side focus is very convenient. This was the lightest and shortest scope I could find in this power, aperture, and price range, and I'm very happy with the two I have. The image is bright and sharp, and the Truplex reticle is sharp and fine at the center. Elevation and windage adjustments work well, although I don't think they are calibrated as advertised (1/4 and 1/8 at 100yds.)- probably a bit more. Both my scopes hold zero very well.
I also have a Mueller APV, which has gotten lots of great reviews, but it only goes up to 14x, has the focus on the objective, which is more difficult to use, no turrets, and has shorter eye relief. I like this one better. Just make sure your length of pull and rail or dovetail allows for placement a little farther out to accomodate the longer eye relief...Read more

Best Scope for the Money,

I have bought 5 of these scopes that should tell you how I rate this scope. It is one of the brightest scopes I have. The price through amazon is the least expensive I have been able to find. Personally I like the model without the target turrets but that is just my preference. If I need any more scopes this will be my first choice. After bore sighting, I have had no problems zeroing these scopes in with 4 rounds at 25, (getting on the paper) three at 50 and 3 at 100 yards
