I totally agree with you. From 1980 to 1999, i installed a lot of simmons scopes on friends & family rifles. Everyone was either the "white-tail classic" or the "atec" models. They were all price close to the $200 price bracket. They all had 1/4 minute positive click adjustments that proved accurate movement on the paper @ 100 yards. If you moved 4 clicks, the tape measure proved the impact point had moved 1 inch. The only other brand of scope i saw that did that was "burris".

They are were installed using burris / leupold two-piece bases & low mount rings. The rings were also aligned & lapped with a sinclair lapping bar.

Everyone of those scopes held zero adjustments on calibers as large as .300 mags & not one jumped-zero after being dialed in. They never fogged nor water-logged during the wet louisiana hunting season.

Yes, the filipino simmons line was top-notch for the $$$$$ spent.
