Anyone know if Simmons scopes are airgun rated, and are they a decent overall scope??? Natchez has a few on sale that look like real good deals. TIA!!

I had one on my Air Hawk and it seemed to be okay.  Nice and clear and easy to manipulate (and light).  Mine is a 3 x 9 scope.

Thanx, do you know exactly what model it is, and how many shots do you have through it??? Here are a couple that I'm interested in:

I'll check and see.  It is only 3 x 9 though.

The only springer rated one I am aware of is the discontinued Air Pro line.

I have a Simmons 3X12-50mm IR that I put on a springer....and later found out that they were not airgun rated so I quickly switched it over to a PCP.  Don't know about those other models though.
