simmons aetec 2,8-10x44 phillipene

[MARTIN1]

I have two, one on my 10/22 and one on my AA S400.

The fellers spot on they are simply superb 10,000% better than the new ones that do not deserve the Aetec name.

Stop telling people how good they are else they will become more sort after and the second hand price will go up

I know,i was thinking that but the scope deserved the review.
hi mate, keep your eyes open as if i tell you where i got mine then i will have no chance in getting another.
remember the review is for the old phillipene model not the new.
people with the old will rarely sell on,expesialy for cheap so expect to pay in excess of the price of new for a new version or may be you get lucky like me.i put mine up for sale and then with drawed it as it was to good to let go for the price.
but as i said these are worth paying up to £150-200 as there simply stunning for that money "my opinion" other people or your self may have different opinions,so dont go and buy on just my review " i would sa try and have a look threw one and scope for that matter before you buy".for airgun use and close range on the magnification of mine,most scopes cant touch it and if they do its purely on brightness and clarity,nothing else and they are way more then double the price of these aetecs when they were new.
hope you enjoyed the review and all the best .

ps lovely knowing you got a scope better then scopes double the price

Hi All.
I have three aetecs, One 2-8-10x44 on my CZ Rimfire.
Two 3-8-12x44 on my Rapids. Excellent scopes, except one
of the illuminated reticles does not work. This is no big deal
but i would have it repaired if i knew where to send it.

I'm sure I've seen an advert in Gunmart for someone doing scope repairs, just a small ad in the firearms section I think.

you have,paul burke,live up by me.
may be a loose connection some where.
if you bought it new you should have limited life time warranty but be care full as they tend to replace the scope and you dont really want the new aetec.
i would say go to simmons as they will probly fix for free and paul burke will charge £50 pluss just for a service.
on there site theres a contact link,i contacted them as i wanted a sun shade,they got back to me quick but couldnt supply the sunshade.
does any one know any sunshades for other rifles that will fit?
weird thing is,is its 44mm but when i measure its around 54mm,got a 44mm off here other week and wouldnt fit.

Hi Martin

Thanks for the info, however when i contacted Simmons UK they cannot help me saying they dont keep any spares and dont know how to get them.

Pleasant enough on the phone but no suggestions how to obtain any spare caps.

And thats the agent for Simmons, Only interested in selling new gear.

My scope is model no 800865 if anybody can help i would be grateful.

The master series Aetec is made in China,and a world away from the original gloss Aetec.
I think they also had a matte option made in the Phillipines too.
Superb quality,and now very very collectable,especially gloss versions.
