What are Simmons 1.5-5X20's like?

[buttloaves]

I have two of these, possibly a breeding pair as I have several now and don't know where they're coming from!

They're a nice looking scope i like the finish, are they a good scope whats the field of view like?

On 1.5 mag - Flipping huge.

You can see your barrel through the scope, and it's in focus!

I have a picture somewhere...

FOV is fine. A great little scope.

Very pleased with mine I recently picked up.
I put it on my hw77 in .25

[jonnyovy]

In my opinion, one of the best airgun scopes available.

[Rapidnick]

Absolutely brilliant scopes. Excellent optics and really well made. If you are happy with plain duplex reticles then a great choice.
Even better in my view is the Nikon Pro Staff 2~7x32 which is available with different reticles in current manufacture.

dont know. mine was x50. german reticle. perfect hunting scope. never got above x3.

[peterd8877]

Excellent scopes with a good field of view.

[WILBA]

Excellent scopes thats why i bought 3 of them. Nothing will beat them for close focusing.

Simply put they're outstanding. They're extremely lightweight and small; the FOV is massive as has already been stated, the reticle simple and crystal clear and the finish is lovely (I love the textured coat on the scope). I have a Simmons 8 point 1.5-5x20 and a Nikko Stirling Diamond 1-4x24 in a bid to find a similar (or better) low mag scope and neither really come close. The 8 point is very decent for the money (£32 new when they were available on JSR) but the reticle is less precise, much more tunnel-y (FOV is much smaller) and the scope is much larger and clumsier with a stickier zoom ring and noticeably worse fit and finish (low light performance is also noticeably worse). The diamond is decent but it's massive by comparison and heavy - I really like the reticle and the illumination on the lowest setting is good but really I wish I had another WTC in many ways

I like them , I have four !

Nice simple compact scope that has served me well for a good few years .

[tinbum]

I love em and can't resist buying when I see them. I just sold two in sales, but every time I see the ad I think "Ooh, WTC's!" and click on it.

There's no point having more scopes than guns!

That's not fair! Can I have one!
I'd like another.

It's the rules.

One always has to have an imbalance of scopes and guns, which way is largely irrelevant, but it eases the conscience in justifying a nice self indulgent purchase now and again.

This is of course correct.
