At a shooting show back in the early/mid '90s (probably either Stoneleigh or Birmingham...) I stocked up with 6x Simmons Whitetail Classic Granite 3.5-10x40 and 2 of the x50. They are all very well used, a couple (accidentally) abused and all still very much as functional and consistent as the day I got them. Most have been fitted to Webley Omegas & Eclipses. One spent a couple of years on 'extended' loan ('till I remembers he had it and asked for it back) on a friend's Patriot springer. I think all have the Webley-specific Sportsmatch mounts (with the cross-pin). Seem fairly bullet-proof to me.
