Simmons 1.5-5x32 8 point ...

Mmmmm.......

Slight amendment to my last post....

Had a bit of a plink down the hallway the other evening. A little dim, but I thought winding the mag down to 2x would make it nice and bright.

It wasn't!

Still had an enjoyable little session, just thought it would be better. So now, not so sure about the "dimly lit barn" ratting scenario.

Not knocking it, as I still think it's excellent value.

- they're a good little scope for the price, had one for 10 years now & it's been on a lot of springers so recoil proof, it ain't a whitetail as far as light gathering goes but a good close range plinking/ratting scope. btw do you have low energy bulb in your hallway? mine is fine indoors under halogen spotlights but poor under low energy flouro bulbs(my whitetails are ok with this light , they have better coated lenses.

Indeed, yes, my wife went mad with the low energy stuff!!

Must admit, outdoors, the little scope is terrific and I think it represents excellent value.

Now, down that hallway, if I want to shoot clinical, tiny groups, I usually point another light source at the target. The night I plinked with the little 30 with the Simmons, I didn't do this....it was just a very quick "grab-it-while-you-can" plink.
