simmons aetec 2,8-10x44 phillipene

[samboy]

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.

Hi Martin1, thanks for this and a good, comprehensive read.

I think your suggestion for more scope reviews is an excellent point. My only thought is for a real scope comparison test -- ie lots of different scopes side-by-side with some kind of qualitative comparison point. I think Nick Jenkinson has done this a couple of times in the magazines and I love reading them. I have three different scopes as per my signature. Your post has fired me up to set aside some time, sometime, and do a little review of each and make a conclusion in comparison to price.

If you know anyone with a hawke sport scope try their lens caps they fit the old whitetail models not sure about your scope, hawke spares are easier to get hold of.
