    Is the Simmons 1.5-5x20 springer rated?

    I've got one of these scopes left from four I had. I'd like to put it on a springer, but don't want to wreck my last of these scopes. Does anyone know for sure if they're springer-proof?

    I imagine not only springer rated, but filled with air from the mouth of Zeus himself, and will also make you irresistible, increase your wealth and fortune - such is the Magical Quality of the WTC !!
    Looking for TO-6 Trigger unit unmessed with or T0-6 kit for 34

    Hi Steve
    If it’s the WTC Simmons 1.5-5x20 then yes they are springer rated.
    I have one on my Hw99s, great scope..

    Thanks to PCPShooter and Les Allam - that's what I was hoping!
    I'm going to put it on a Webley Longbow I've had refinished and sorted out internally.

    I've used them on springers without issue.

    Thanks to all who've replied - I now feel happy to put it on the Longbow.

    Would echo this - my 2010’s model performed with aplomb mounted on a BSA Lightning XL Tactical, HW90K (with Dampa) and a Theoben Evolution. About to mount on my magnificent Imp Mk II!

    I agree have had them on all my springers including the cheap scope killing bsa lightnings , think they were originally designed for solid slugs from a 12g for boar shooting .
