Maybe something to consider unless you intend to be messing with the magnification all the time.
The Simmons has a quick twist focus which is great for my older eyes.
Your needs may be different.
The advantages of a scope are no batteries needed and you can see the target clearly.
Have fun with which ever way you decide to go.

Just what i was looking to hear. I understand most of the specs but i've yet to use a scope so i don't know how everything applies.
