I believe there is a point of diminishing returns on optics. You get what you pay for up to a point.
Your Simmons (or mine) will work and is fine for a 22. A $100-200 Nixon or Leupold as better optics and will hold up better in hard use. After around $400 to $500 I see no benefit for my purposes. So many brands and price points. Depends on what shooting and conditions. Until you have looked through and used a real quality scope it's hard to explain. There is a lot to perfect clarity.
