    I'm looking for a budget rifle scope for a Stevens .270 for deer hunting out to 300 yards.  I'm considering buying a 2.8x10x44 Simmons Aetec.  I can buy a brand new one for $79.  How are the newer Aetecs or would you recommend another scope in my price range?  Thanks, Gary.

I'd rather recommend another price range for your scope than scope for your price range, but I understant how that can be so I would look real strong at the Bushnell Trophy line of scopes and the Sightron S1 scopes and if you can extend your price range up more the Bushnell 3200 scopes.

That is a good price for the Aetec, though they haven't been received with open arms lately, I wouldn't be affraid to try it.  If it doesn't work out you can always upgrade to something better.

I would by all means choice a Bushnell over the simmons any day.  For $20 more you getting a better name, IMO, and better quality scope.
