A few weeks ago I ordered one of the inexpensive Simmons scopes for my Ruger 10/22.  It is one of the 3-9X .22 scopes for $39.  The scope I ordered is backordered.  Is this because Simmons was bought out by Meade Optics?  Is Meade Optics improving the quality of all their scopes (the Simmons website says they are changing the manufacuring site to one in Asia built and controlled by Meade).  Any thoughts on the quality of these lower end .22 scopes?

I don't think I was very clear on my original post.  I see many of the websites referring to the Simmons .22 mag scope as the "New" Simmons .22 mag scope.  Simmons' website claims their .22 mag scope has the new "True Zero Adjustment System," and the QTA (Quick Target Aquisition) eyepiece.  Are the .22 mag scopes new, i.e. have they been improved since Meade bought out Simmons, or are they basically the same scope with and extra helping of marketing hype.
