Good evening and happy Friday all.
Two days ago, I was unpacking the car after a wonderful 5 days house/pet sitting for the in laws. Well, to put itmore accurately, the wife sat house and watched pet while I hung out in the range I've built for myself on their property. Anyways, I digress..
As I was unloading my Ruger 10/22, it slipped out of the bottom of the riddle bag, bounced of the bumper and landed on its sights. While they did not break off, they are pretty mangled. I went ahead and ordered a pair of Williams fire sights which I've been meaning to get for some time now any ways. They will be here in one long week.
Today I was at the wally world getting baby supplies and while checking out the ammo I noticed all the different scopes and decided to pick some thing cheap to mess around with at the range.
I picked up a Simmons 1x24mm Red Dot scope. I did a quick Google search while standing in the isle and didn't find much of anything. I decided I would give it a try and if I didn't like it, I'll send the wife to return it.
I mounted it to my rifle and some what zeroed it in and I have to say, it does not seem like the worst thing in the world. However, I have nothing to base it on as this is my first red dot. It has 5 dot sizes and 11 brightness settings. I spent a few minutes making adjustments and then fired a few shots from only 10 yards away and it seemed alright.
The scope, rings, battery and lens covers cost a staggering $50 so I'm not expecting the world from it. Anybody on the forum own a Simmons red dot? Should I expect this thing to crap out before I get it to the range tomorrow? I'll be sure to post a range report tomorrow after the range.
