Redux on Redux. I have a 15 to 45 X Simmons spotting scope. Its normal use
is for .22 RF at 50 yards, where it is set for around 25X. I mostly
practice at 50 yards, trying to shoot 1/4 inch groups. Occasionally, I will
slew the little Simmons over and see what the boys are doing at 100 yards.
No problem, at all, reading their 30 cal. holes. Cheap spotting scopes like
mine have plastic lenses, which are great with only a small reduction in
transmission. The more expensive ones have glass lenses - a little better,
but a whole lot more money. I shoot with a vari-power Leupold scope.
Glass, of course, marvelous optic; beautiful scope. I am considering
getting another scope; pretty sure it will be a Simmons, single power,
around 20X. It won't be quite as rugged as a Leupold but more than
sufficient for bench rest shooting. Think I'll save the Leupold for a
quality air rifle for back yard practice.

Take a hard look at these, before buying a Simmons.

Hey Don,

What does "redux" mean?? I know a "redoubt" is an outlying
fortification, but I've never seen the term redux.

"Revisited". The term may have come into more common usage with
John Updyke's novel "Rabbit Redux", which was a sequel to "Rabbit
Run".
