Scope: Simmons 4.5x14 Power 40mm AO Filipino Exc

We do not mean any disrespect to our worthy adversaries in China, but their products have definitely reached a marketing saturation point, and the prices are falling accordingly. On trade ins, we never allow more than $25 for a Chinese Riflescope, and it has to be something outstanding to fetch that. Scopes made in the Philippines, Korea, and especially Japan are a very different story. Filipinos and Koreans now have decades of technical expertise and actual manufacturing practice for producing excellent quality optics, and this is a specimen of the formers’ handicraft. This is a Simmons model ATV4514 Variable Power riflescope with Adjustable Objective front lens. It is in Excellent condition with only minor gun case contact wear on its eyepiece bell and on the objective lens adjustment ring. It is lightly marked on its tube from the aluminum weaver type rings it came with. We consider it to be Excellent finishwise, with at least 90 percent of its original finish remaining. Both lenses have their full coating intact, and the scope is excellent mechanically. It came to us mounted on a .204 rifle, so it has not undergone any recoil. This scope appears to be very similar to Simmons’s AETEC scopes, 4.5 x 14 Variable with 44mm Adjustable Objective front lens. Replacement price on this scope in our area is well over $200; but we’re offering this one for only $ 79.95
