Review on πŸ”­ Simmons 20-60X60 Venture Black FMC WP Tripod + Hard/Soft Case by John Swain

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good for an amateur. at least.

Please note that this review is for the 20-60X x80 Simmons Venture Tilt. Unfortunately, Simmons or SOMEBODY flooded this product's listing with so many fake reviews that it has become so unbelievable that Revain is only listing it for verified purchases. I got mine from the Sportsman warehouse where I compared it to Leupold, Swarovski, and Vortex scopes (from the inside to all sorts of stuff at the store). My eyes are in my 60s, I'm not a professional photographer or sniper, and this was indoors with controlled lighting. The only difference I saw was that the Vortex HD Raptor had more light in the frame. Since I couldn't tell the difference between a $159 scope and a $3,000 scope, I settled on the Simmons. Be aware that if you drop your Leupold or Swarovski, they will cover it. These guys don't cover it the way they do but then again we're talking about buying 10-20 of these for one of the other guys so let's go. I plan on animal spotting, moon spotting and taking pictures with my phone so it's good for those purposes and definitely better than the cheaper Chinese stuff I've been unfortunate to have bought on ebay in the past. I think they're using a better prism here, but as the sole factor, that's completely irrelevant. My advice: go to Sportsman's Warehouse, compare it to the more expensive ones and ask yourself if it's worth the difference in price. My only real complaint is that they made the large front scope cover COMPLETELY cheaper. It's hard to shoot (slippery little plastic grips) and doesn't stay on the scope so you lose it during the day. STUPID.

Pros
  • Soft carrying case protects scope and tripod for easy portability in the field
Cons
  • Expensive
