The BEST scope I ever had was a off brand called MICRO-DOT.
It was a US made tube, Japanese electronics, and Sweedish installed but Japanese made optics (no joke), in a 4-12X 44mmAO
and had a single red dot at the intersection of the cross hairs. Always held zero on my 7x64, then moved it to my combination gun (12ga/.222) for winter fox.
But as normal, had to sell it with a rifle for the cash, boy-oh-boy do I miss that scope
My best now is Nikon Monarch, Leupold VXII, Burris and Elite 3200.
I also learned my lesson(s) with Simmons & Tasco
