Description
This Simmons Aetec rifle scope is a variable power optic designed for a variety of hunting and target applications, featuring a magnification range of 2.8-10x and a 44mm objective lens. The unit measures approximately 12 inches in overall length and is finished in a non-reflective matte black. It is equipped with a traditional duplex-style reticle. Technical features include a knurled power adjustment ring with numerical increments from 4 to 10 and capped windage and elevation turrets with coin-style adjustment slots. Key markings include the stylized AETEC logo within an ornate border on the objective bell and the SIMMONS brand name in gold-colored lettering on the central turret housing. The power adjustment ring is marked with the specific model parameters 2.8-10X44. No mounting rings or additional accessories are included with this lot.
Condition report:
The scope shows signs of moderate field use, with visible surface scuffs and minor scratches across the main tube, objective bell, and ocular housing. The matte black finish remains largely intact despite the superficial wear. The glass appears clear with some accumulated dust on the external lens surfaces, and the duplex reticle is sharp and well-defined. The power adjustment ring and turret adjustments appear to rotate as intended, though the tracking has not been mechanically tested. Both turret caps are present.
