moxy 617 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 The ret on my simmons WTC broke not so long back. This scope however, comes with a limited lifetime warranty. Which Bushnell are honouring. The likelyhood is that a replacement Bushnell scope will be offered as opposed to a repair. I have had very little to do with Bushnell optics so what are they like? I would hope the replacement scope is of a similar spec and to the value of what I paid back in the day for the WTC. 3.5-10x50 and around the £250ish mark. Any recommendations or suggestions?

walshie 2,804 Posted January 15, 2014 Report Share Posted January 15, 2014 I've got a Bushnell Trophy XLT 3-12x56 on my .223. Excellent scope.Also got a Trophy XLT 4-12x40 on my rimfire. If you keep to the XLT or better models you won't go far wrong IMO. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Deker 3,450 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I can't remember the WTC 3.5-10x50 ever being £250, perhaps I just missed it, they were £200-£210 for years from what I recall. Very good scope just the same! Anyway, I have a 5-15 Legend on my .22lr Semi, I'm happy enough with that. A couple of years back I invested in a 6-24x50 Elite Mil dot and was not impressed at all, perhaps I got a bad one but the optics were nothing impressive and I was around 3feet (about 1m) short on elevation for my .243 at 600 yards. It went back for a refund! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 13 years ago £240. For some strange reason I still have the receipt!! But it was from a local outfit and I know they are not the cheapest. The legend seems to be the recommended scope. So we will have a run with that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Deker 3,450 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Actually, it goes through my mind the 3.5-10-50 WTC is back in production in the Philippines. Let me be clear here, I do not know if this is the original spec or the copy Chinese WTC, and now they simply make it in Philippines. This has cropped up before, but I can supply NEW Philippines WTC 3.5-10x50 for around £150-155. Only problem is I need a minimum of 10 orders to get this deal from the supplier! Talk amongst yourselves! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
toby63 1,236 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 they are 150 now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
moxy 617 Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Thanks Decker. But..!! The philipenes models are on the net at £110 Who's manufacturing them? I was under the impression that simmons went tits up years ago when they were bought out by AGS. Logun and I think webley met the same end. Bushnell now own simmons. If you find the US simmons site and ring them your directed to Bushnell. Thanks again. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
