Thanks for the info. I also have some Simmons scopes on some of my lower recoiling handguns and have broke them on harder recoiling guns. No problems getting them replaced. Still using them.
I believe the older Simmons were constructed better than newer versions. I have one T/C scope and have been happy with it. I have only used it on 22lr guns/barrels though.
