The Simmons Aetec 4-14x44 is a variable-power hunting scope built for shooters who want clean, edge-to-edge glass without paying premium money for it. The 4-14x magnification range covers everything from close timber stands to open-country shots, and the 44mm objective pulls in enough light to keep the picture bright at dawn and dusk. It rides on a standard 1-inch tube, so it pairs with the most common rings in our optics lineup. The capped turrets and non-illuminated Truplex reticle keep things simple for hunters who set zero once and leave it. This is a working scope for a deer rifle, not a competition optic.
Optically, the Aetec uses aspherical lens technology with fully multi-coated glass to flatten distortion across the field and hold contrast edge to edge. Field of view runs 29.3 feet at 4x and 8.2 feet at 14x at 100 yards, with a generous 3.5 inches of eye relief that keeps the ocular off your brow under recoil. Exit pupil measures 15.4mm at low power and 4.5mm at full magnification. The capped windage and elevation turrets adjust in 0.25 MOA clicks at 100 yards with 40 MOA of travel from center, enough room to dial most cartridges to zero. The whole unit weighs roughly 16 ounces and carries a matte black finish that is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. A sunshade is included.
This is a scope for the hunter who wants reliable magnification and bright glass on a bolt gun or a hunting AR. Mount it on a deer rifle, a hog gun, or a varmint setup and the 4-14x range handles field shots out to several hundred yards. The capped turrets shrug off brush and pack straps without losing zero, which matters more than most marketing copy admits. Round out the build with a set of 1-inch rings, flip-up covers from our scope cover selection, and a cleaning cloth, then point it at whatever you carry out of our rifle inventory.
The Aetec uses a standard 1-inch main tube, so it fits the most common 1-inch scope rings. Choose a ring height that clears the 44mm objective bell over your barrel and rail. Medium to high rings usually work depending on your rifle and base setup.
No. This model (5A41444) has a non-illuminated Truplex reticle and capped windage and elevation turrets that adjust in 0.25 MOA clicks. The capped design protects your zero from accidental movement, which suits hunters who set their zero and leave it alone.
Yes. Per manufacturer specifications, the Aetec is waterproof, fogproof, and shockproof. The sealed and nitrogen-purged construction keeps moisture out and prevents internal fogging across temperature swings, which makes it suitable for hunting in wet and cold conditions.
The Aetec provides 40 MOA of adjustment from center in both windage and elevation, with each click moving point of impact 0.25 MOA at 100 yards. That range is enough to zero most common hunting cartridges with proper base and ring selection.
Yes, a sunshade is included with this Aetec model. It threads onto the objective bell to cut glare and reduce stray light entering the lens when shooting toward a low sun, which helps preserve contrast in the sight picture.
