I agree. I don't believe the newer China made Simmons are in the same league as older Phillipines made scopes, let alone Japanese models.
I believe the Simmons Whitetail classic 6.5-20x50 is still made in the Phillipines.
I guess Bushnell was smart enough to at least keep one Phillipines made Simmons.
