I really liked mine it was very clear-I showed it to a person at range and he asked why crosshair was sideways-steped up and bought Zeiss z600.




Your scope was canted............... :chuckle:
I couldn't care less about what anybody says..............

3-10 x 40 mm with a 30 mm or 1.2" tube.

I have a Burris LRS 3.5-10 scope with a 30mm tube on my AR that I use for coyote hunting.  It has an illuminated dot in the crosshair, and I never gave illumination a thought until I went coyote hunting at night.  I couldn't see the crosshair in the dark, but I could see the red dot!  I have scopes with more than 10x power, but I have found 10x to be plenty... :tup:
The best feature, in my mind, is that the illumination turns itself off after 1 hour.  Perfect for absent-minded SOB's like me!
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.

I've heard of this happening to other scopes as well, so It's not exclusive to Pentax.  Usually happens to scopes mounted on .30-06's and other "Big Boomers"!  :chuckle:

I'm hoping this cross hair problem has been worked out.  Like I said this scope gets rave reviews where the older model does not get such good reviews.  I guess we will find out soon enough...  :chuckle:

From what I read on a post on rokslide, Pentax has gotten out of the scope market and these are the close outs, supposedly Pentax had a hefty supply in a warehouse for warranty issues

 :yeah:  I think the reason some companies are dropping out of the scope market isn't because their product is bad, it's 1;  The market is clogged with scope companies, and more pop up all the time, and 2;  The economy is in worsening shape as time goes by.  I predict that in a year's time, you will see a lot of stuff for sale REAL CHEAP!  :twocents:
