pentax scopes

[mazama]

Bought a pentax 4-12 for 69$ CHINESE made nice clear optics with balistics plex,but i have trouble with the idea of hunting with a scope at that price,been 40 yrs since i bought one that cheap,so throw the comments.

The Pentax Pioneer is the same scope as the Burris Fullfield.  The Pentax Gameseeker is their bottom end scope....but I put one on a 7mm mag about 5 years ago and it held up just fine.  I think for the dollar these are the best low end scope you can get.  I run mostly Leupolds now but wouldn't hesitate to use one of these again.

I have a Pentax LightSeeker that's 20 years old that has never let me down at it's on a .300 Weatherby. I can say, just like the comment before, great scope in the low-mid range. They use their own optics and Burris tubes. I have a fixed 4x and a 1.5x4 handgun scope on a .460 S&W mag. No problems.

Pentax lightseeker was THE most under rated scope made ten years ago.

I think they are $60 on Amazon.  I've thought about it as well.

I bought it because i like ballistics plex reticles,it is as clear as my leopold scopes.
