I am looking for a .22 mag or a youth single shot .243. This scope will go on which ever one I find first. Figured I can't go wrong for the price. It gets great reviews and the cheapest price I could find with a quick internet search was $170.

I think that's the same scope as the Burris Fullfield, which I do have, and it's a great scope for the money. The only issue is you can't use scope covers on it because entire eyepiece rotates when you change the power.
:yeah: But then, I only put scope covers on the front lens, because that's the one that is pointed up when I carry it on a gun sling. But that's just my :twocents: Some scopes I don't put covers on at all, and on the ones with covers, most of the time they are just to hold the ARD device in place...

The one I bought has the 30mm tube not the 1". The 1" gets pretty poor reviews but eh 30mm tube or newer one gets 4.5+ out of 5 on every review I found. I hope it is works out. Can't imagine it wont' for $113. :tup:
What power is it ?

I think the Burris Fullfield is the same scope as the Pentax Pioneer from what I found out. Not made by Burris, but as nice as a Burris Fullfield. I have both. The Gameseeker is the lower quality of the Pentax scopes.
Okay, you're right, I knew one of the Pentax scope was the same as the Burris Fullfield. I guess if the Gameseeker is of lesser quality, I wouldn't want to use it on any serious hunting rifle. But if it's just for a plinker then it should be fine.

3-10 x 40 mm with a 30 mm or 1.2" tube.
My last 2 scopes were 30 mm. I can't really see that much difference between the 30 mm and the 1" scopes. And, they make inserts if you want to put a 1" scope in 30 mm rings. :twocents:

Returned it for warranty to Pentax and they sent me a new one, no issues since. I like the scope, it's seems to be better quality than what I paid for.

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 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!

My crosshair also went sideways,but it waited till i went to range second time.
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:

Don't believe everything on the internet. My scopes works perfectly.
: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:
