Rifle Scopes Anyone else use Pentax lightseeker Scopes?

I have been shooting these for about 10 years on various sporting rifles and have always felt they were undiscovered gems.

Anyone else like them?

I recently sold a 3-11x44 Lightseeker. I still have a 2-7x40 on 1 rifle. Splendid hunting scopes.

I've got a 6-24 that I bought a long time ago. It's fantastic considering it's age.
I ran across some in the bargain cave of a Cabelas back around 2002. They were priced at $250. Shoulda bought the lot of them.

They were built and serviced by Burris.

Have a fixed 6x on a 22mag and I have zero complaints.

I have a 6-24 x 50 on my 700 - 308. They have great glass for the price.

Pentax has always made great stuff that somehow goes under appreciated, at least in the US. I remember their medium format film cameras.…

I would like to try their 80mm spotting scope with their fancy eyepieces. I read the eyepieces (except the cheaper zoom) are absolutely gobsmacking. But, the sexy Vortex Razor 85mm spotter seduced me.

The older stuff is good, the newer Chinese mfgerd stuff not so much.
