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'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.
