Re: Pentax Lightseeker Scope
I've a Lightseeker that I've had for years, guess about 20. I recently put it on my Rem 700 because the cross hair is much finer than that of my Zeiss. Made a world of difference in my accuracy, but I knew that was going to happen. The only problem, it's just a duplex reticle, but I know how to use the differences in the stadia for ranging.
It's a very sturdy scope and the glass quality is very good. And it does pull in a lot of light. Great piece of glass for dawn/dusk hunting or shooting.

Re: Pentax Lightseeker Scope
I dont believe the lightseeker I'm looking at is current production. I'm not familiar with the line so I'm not really sure how old it may be. Claims to be 6-24 x 50. Have they always been associated with Burris or were the older ones something all together different?

I'd put my Lightseeker up against my new Zeiss.
Yep, I've had mine for about 20 years.

Re: Pentax Lightseeker Scope
I did a few tests with a Lightseeker a few years back and it was a great scope. Tracked fine and nice glass. I would have liked better turrets but aside that I had no complaints. Shoot it and enjoy. Hey you already owe it so see how it works for you.

Re: Pentax Lightseeker Scope
My Lightseeker arrived today. First appearances look great. My upper from WOA has not arrived yet, so I have nothing to mount it on just yet. I took it out in the yard and looked through it though. This thing is crystal clear and plenty bright enough. My longest line of sight with something to focus on was 215 yards and I could easily read a license plate with it on 20x. As long as it adjusts well and holds zero I think I may have hit the jack pot on this think for the price.
