Where can i veiw to buy Pentax rifle scopes?

[Stanley13]

The camera land site is great.
I never would have guessed they sell rifle scopes!! I have formed the opinion that the Gameseeker line at under $150 must be what yall r thinking of with bad quality and optics. Cause the lightseeker line in a 50mm is over $600. Cant imagine getting away with charging $600 and ur scope being crap. Thinking my original diognosis from my buddies scope is correct and that they r badass!!!

Well shit Stan ....... absolutely any scope that cost $600. has gotta be great,right. Hey man .... I have a Jennings 25ACP that I will sell you for $750.

Try looking at it this way. Using your figure of $600. What other scopes can you get for that same $600. ?? Take a deep breath Stan.

If all else fails,as long as "they r badass !!!" that's all that really counts,right ?? --- SAWMAN

Sawman I'm gonna say this for a third time in this thread. I have a few $600 scope's and I'm not impressed or unimpressed. They r just all around ok. And u selling a Jennings for $750 or a bridge in Arizona for that matter is totally different than a reputable big business that actually has their name on the product. Last I look at Jennings it didn't say Made By Sawman in BFE Florida!!!! What I'm getting at is sell all your beater trash leupold's and get a real scope like a Pentax!! Booooom

Your "kinda" right Stan. However,I am somewhat concerned that if I sold all my other scopes for the Pentax brand,the VERY NEXT step in the downward progression would be the NcStar brand. Tell me ......do them Pentax scopes come incased in that hard plastic like some of the other "quality" scopes ?? ---------> OUCH !!

When you start selling some of them Leupolds for the Pentax brand,let me know. --- SAWMAN

Im gonna pull my Leupold VX2 3x9-50mm off the above picture 17 hmr once this Pentax gets here and i pulled a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9-50mm off my 30-06 a few nights ago. Plus traded a Leupold VX3 a few months back.Prolly put these over priced beaters on a air rifle or kids gun or something??? BOOOOOOM

OK scope came in yesterday morn> SO less than 4 days from purchase till at house. Thats bad ass. Scope seems solid, for sure not lite weight. Not sure when i will get to put it on because ill have to get new higher mounts because its taller than the Leupold currently on HMR. Really looking forward to hunting squirrel with it. Ill keep yall updated.

 

[SAWMAN]

Best of luck with that uhhhhhhhhh ....?.... scope Stan. Remember,when the glass fogs up and the reticle spins 30 degrees or so,you will have to put it up for sale over at PFF. We all know about it over here. ---> OUCH !!

I'll be watchin' --- SAWMAN

Hell scopes cost more than that at Wallie world. Not like a 17 has alot of recoil. Hope it works out for you Stanley. Hell I have got a RINO scope on a 222 that has been going for 46 years.. Real high dollar in 1969.$15

Edit,Try a set of Weaver high mounts and they might work,Or not they don't cost $100

 

[SAWMAN]

You know Stan,Cabela's sells a 17HMR specific scope for (IIRC) $99. I do believe that it has tic marks for the "normal" drops for ranges further out.

With the Cabela's guarantee(talk to them to make sure),if it self destructs(like that Pentax will)just send it back for a replacement or refund. ---SAWMAN

I don't get it...why buy a Pentax when you can get a Vortex for same or less.....

 

[FrankT]

"Clay" he got it for $99 on deep discount, I am sure it was like a Leupold.

Maybe Pentax has improved over the years. I went out and looked at several reviews on the light seeker and they were all positive - including one from a guy who had it mounted on a 7MM mag.

Here is one review worth looking at:

Not to say I will dump my Leupolds, Meoptas, Nikons or Zeiss for one - but maybe Stanley is on to something.
