Pentax Gameseeker 3-9x50
I have been getting loads of PM's from members that they think it is great to give the membership the chance to check out different optics and get involved with doing tests and writing reviews.
With that in mind I thought I would add a Pentax Gameseeker 3-9x50 into the system. Who would like to test & review this scope? All we ask is that when you receive the scope you test it out, post a review here in this thread, and then ship it to the next person in line to do the same. When you are done testing it just contact me and I will give you the ship to info for the next reviewer.
OK, send me PM's and I will get the rotation set up and ship a scope out today to the first PM.
Again, I want to thank all of you in advance for getting involved.
Happy Holidays.

I would, but I don't have the time right now ... I'm barely getting any hunting/shooting in at the moment, and things aren't really looking like they're going to open up anytime soon ...
I'm sure someone around here could use a free loaner scope for a while though ...

we could see how well it holds up to 53grain X bullets from a 223AI. Does that constitute a field test? <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

speaking of that ... I'd love to see how the Zeiss Classic 10x40's hold up to that same "treatment" ... seeing as how they seem to be the "holy grail" of binocs ...

BTW,
I agree with your assessment of of Pentax probably being more than adequate for the majority of hunting situations,
so nothing personal, OK?

James,
You're the man. I will get one right out to you. Please post your thoughts and let me know when you are ready to send it on to the next tester.
Again, thanks for getting involved.

No problem. I try to keep an open mind about optics. The Pentax 6x42 was a solid scope for under 100 bones...

I would have to think that for under 100 bones it would be a real solid scope.
Sorry if the thread got temporarily hijacked.

The smiley face in your post was not necessary for me to see the humor ... my post should have had a smiley as well, just to make it evident to all that my intent was "humor" as well ... show me a binoc that can take a 53g TSX from a .223AI head-on, and remain unscathed, and I'll be first in line to buy that product ... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />

If you want it tested in extreme cold, I can handle that for you. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Curious here and to noone in particular.
Why are Bible Thumpers the first in line,for handouts?
Just curious...............

When "free" enters the vocabulary.
Am curious to know the number of participants who buy their goods,that are in the ranks of the handout.
Correlate,please?!?.................
