We are offering an opportunity for the members to test & review optics. This is a great way to get honest opinions of different items from the guys that are out there using the stuff. Plain and simple. Not some magazine writers view, Your view.
If you are interested in getting involved, great. Just PM me with your ship to info and we will get you in the rotation.

I am testing the scope because I would like to try one of these scopes before I think about buying one, and I am sure others would like an unbiased opinion. I am not brand loyal, and currently own scopes by Leupold, Burris, Docter, Pentax, Nikon and Sightron.

Curious here and to noone in particular.
Why are Bible Thumpers the first in line,for handouts?
Just curious............... 'Cause you don't offer to send me a 6x42 to try out... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> Doug, you could have Yukoner send it my way once he's done with it... SS

Doug, Glad to see you doing a test and review. It's a great way to put an eyeball on optics one wouldn't normally see. Nothing like actually using a product before posting a review... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> May wind up buying the Pentax 3x9x50mm. Was impressed w/ the 6x42 as a great low budget scope for under a 100 bones. I can see folks buying them for loaner guns, kids, in-laws,etc... Thanks again Doug, you're a class act...

Stick- I'd like to have you put it through a Paradise Program and give a detailed account of +/- features. YMMV! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Cheaha: Don't break it before I get it! LOL I'll be gingerly.... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> I mounted the 6x42 on a Ruger 44mag Carbine and ran off a couple hundred rounds. It fared well for such a short test. I'm really impressed w/ the clarity and resolution. Not everyone can afford or wants to spend mega bucks on a scope for a knock about gun. I can see the Pentax Gameseekers filling a niche quite nicely...

Can�t believe you�ve stooped to trolling. I thought you were above that. Also remember when you tried to run Doug off. How you miserably failed and how wrong you were!

I never tried to run Doug off,my stance was/is simplistic,in that I've better things to do than jump through hoops to establish a price.
That simply ain't my gig and I'm happy that you is a consumate Hoop Jumper.
Rock on..................

Have had enough Pentax,that the notion do not interest me................... Think of it as a public service to the 'fire! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> It'll get boolits from the muzzle to 100 yards I imagine, but many probably would like to know what the scope's limits are before reaching that point. Think on it maybe.

Larry has reached a new low with his pizzing all over a paying advertiser's thread. He now has no respect for RickBin,Doug @ Cameraland or anyone else on the Campfire. Sad that the bottle has reduced Larry to nothing more than a Troll... He is exhibiting the classic example of the alcoholic term "delusions of granduer". He speaks gibberish and bile yet he somehow considers it to be some profound statement. The Campfire sees you for what you are Larry, a little sad pathetic alcoholic Troll.....

Laffin'.
You and Casper The Friendly Ghost cruise websites for gear,peruse catalogs for same...and get giddy about the pricing in both,being Fictional.
I'm a simple creature,that prefers his info above board,less wrangling. At least some outfits toss a guy a simplistic "POR" outta the gate,so he isn't jerked.
Bloody Mary time,I've a long drive.........................

I don't "cruise" and "peruse" and Doug don't "jerk". Can't see how you'd know either of two. There your ass goes talking agian....
