About Pentax 3-9x40 Rifle Scope
Lightseeker XL... Redesigned to combine legendary optics with revolutionary PentaBright technology, the latest Lightseeker-XL scopes deliver extreme brightness for the widest range of shooting needs.
Why do you hunt A library couldn't cover all the reasons, but it usually boils down to two: 1. to take an animal, and 2. to enjoy the outdoors. However, sometimes the conditions don't cooperate.
The trophy animal you have waited a lifetime to hunt only appears when the light is not the greatest, and the outdoors that you love is throwing its worst weather at you. At times like these, high quality, durable optics are a must.
That is where the Lightseeker-XL rifle scopes come in. The Lightseeker line of rifle scopes, long known for their extreme brightness, have been redesigned and improved so they fit an even wider range of shooting needs.
Due to customer demand, these scopes have been redesigned with the turrets centered on the main tube. They have maintained the legendary optical quality Pentax is known for precision ground lenses that use the Super-Multi-Layer coating process on every surface throughout the optical system.
They also use larger erector lenses than conventional rifle scope designs letting the Lightseeker-XL give a brighter image than the competition. The Lightseeker-XL rifle scopes incorporate European sytle, quick focus eyepieces and are also some of the toughest scopes around with exceptionally thick tube walls and extremely durable reticles.
With PENTAX you'll be up and out shooting earlier, and you'll stay out later - right up to the legal limits. Successful hunting means a bright scope for fast target acquisition, even in the toughest light conditions.
PENTAX's internal lenses are up to 40% larger than the competition. PentaBright means light - lots of light. Plus lightweight, one piece, aircraft aluminum construction and quick focus European style eyepieces make them tough and fast.
The Penta Plex Reticle has four heavy posts that are easily seen in any light. Fine crosshairs in center allow for perfect shot placement.
The complex science of optics requires attention to the type and quality of glass, design and construction, eye relief, tube alignment, sealing against moisture, and user comfort. No one knows optics better than Pentax. Pentax pioneered multi-layer lens coatings which greatly increase light transmission.
At Pentax they are hunters, and they know what you demand. Is quality important Just ask yourself how long you expect your scope to last. In optics, the only real bargain is quality, and no one does quality optics better than Pentax.
Pentax 3-9x40 Rifle Scope Features
- Leakproof "O" Rings:
All Pentax scopes are filled with nitrogen gas and double sealed with heavy-dutyneoprene "O" rings, providing a lifetime seal that makes your scope leakproof and fogproof. - Precision-Ground Lenses:
High density eyepiece lenses produce maximum resolution and depth of field. Longfocal length internal oculars provide a wide field of view and optimum eye relief. - Dual Bias Springs:
Two bias springs, secured in a spring tube to keep them from moving under recoil, to exert even counter-pressure for windage and elevation adjustments. - Precision-Machined Click Assemblies:
Positive and repeatable, our precision windage and elevation click adjustments are easy to set and stay put after you set them. - Solid Brass Zoom Tube:
All Pentax variable-power scopes feature a self-lubricating solid brass tube foroptimal function and long-term reliability. No plastic. No aluminum. - Exceptionally Thick Tube Walls:
Single-piece tubes, made from aircraft quality aluminum, have thicker walls thanmost scopes. They'll maintain their shape and resist crushing, even in spots that are traditionally weak. - 40% Larger Internal Ocular Lenses:
Special single-piece tube design allows for a 40% increase in the ocular lens size over conventional scopes, increasing light transmission and image brightness. - Extremely Tough Reticle:
Built and tested to withstand the heaviest recoil, Pentax reticles are three times stronger than the industry standard. - Super-Hard, Scratch-Resistant Finish:
Outer tube surfaces are hard-anodized to prevent wear and scratches. Pentax scopes still look good after years of hard use. - The Best Optical Coatings:
Seven-layer multi-coating on all optical surfaces. More light is transmitted to your eye, glare is reduced, and image contrast is enhanced.
