The superb construction of their scopes is built inside a waterproof housing, machined from a single tube of aircraft quality aluminum. A Pentax scope is rugged, durable and ready to deal with the most demanding outdoor conditions. They are designed, built and engineered from the ground up from advice, suggestions, and recommendations from actual hunters and shooters. Owning a Pentax riflescope means you've invested in a high performance, state of the art optic that is sure to enhance your outdoor experience.

The Pentax 3-9x40 Lightseeker XL riflescope combines legendary Lightseeker technology with larger internal erector lenses to produce the brightest possible image from dawn until dusk. Hunters who hit the trails early and stay out late will surely appreciate the light gathering abilities of this design. Adding to the efficient nature of this design is a robust 40mm objective lens, which provides a sleek profile while retaining excellent light gathering abilities. The rugged 1" center tube design keeps the profile low to your action for quick handling and excellent maneuverability. Another advantage of this riflescope is the European style quick focus eyepiece, which delivers speed and accuracy to the cornucopia of features found in the Lightseeker XL. The 3-9x magnification was designed for a wide range of hunting techniques, and is at home in the brush as well as the open field. Positive sight acquisition is a breeze thanks to the Penta-Plex reticle with four heavy posts and fine cross hairs to ensure positive shot placement. If you're looking for a scope that is fast, accurate, bright and durable you've found it in the Pentax 3-9x40 Lightseeker XL.

To use a riflescope with your firearm, you'll need a mounting base and mounting rings in addition to the scope itself. Bases attach to your firearm and rings attach to your scope. By affixing the scope mounted rings to the rifle mounted base you create a reliable, accurate, and secure sighting system. Proper spacing of the rings, as well as the ring height should be considered to ensure a proper line of sight can be established. This will maximize the value of your investment, and enhance your shooting experience.

Solid Brass Zoom Tube
All Pentax variable power scopes feature a self-lubricating solid brass tube. This ensures smooth zooming, and longer term reliability.
Super-Hard, Scratch-Resistant Finish
The outer tube surface is hard-anodized to prevent wear and scratches. Even after years of rough service, your scope will maintain its appearance.
Precision-Machined Click Assemblies
Positive and repeatable, 1/4 MOA precision windage and elevation click adjustments are easy to set and stay put after you set them.
Extremely Tough Penta-Plex Reticle
Built and tested to withstand heavy recoil, this reticle is three times stronger than the industry standard. Four heavy non-tapered posts with fine crosshairs provide quick and positive sight acquisition.
Waterproof, Fogproof and Nitrogen Purged
Nitrogen purging removes all the air from the main-tube and the optical stack. This ensures a clear line of sight, even in rapidly changing weather with fluctuating temperatures.
Precision Ground Multicoated Lenses
High density eyepiece lenses produce maximum resolution and depth of field. Long focal length internal oculars provide a wide field of view and optimum eye relief. Seven layers of multi-coating provides extreme levels of flare reduction and contrast enhancement.
