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.
