Pentax 3-9x40 Pioneer II Riflescope (Matte Black)

Pentax is a world leader in the development, design, and distribution of superb optical systems. Their riflescopes feature waterproof construction, precision-ground lenses, scratch resistant finishes, and fine precision adjustments. They are designed, built and engineered from the ground up from advice, suggestions, and recommendations from dedicated hunters and shooters.

The Pentax Pioneer II 3-9x40 presents both value and performance to the novice as well as the experienced hunter. The popular 3-9x magnification offers a wide field of view and an excellent zoom range for your open field sighting. Its one piece construction is water and fogproof, durable and rugged. Pentax's superior optical designs and multi-coated lens surfaces deliver a sharp image - even under difficult lighting scenarios.

This fine optic is fitted with a Penta-Plex reticle - a standard 4 post and cross hair configuration for ease of sighting, fast target acquisition, and accurate shot placement.

A mounting base and rings are used to attach a riflescope to a firearm. A comfortable sight picture is contingent upon the height of the rings. A comfortable cheek-weld is the result of properly positioning the scope over the receiver. Mounting the scope close to the receiver is preferable, yet scopes with larger objectives need higher rings so the front bell can clear the barrel. It should be noted that in many mounting applications, a professional gunsmith's skills will be needed for proper installation.
