Default Pentax Gameseeker

I am looking at a Pentax Gameseeker for my Savage muzzleloader for deer hunting . Anyone have experience with this series of scopes? I am hoping it will give me better target acquisition without the "winking" I get from the 3x9 Simmons that came on the rifle.
Considering one of the following:
2.5x10x56
3.5x10x50
4x16x50
4x12x40

I'm not much of a Pentax fan. I guess they are o.k. Perhaps you may wish to check out Burris FF II, Bushnell 3200 or 4200 Elite's or even a Sightron. Just depends on your preference and price range.

Pentax andBurris products are similar i think Burris does work for Pentax, so how can you bea fan of theBurris FFand not Pentax. Anyways, Pentax Gameseeker is a good tool but, i think there are other better options.

Pentax is a great scope. Very clear and tough. It would be a good choice.

I have the 3.5X10X50, the optics are very clear (fully multicoated) which is hard to find for the price. The eye relief and the weight are not bad either. For the price it is hard to find better!!!!
