RE: Pentax?
If money really is an issue look at the Gameseeker series. I put one on my new '06 and it's GREAT. Very clear and appears to be good in low light. I haven't hunted with it yet. I got a 3-9x50 new for $99 shipped. I know it's at or near the bottom line of Pentax but I'd rather buy a low end Pentax than a mid-range Bushnell, Simmons or Tasco. Also, I stay away from used scopes. Unless you know the previous owner you may be buying someone elses problem.
