Just picked up a brand new pentax pioneer on ebay for 229.00. It is a 4.5-14x42 andcomes with the no fault lifetime warranty. The optics are twice as claear as my VX-II. Time will tell how it holds up, but if anyone's looking for the most bang for their buck, check one out. I guess it's exactly the same as the Burris fullfield II. Pentax makes the glass and burris makes the scopes. I was wondering if anyone here has a pioneer and how it has treated them? Thanks for any info.

i've got a Pentax Light Seeker and love it. clearer than any scope i have ever looked through and so far it has performed flawlessly
