Producr Review: Pentax Game Seeker HS20 - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

mrboyle · 02-12-2011, 05:08 PM

Had a gift certificate for Sportsman's Warehouse and decided to pick up a new red dot for my Neos. The only thing they had that was close to what I was after was the Game Seeker, so I grabbed one.

Mounted it up and took it out today for a test run. At first I couldn't see the dot at all. Thinking the battery was dead, I put the spare 2023 I have for my other red dot in. The dot now registered but even when turned to full bright I could barely make it out with polarizing sunglasses on (couldn't see it at all w/o glasses). So now that I can kinda see a dot I fire off a couple rounds. Shots are all over the place.

After 7 shots the lense fell out and I'm done with this optic. Taking it back tomarrow to get my money back. I'm not paying $60 for something that falls apart after 7 rounds of .22lr.

I do not recomend this product to anyone.

Best review ever. Pentax used to make some quality stuff, wonder what happened?

Yeah...price point is what happened. Pentax still has some nice Pioneer/Gameseeker scopes that Burris manufactures for them over in the Phillipines.
