[QUOTE="JUDD, post: 438795, member: 8739"] I will tell you this about the pentax. I used them with a straight 25x eyepiece. I tried to put two in a bracket and make a set of bigeyes but the size of the eyepice would not premit them to get close enough to see through both at the same time. I used them for a bit in the feilds of PA woodchuck hunting. I had no issue whatsoever spotting woodchucks at ranges in excess of 1200 yards. My kowas I can see if a buck was legal at well over 120 yards. If I was able to get the pentax to work as bigeyes I would have chosen them over my Kowas any day of the week and twice on sunday.:rolleyes: Spotting legality at 1000yards would not be and issue...in fact I would bet you would be doin it with a smile on your face :D If you want better then a pentax your gonna have to jump to a higher class scope...Like swaro class... this is my honest opinion I've looked thru and use Pentax,Bushnell,Nikon,Kowa,Leica, Luepold and Swarovski maybe some other that don't even come to my mind at this time. For what you want to spend go with the Pentax...You won't regret the purchase. Or get With the gentleman who posted here that has my old scopes....I'm sure he would cut you a hell of a deal...and they are practically new. [/QUOTE]
