I bought a rifle several years ago that has this scope on it and I removed it when I sold it. I got to looking at it and although it is marked Pentax, it looks for all the world like a Burris. It is a 1.5-4x and I really like low powered compact scopes but the camo finish is a bit much foe my taste. My question is does anybody have a Burris like this and will paint stripper harm it to get the camo off.??
IT AINT what ya shoot--its how ya shoot it. NONE of us are as smart as ALL of us! The more I travel, the more I like right where I am.
Krylon BBQ flat black spray paint will do it.
Carefully mask the lenses first.
I’m not sure but I don’t think that it’s a Burris- but I do see the resemblance.
When Pentax was selling scopes, Burris was still made in the USA.
I think.

This was made in the Philippines as are Burris scopes are now. The glass is very clear and it has a ton of eye relief. I put it on my sons 45/70 and it performed great in spite of the fact that he likes it warm/hot. When he sold it I rescued it again.

Put it on a 30/30, 35 REM or 38/55 and be happy. It’s a good scope, get used to the beautiful camo.
Never trade luck for skill.
Yep, that's the first thing that came to mind. It would make a fine lever gun scope for hunting in the thicker stuff. The glass is super clear and it is better in the twilight than I thought it would be. as far as the beautiful camo.....I think it will need to grow on me.

I would be afraid that paint stripper would damage O rings and/or seals and cause it to leak its nitrogen. If I could not get forgiving of te camo I would paint without the use of stripper. Maybe rough up surface with a fine scotch bright pad.
