Here's some general info about Pentax....

Pentax
For years, Pentax has played hide and seek with where, and if, they list their riflescopes on the web. They've finally settled on http://www.pentaxlightseeker.com/, which may or may not be linked from their corporate page, at any given moment. Their Made-in-USA scopes have the same design features as Burris. They even look the similar... identical, even. OK, they are really just relabeled Burris scopes, which is not such a bad thing. Their new Lightseeker II features Burris's Posi-Lock reticle locking system (Pentax calls it Perm-Align). Pentax touts its well-known Super Multi Coating system on all lenses. All of Burris' scopes are now fully multicoated. After several years of obvious rebranding, the Burris-built Pentax models are differentiating specs from the Burris models, but I'm not sure if a 42mm objective lens is really that different from a 44mm objective.

I believe Pentax is assembled by Burris, but uses their own lens coatings.  They are not just re-named Burris scopes
