Hi Alex, I got my Gen II from you back in January and I have been thoroughly impressed with the quality and performance (and so has my buddy who paid a lot more for his Vortex Diamondback). I have it mounted on my Tikka T3X in 6.5 CM and love it. Thanks for bringing this great optic to Canadian shooters at a reasonable cost. Cheers and good shooting !

I also bought mine from Alex and mounted on the same rifle and shoot 1100 yards regularly with no issues at all. I’ve since swapped to a delta Stryker optic on that rifle and am mounting the discovery on my Siberian SRV2 and gunna try and shoot 1km with it!

Definitely on the wish list, love the reticle!❤❤❤

Glad it was helpful! Much appreciated!

Nice scope 👍🏻👍🏻

I had ordered one last week from Amazon and should arrive today for my Savage 110 in 6.5CM. I was heavily comparing the Arken SH4J. I went with the Discovery for the wider objective lens for a bit more light. Can't wait to mount this thing!

It might be nice to know that within the box there's a handy small plastic device that you can use instead of a coin to adjust te scope. As it's never been mentioned I guess most users don't find it on the bottom of the black foam, I saw it after several days myself.

How does this compare with the Arken EP5? Maybe it would be useful to make a comparison video

Popular scope presently. Out of stock from discovery optics direct here in Europe.

Thanks for teaching me the Canadian pronunciation of chamois. I received a new ED-PRS 5-25 x 56 today. Amazon $349. The manual enclosed was not for this model. I see no contact info online or a pdf manual. I am wondering what the left, outside knob function is? Thoughts?

@jeffkalina7727 hey Jeff, I sell them in Canada, and also this is my my review the dial on the left is the focus parallax and on the same knob, the illumination

Looks promising, and this brand has a range of good quality scopes. But, for similar money - would you not consider a Vortex Venom or an Element Helix? Thanks.

@EpikArms

2 ай бұрын

Good question, the venom has significantly less adjustment so not ideal for ELR. And the Helix has less adjustment and only 5 mils per Rev on top of that.

Awesome 😎. If i had that kind of budget price in my wheel house. I would definitely buy one in a heartbeat.

What do you think about ED-LHT gen2 3-15x50? That would be more suitable for hunting and sometimes long range shooting scenario bacuse of the less weight. Please reply.

How does it stack up to Vortex Diamondback Tactical FFP 5-24? One can get that for the same price.

@EpikArms

Big difference between the two. Yhe diamondback was designed much earlier. The vortex has only 6 mils per revolution while the Discovery had 10 mils per revolution. The vortex only has a total of 19mils of adjustment while the discovery has 36 mils. The vortex also has a smaller feild of view than th3 Discovery. Also the glass in the vortex is inferior. The vortex was good for its time but there are more competitive optics at good prices out this day and age.

Bravo DISCOVERY! Excellent review and excellent scope! Spending 3000-4000$+ for any of the big names, it is to much!

I would be willing to bet you that this optic is built in the same factory on the same lines as the Arken EP5. I would even say the internals (glass being the exception) are identical. If I wanted to put my "brand" on a budget optic, I could go the same factory, tell them what I wanted and they would build it and I could sell off branded EP5 or ED-PRS clones on ebay. Its done more often than you think. They will build what you spec. In fact, if you're paying right and willing to provide your own on site quality control, they will build scopes that will rival Nightforce, Schmidt & Bender and ZCO. The cheap low quality stuff you see is because that is what the customer ordered.

Japanese manufacturing once had the same stigma as Chinese manufacturing does today. The insatiable need for chasing cheaper and cheaper labor nets the same result - eventually settling in on untouchable labor savings with modern and capable manufacturing. The public has lost its appetite for the labor premiums that traditional western markets command as cost of living increases have wiped out disposable income. We did this to ourselves. These scopes get better every year, and the value is unmatched. Chinese Made doesn’t necessarily mean “low quality” at all anymore. We made sure of it.

Long barrel life in my opinion is overated. The odds of you shooting 6000 rounds through a 6.5cm aren't that high. But to answer your question I don't know.

.308 boss

@jtigertic

2 ай бұрын

.308 is gonna be the closest to the 6.5, from there probably 7mm-08 and 30-06 but it all depends at what distance you are shooting and the speed and weight of the bullets you are pushing. For most people's shooting habits they will rarely shoot out a barrel. Now if you start shooting F-class and running overbore magnums to beat the wind and have less drop you will burn through some barrels but even those will last around 1200 rounds. Example 7mm Rem mag, 7PRC, 300 win mag, 300RUM, 300PRC and several others.

​@jtigertic Thank you Justin that was a really good answer. Looking at tikka t3x Super varmint in 600mm 1:10twist I was thinking of 308 and in 10 to push some heavy pills but I am wondering is it gonna be good enough for 1.2 or 1.4 kilometers just for the fun factor to ring some steel far away couse everyone is falling for those 6.5 but I want to be able to do some deep penetration and 30-06 seem to have all the weights you would ever need and just a touch more speed than 308. As they say 30-06 is 270 but on a vegan diet.

@dethmgnt4257

@kmom777 .308 is the least likely to burn your barrel out prematurely and is the most available full power cartridge with loadings ranging from very inexpensive surplus to very high-quality match offerings. It is perfect for shooting man sized steel well past 1000 meters. If you're looking for the tightest groups on a bullseye past 1000, then I would say the 6.5 Creedmore/ PRC or .280 Ackley or some of the benchrest chamberings could do you better. Either way, have fun!
