Discovery scopes

[peddy]

They are decent for the price. Have seen a lot that have been purchased direct from China and none of them were any different from those purchased in the UK.

Kindest regards

I did wonder if the ones direct from China were copies? Have been looking for a compact scope and the direct ones are much cheaper than UK stock, which made me suspicious. Have had one yourself from China Dave?

I took a punt and bought a VT-1, 3-9x40 from t'bay. I researched it a bit and found the exact same model in their range, but a little older, circa 2016'ish, which was having some impact and recoil tests. It was sub £60 delivered, now just have to wait and see what it's like when it turns up.

I had one but it did not suit my eyes when paper punching, it was fine on spinners and backgrounds etc., but it just lacked sharpness for using it with it's highest mag (X25) on paper which is a lot of what I do. I consider them a budget scope now I've had one and would prefer using a Hawke for the extra money it takes to get the equivalent model from them, but everything has a price point and you have to be realistic in your expectations.

Ive got a 1-6x24 LPVO which was on my AK47, nice optic at 1-3 power, over that it had a bit of distortion, kind of like a fish eye effect. Has a great reticle though, something different from everything else. It did track well and is now safely on my .22 Sig.
For the price its a great scope.
Not where I got it from, but to show the reticle https://www.aliexpress.com/i/32948556093.html

I have a VT-2 3-12x44 SFIR which I bought from a UK retailer. Nice crisp optics, nice controls (although a little stiff to start with) and an excellent fine half mildot reticle (though it may be too fine for some).
Optics are sharp and clear. It came with flip up covers, sun shade, and mounts. In terms of overall diameter the objective end of the scope is the same as a Nikko Mountmaster 3-9x40 even though it's a 44 objective lens.
One thing some may not like is the entire reticle illuminates not just the central portion though that doesn't bother me.

I'm very happy with mine and would buy another Discovery scope quite happily. I have my eye on a compact 3-12x44 FFP Discovery HD at the moment....

I purchased a Discovery VT-R 4- 16x40 a fixed focus job direct from the RoC. Its not a patch on other RoC scopes I have, the lenses are fuzzy at their edges and the turrets are crap. Normally I buy Visionking, Vector Optics or Canis Latrans, however, I wanted that particular spec which none of the others did at that time so you live and learn the hard way.
