I purchased a 1-6 power scope for $100.00! It is incredibly clear and well made! Mated it to a FAL 308 without problem with a DSA Scope mount (dust cover with a milled in rail) and the supplied rings. While the scope is quite heavy it is beautifully made and finished. Never had an inexpensive scope this well made and finished. The most amazing glass is used at this price point with clarity, lack of distortion and no drift of the reticle. Purchased it from Amazon. Since I’m red-green color blind can’t speak for color reproduction!

[@Moondog2A]

Did you get the Discoery LPVO? The fact that it holds up to a FAL is a good indication of it's reliability.

[@AlanFenick]

@@Moondog2A YES, LPVO! 1-6 power. While the weight is substantial it helped mitigate some recoil. I also tried it on my Rock River LR-8 also in .308 Win. No noticeable reticle changes or damage. I tried the supplied lens flash kill device, but it reduced some clarity of the image at 100 yards. Really like the scope, not perfect, but a real bargain. The rings work and used lock tight on the screws and on the dust cover for the FAL. I had been using an Israeli SUIT optical sight with an after market tritium element on the FAL.

[@AlanFenick]

@@mofatjippyfransisco713 For the price I consider it a steal! My only sort of down is the weight! While it weighs quite a bit it helps mitigate some of the recoil from my FAL. With the scope the total weight is 11 lbs 12 oz.

[@RonBussiere-c2t]

Hi. Just a very minor observation. I just received 2 new Discovery Genlls in the last week. I now have 3 of the Genlls and a Gen l. Fantastic. I also have 4 Arken EP-5s. One thing I just noticed on the 2 new Discovery Genlls, they have changed the throw lever. My 2 older scopes have the round, threaded lever like your lead picture. The new one have what appears to be a much sturdier design which comes already attached. Maybe they had complaints of the round ones falling off? Mine are fine since, I use Blue Loctite. Just a great example of the way Discovery is on a continuous improvement process. Of course, Today Amazon dropped the price another $30. just my luck. Now saving for the new Arken 7-35X56 Genll. Great channel!!!!!!

[@RonBussiere-c2t]

I almost forgot... The new scopes also come with the upgraded 'honed' rings. Of course, the ones that come with the scope are too tall for my taste. They would be perfect on an AR platform. On all my varmint/target rifles, I use the 0.97" rings, and the sunshade clears the barrel by 1/4". These are absolutely the best rings I've ever used!!

[@Moondog2A]

Right?! Totally higher quality rings that I would have expected at that price.

[@Moondog2A]

For scopes, I much prefer a good fitting plastic clip on throw. I've had one too many accidents where a rifle got knocked over and worry that the screw ones will snap off at the base.

[@ryimscaith1593]

As everything was solid mounted for the video (great picture from that, btw), it left out how the parallax effect was. That is, when you shift off direct center of the scope, the blur on the sides. Better scopes compensate for this, so you can be off center quite a bit and still get a good field of view in the scope. How did this compare on that? Sorry to go all technical, but you piqued my interest greatly with your review.

[@Moondog2A]

Paralax was good. Comparably flat field of focus to my other go-to scopes like Vortex, Athlon, etc. But you can't go off center too much with scope because of its narrow eyebox (exit pupil).

I have had 3 Discovery scopes over the last 7 years and all but the newest have been very good value for the money. Unfortunately the newest HD 3-12x44 SFIR FFP Compact, has a tiny eye relief zone and even from a bench it seems if you move youe eye even a mm, the reticle blurs out and shifts position by a large amount. All other aspects of the scope are as usual Discovery, meaning good glass, turrets and build quality. I'm not sure if this issue is a design problem with this model, or just an issue with my unit.

That's a good suggestion. Discovery does make a 20 MOA mount. 39 is a darn cheap price. amzn.to/4aav2wB Pair that with a 20MOA rail from 419 and that's plenty

[@absolutegunrights3079]

@MoondogIndustries I prefer to avoid the 20 moa rails if I can, because it adds another thing that can loosen up. I'm able to get out to 1,000 yd, with just the 20 moa scope mount, but if I was to push further 1,200 to 1,500 I would fall short then we have no choice but to add on the 20 moa rail as you suggested. Still, it would be nice if Discoveryopt would make us a 25 and 30 moa cantilever scope mount. Perhaps you can suggest it to them. They would not have any competition and they would get all the sales.

To what caliber is the shock rated? I shoot 300 wsm and had to send two Leupolds back for repair. Osprey can handle up to 50 bmg so I'm curious at this point.

[@Moondog2A]

They responded: "We have other testers who had the Gen2 ED5-25 on 50BMG and other large-caliber hunting rifles without any issues. So, yes it will withstand the recoil of 50BMG."

Do you know why the Gen II 5-30x56 is $400.00 USD while this Gen II 5-25X56 is $300.00 USD? I got the 5-30 for reaching power. Not bad at all to my Zeiss and Smith & Bender on my ATG Gold L115A3 (modified by my uncle). My 5-30 was free because my uncle was once a Col of the SAS. Malcolm Douglas Cooper was my uncle's friend. And uncle gave me one (above rifle) of his rifles because he knew the EDM XM .408 was just too heavy for me to carry & shoot. Please don't think that Made In China is bad. You do know that Apple products are made in China, right? My uncle says, "If you don't know about your tools /or equipment /or not taught by the best, you will always be making excuses."

[@Moondog2A]

Nice about your uncle and you getting his scope. There are may good optics made in China. But for every good optic there are 100 crapy scopes made in some factory but marketed under dozen different brand names.

Only one downside: parallax adjustment not going bellow 25 yards. Whether you are a plinker, or a hunter, you just might find yourself in a need to precisely aim at 7, 8 or 10 yards. But, that was the side effect of huge (x5) zooming range, I guess..
