Discovery HD 2-12X24 SFIR FFP. A little experiment.

To jump on the Discovery bus, I recently ordered a pair of 6x24 scopes. I don’t have high expectations, so I hope they fall above that. At the very least they will go on my 2240 and Notos that I loan out to friends to try and get them hooked on AG’s. Price has gone up to $71 now.

How do you like this very inexpensive scope?
Do you have a link?
Seems perfect for a Notos!

So far so good. It doesn’t have the greatest eye relief, but luckily is is secure with only using one ring. It will find its way back to my Notos. Right now they are on my S200 and Revere. Those are getting back yard plinking time. I’m glad I purchased them. The one thing about them is if you use the illuminated reticle the edges if the viewing area illuminates. I don’t use illuminated generally, so it’s a non issue for me. If you want to keep a platform as lightweight as possible, it’s a good little scope.
 
I would buy a third one of the Discovery HD 2-12×24 scopes before another Vector Veyron 3-12×44, based on factory direct sales and quality, reticle choice and size, overall size, and value for the money. There's a little less light transmission on the 24mm front lense versus the 44mm but it is negligible for the use. With both scope's at minimum power, the reticle of the Discovery HD is much bigger and easier to see and use. The Vector, at all ranges is smaller and thinner.
I’ve just received mine … be interesting to see if it will work for pistol HFT

It does have a really good eye relief, but nothing like a true and dedicated pistol scope. I'm weighing buying a third scope so one doesn't have to be taken off another rifle. They are a sweet little scope, that's for sure.
