A New Scope Discovery!

[secretagentmole 1,701]

Wanted a new scope with IR, did not want to pay Hawke prices. I wanted a 10 year warranty. I paid £140, what did I buy? A Discovery VT-R2. What reticle? Half Mil Dot, true at X10, etched glass. Illuminated reticle, side focus, sunshade, flip up lens covers, with nice large wheel, lockable turrets, oh and some picatinny mounts (I need those for the Zbroia, 11 mm mounts are also available), flip up end caps. cleaning cloth, all included!

 

Box contents!

 

Well what's it like?

Not bad, in fact better than the Nite Eye it replaced, lighter, smaller, 44mm objective. This scope is good in low light conditions (see hunting section for more details).

 

Quite a looker isn't it? So £140 saw me with a 3-12x44 side focus, illuminated reticle scope.

I was hoping for one, but IR was wanted, Christmas is coming and we live app 40 miles from one of the Discovery importers... 

The VT-R 2 is superb value for money.

I keep hearing good things about these.

 

Have you tried it with the NS on yet?

When I see evidence of rabbits I will. On the main permission it looks like VHD has kicked the crap out of the rabbit population!

Looks good, is the side focus wheel removable?

Going to chase a couple of other paddock owners, see how their populations are. But rabbit numbers have really been hit round here. It isn't mixy, no bodies anywhere.

I don't see why anybody would pay dear for a scope with a 10 year warranty , as technology is advancing so fast there's going to be better cheaper scopes out there ever few years ?.
