Discovery Optics

[saskdude99]

I was watching a reputable US guy doing reviews on Chinese scopes and the factories that produce them.
I've had no trouble with any of my Vortex scopes.
He mentioned Discovery Optics as a company that sells scope in the same class as Arken etc.
My question is twofold.
A. Has anyone ordered from Discovery and what was your experience with customs and additional tarrifs fees?
B. Has anyone bought one and what was your impression of the scope?

discovery has a Canadian distributor. Dude has a YouTube channel that reviews products. Does in house warranty I believe.

Addition - dude we shoot with bought his from AliExpress for cheap.
uses it for Rimfire PRS. My take is it has too small of an eye box and too thick of a reticle. He seems to enjoy it just fine. I know he’s got money for better glass I just don’t think he cares.

I ordered up a Discovery 1-8x LPVO for sh!its and giggles, based on a couple of favourable Youtube videos and the $300 CAD price tag. I am suitably impressed with what I received - enough so that I ordered up 2 more of the same scope. I like the Discovery 1-8x better than the Arken EP-8. As near as I can tell, the glass is about the same, but the Discovery LPVO has a better (simpler) MRAD reticle and locking turrets, which I prefer over the Arken's "Kill-box" Reticle and capped, non-locking turrets. With a 34mm Tube for maximum light transmission, the Discovery 1-8x LPVO offers a bright, sharp image with good colour representation. The overall size is comparable between the two brands of LPVO.

Try one - you might like it!
