Thread: Thoughts on discovery scopes.

Unlikely to have enough recoil to shake the crap out of it... Never heard of them otherwise, so no idea if they are good or not but see if you can clamp the rifle into a tipton vise or similar, and line up something straight like the edge of a building with a defined horizontal line (block or a painted line etc) and then zoom in and out and use the focus and see if the reticle moves against the mark you've picked on the building. Then look through the field of view and see if you can pick up any weird visual effects and also any colour variations. Final one is on max zoom, see if the scope is actually useable for 'eye box' or the exit pupil size - if you can't wiggle your head without the occular lens going dark it's not going to be very useable in the field. 5-20 is quite a big scope for what is a relatively low-power and short range round. But in terms of the package and not knowing what retail is on a .22LR Tikka at the moment (as I'm not in the market for one) I can't tell you if it's worth buying the thing and chucking the scope for something possibly better suited?
