I'm a Discovery fan. Got two of them. The HI models can take the recoil of a spring airgun without losing zero or suffering damage. For the money you get a lot of scope.
It is very similar. Continental is slightly better at 5x and it is easier to find correct eye position on 30x than HD gen2. Elevation and windage is actually better on HD gen2. So considering the price, the HD gen2 is the winner in my mind.
@@ziadkadiYeah, maybe, although, I don't know the last time I shot with an airgun at 10 m and if I did, I definitely did not use scope of this size :) I don't even shoot with the pistol at 10m... LOL
The only kind of illumination I like on a reticle is when it has only the center of the reticle that lights up, like if it has a center dot that illuminates.
Imo I like all discovery scopes I have a 3-12×44 on my Taipan Vet long 25 cal it has been on that air gun for two years now and still holding zero at 35 yards .,...for a 200-dollar scope that's pretty good it's very clear also have a 80 dollar discovery scope 4.4-18×44 on my ATI nova Vista 22 cal works pretty good as well thanks for sharing be safe buddy 👍🏻
Hi, have you had the opportunity to get feedback between the Vector Continental 5-30x56 and the new Discovery, which of the 2 is ahead of your opinion?
I actually explained this in one of the comments... In short (and in my opinion), Discovers is almost the same in performance as Vector. The things I would mention: Discovery's adjustment clicks actually feel better than Vector's. Discovery has slightly worse image at minimum magnification, the image is in perfect focus in the middle of the image but not that good at the edge, but in my mind, that does not matter anyway as no one will buy 30x scope to use it at 5x. At full magnification, pictures are very similar - very good.
Hi dear friend , thanks for this amazing information about this scope I bought this scope yesterday online , But I have a problem whit it in zooming ring , when I changed It 5 to 30 it didn't change for me on magnification , do I miss anything after unboxing? Can You help me plz?!
Gran bella ottica !! Comunque gregor ti avevo scritto per la prophet 2 mi avevi detto di allargare il buco della valvola assistita a 5 mm ma Qual è esattamente? Grazie mille gregor e scusa il disturbo
@@matteopierotti7687 The mod would required to extend the hole (not make it bigger) in the front cap where the valve is trawling to make more volume. More volume in that cup will result in valve staying opened for longer time. You can maybe contact RTI and ask them if they maybe offer an already enlarged cup. This way, you will not risk destroying yours :)
I use smaller Vector optics scopes, typically Veyron sometimes also Taurus. This scope is a little too big for K1 :). It would work of course, but it would look funny...
Yes, it is at least on mine. It is also nice that the ends on each side are "hard stops". It does not feel like you are squeezing the spring in any excessive way.
@@domingoliao2724I assume so. This type of valve is reaching theoretical limit of power that can be achieved. I can get about 82 fpe in .25 and 70 fpe in .22. I have seen a video that achieved 91 fpe in .25 but I assume I had slightly lower pressure when I got 82 fpe...
@@gregorkamensek3923 So the U.S. version of GK 1 are one or the same as what you have?as of the Huben K I .22 cal.what particular brand of pellets will do ?
@@domingoliao2724Same products for all markets, but they do already have few versions. I have version 3, US probably mostly have version 1. You can see the marking for version on mine "V3". The differences in versions are minor and don't have anything to do with power. I will shoot any pellet and slug, limitation is 11 mm in length to fit in the magazine.
I had a Discovery scope and it was the worst thing I ever bought. It was a 6-24 x 44 FFP with a 30mm tube. Horrible scope that was out of focus and blurry. HORRIBLE!
Stay away from DISCOVERY OPTICS!! This video might sound fun and good at the moment. Wait until you have an issue with your scope and go for warranty claim. Its a nightmare. I have experience it first hand. If you a TH-camr maybe they will hear you but for ordinary customers. Hahah GOOD LUCK WITH THAT!!! TAKE TAKE WEEKD JUST TO REPLY TO YOUR EMAIL. PLEASE BE AWARE AND CHECK ALL THE COMMENTS BOX FOR BAD WARRANTY CLAIM ALWAYS!!!
Thanks for the input. So far I don't have any issues and as you mentioned yourself, I might get more help than other customers when/if I do because I am a TH-camr. Anyway, I am sorry for your bad experience.
@gregorkamensek3923 yup, you maybe right on that part. I'm just saying this is a lawsuit waiting to happen. That lifetime warranty is bound to fail. Hope all bad experiences for customer service will come up. I'd buy from other brands and endorse other brands. If the lawsuit comes, you may never know. Anyway, like I said just a fair warning.
Got one on the way, hopefully here by the weekend!
Excellent.
I just bought this. Still didn't receive it. Such a good feeling to get Gregor's blessings right away like that. Very reassuring.
You will love it :)

Thanks for the feedback. I is nice to know that they can handle springers as those are the most demanding. we air gunners know more than well.
Thanks for your review bro.
👍
Can this scope work well on ak 47 caliber ..308 caliber and .7-62×54 caliber
Great review Gregor. Have you tried the DISCOVERY ED-ELR 5-40X56? how does it compare with the HD 5-30x? Thanks.
Hi. Thanks. I haven't tested it yet, so I cannot say...
Outstanding review brother!!!! I ordered mine yesterday.. it's going on my budget 6.5 creed range rig..
Thank you. That will be a good budget long range setup.
Thanks for the review bro. How would you compare it to the vector continental 5-30x56 ffp? Thanks
It is very similar. Continental is slightly better at 5x and it is easier to find correct eye position on 30x than HD gen2. Elevation and windage is actually better on HD gen2. So considering the price, the HD gen2 is the winner in my mind.
@gregorkamensek3923 another advantage of the vector is that the paralex starts at 10m vs 25m for the hd2 which makes it more airgun friendly I guess
@@ziadkadiYeah, maybe, although, I don't know the last time I shot with an airgun at 10 m and if I did, I definitely did not use scope of this size :) I don't even shoot with the pistol at 10m... LOL

In that case, Vector optics Continental would be a better option for you.

Great video. Thanks.

Thank Gregor! Continental …😊
That thing is a monster.
Yep. I love it.
This vs vtz 6 24 50 sf for pcp use which is better and has clearer image
Don't know, I haven't tested VTZ yet...
Would you put this on the GK1?
LOL. I have actually put a (rifle) scope on GK1 to start testing accuracy but I used a bis smaller scope :)
What do you use in your Huben K1?
I use smaller Vector optics scopes, typically Veyron sometimes also Taurus. This scope is a little too big for K1 :). It would work of course, but it would look funny...
@@gregorkamensek3923 One more question, do you know the WEST HUNTER optics scopes?
@@LucianoMaggi-z3x No, I don't.
@@gregorkamensek3923 Ok, thank you very much for answering my questions.
Where’s the video about 2 part of RTI P3 Performance ? You promise it and never doing?
33 mrad of elevation is real?
Yes, it is at least on mine. It is also nice that the ends on each side are "hard stops". It does not feel like you are squeezing the spring in any excessive way.
Show me a better scope for the money?? It doesn’t exist. This is awesome
I completely agree.
Throw lever , Gregor
LOL. Thanks. You know I tried to google it but I could not find the word... I have problems with my vocabulary when it comes to optics :)
@@gregorkamensek3923 By the way Gregor, is the U.S. version of Huben GK 1 the same as yours ?regarding its power (FPE)!

👍👍👍🇸🇦🇸🇦🇸🇦👍👍👍
The fact that the elevation & windage cannot be locked is a big red flag in my book. I wouldn’t ever use this on a real firearm.
Well it depends on the use, application and preference. I too can see reasons that you would like to lock it but for my use, I do not need locking.
This is my India boy
