Have looked at the fairly broad range they offer, are these just Ali Express disposables ? Comments? Thanks.

An URL reference would be helpful.

Wesb sells Discovery optics on his site. How do they compare to the ones to which you are referring? Most of his customers think they are great.

I have one mounted on my Kral Bighorn that was previously on my FX Crown. It's a good scope, maybe not the best glass quality I've ever seen but tracking is good, zoom is smooth and parallax seems accurate enough. All in all for that price point I really can't complain. That being said, I wouldn't risk putting one on a springer. My 2 cents anyway

I have one or two of them - No Propblems, but the ones I have were over $200.00 IIRC.
I also have a couple Vector scopes running over $300.00 and they have been just great, too, all bought from Wes.
None of them are on springers, though. I am running Leapers Accushot (I think they are marked) 3-12X44's 30mm etched reticles on my springers - great performance.

I have the Discovery ED 6-24x50 SFIR on my Aselkon and it's really nice.

Here is the lower powered ED 3-15 version. 93.6" elevation and 93.6" windage adjustment. HUGE!

That reticle is nice Daryl, for sure. Any other recommendations for a sub $250 mildot scopes for CO2? Thanks.

DL Airgun has a whack of them in different makes.
The 2 Leapers/Accushot scopes I have on my springers are really good. They should be in the $250.00 range.

Their selection on those is thin.
They do have some decent Simmons Scopes. I've used those on my varmint powder burners.

I would take a chance on this one.

& it comes with 11mm dovetail rings.

I've got a new batch of discovery scopes on the way, should be here soon. These are mostly the $100-$250 range, models that seemed to be pretty good for the money. 30mm tubes, side focus with parallax wheel and locking push down turrets.

Sounds great. I really like the turrets that pull up to turn, then push down to lock.
