Canadian Airgun Forum

I just ordered two Discovery scopes from Wes, the VT-3 3-12x44 FFP AO and the VT-3 4-16x44 FFP AO. I saw great reviews and comments online, and Wes' service is top notch, so I made the step . One is for my Taichi-X rifle, the other one for my .177 Beeman QB78. They both have a 30mm tube, a lot of interesting characteristics, and come with rings.

Anyone else here have one of those, or another Discovery model?

Yep! I got a HI 6-24X50 AO/SF and sf wheel from Wes. Great guy to deal with (OK this is not the Feedback section...sorry)
But this scope is awesome. It really rivals with theH....ke...brand scopes in turns of features...clarity...and build quality. Love it. It's on my KRAL that I've dedicated to FT shooting.

I have recently checked with Wes about the new (to me) FFP 30mm tube scopes in the VT3 3-12 X44 model to see how it compares with the BugBuster 3-12X32sf. It looks close...but I prefer not having the IR feature of the Discovery which I don't need or want and it also adds weight to the scope. But have to agree with Airmec...they're nice. I must also mention that the Discovery scope I got had a very very well written User/instruction Manual + a Lifetime Warrantee certificate. This speaks about the quality to be expected.

Thanks for chiming in Hawk-I . I also have 4 scopes of the brand you mentionned (love them!) and was wondering how the Discoverys would compare with them. Just can't wait to test them!

I have a couple of the more pedestrian version- the 3-9 X 40 A/O 2nd FP 1/2 mil-dot.
Nice little scopes for the money.

Not really a fan of the FFP, and it's shrinking reticle. I suppose they'd be o.k. if all I did was target-F/T work. I'm a hunter, and having to go above 14 X or so for a full reticle is quite problematic...

Wes was mentioning in an elsewhere post something about a 3-12X 2nd FP Discovery...

Well this will be my first experience with a FFP scope, so I guess I'll have to learn to use it. I don't hunt, I just plink and target shoot, standing and bench-rested, so I'm curious about how it'll be compared to my 2nd FP scopes. Also I think their reticles and turrets are in MilRad rather than MilDots, I'm not familiar with that at all.

Any time to shoot yet? Looking forward to your review as I was looking into a Discovery for my Diana 350 in the near future.
