Discovery scopes are certainly not new,I have had mine for many years. Discovery scopes are a bit heavy, they have sharp edges,at least mine does. Butt their optics are great and for the money, I think they are about the best scope you can get..
I got mine from the factory in China , years ago it took over a month for me to get it...No problem for me to wait. The top of line has Japanese optics...Yes indeed, great scope for the money, and the highest-end ones are great period.
