Discovery HD 3-18X50 SFIR and ED 3-15X50 SFAI review & comparison !!!

[Alejandroo]

Hi everyone, this is my first thread that I start over here so bare with me as I'll try to do my best on it. As I said and promise in other threads this will be my take and future comparison/review on the the 2 Discovery scopes that I got recently and I'll compare them against what I have (Athlon and Aeon). Sorry for the low light shots but I couldn't wait till tomorrow to take the pics in daylight, as I progress I'll upload more pics with daytime lighting.

So let's get started:

Nº1 Scope: Discovery HD 3-18X50 SFIR, FFP, 34mm tube.

Nº2 Scope: Discovery ED 3-15X50 SFAI, FFP, 30mm tube.

Hope everyone likes it and let's bring the comments, questions, personal experiences, comparison requests and more, I'm glad to help everyone.

All the best, Alejandro from CHILE !!!!

Of course I'll upload some scopecam footage, I'm going to use the Discovery phone scopecam mount that came in the package, all of that will be in my youtube channel in a few weeks, in the meantime I'll keep posting info right here.

Thank you, but there still more to come, I'll upload a new video (editing now) on the reticle view and then I'll post my written review here comparing them to Aeon and Athlon scopes.
I'll continue to update here.

Thanks for the comparison video Alejandro! 

The 3-18 hd seemed to have some cloudiness that I haven't noticed in the one I have. The ED sure looks nice and clear! 

How has the comparison with the Athlon and other scopes gone? Do you feel they are up there with them in quality? 

Thanks 

Wes
