Discovery vs Primary Arms

[LONESTAR .25]

Hey fellers,
I'm in process of purchasing a Uragan2 in 30 or 25 cal.
I've spent hours reviewing scopes and comments here. I would appreciate real word advice on the

DISCOVER ED-LHT GEN2 3-15X50SFIR FFP-Z Rifle Scopes​

And Primary Arms SLx 4-16x44 FFP Rifle Scope - Illuminated R-Grid 2B Reticle.
Both reticles are intriguing. Mostly concerned about seeing reticle in dark areas and smaller mag.

I will use the rifle for long range target and primarily hunting. My hunting areas doesn't necessarily have wide open areas like a Prarie but lots of trees and underbrush
I have permission on 100acres that was logged 3 years ago and has tree piles throughout, ravines. Creeks and existing/new tree growth. I'm excited about the possibility of calling raccoons out of tree piles and coyotes around area.
Thanks for any input
Regards and be safe,
Gary

The Discovery scope has ED glass and has gotten many favorable reviews, ED glass is better glass than the normal glass the PA will be sporting FYI.

Sporting? You mean for target?
How does the illumination fare in woods on the Discovery?

Sporting = I mean what glass the Primary Arms uses, sorry for being vague! My Discovery scope has good illumination especially in darker situations .

You would have to go up to the GLx line or even the PLx to get there better glass. Of coarse you will be spending more $$.

Sporting is old school for wearing.
You could say " look at that guy sporting a Armani suit "

At least that is what my grey goo come up with,,,,, and that's non English grey good, good old burly Danish minded thinking goo.

I have been pretty impressed with Discovery scopes. I jumped on the FFP scope train many years ago with a brand new conductors hat. But when some of those scopes started migrating to my PCP’s, I was still on board. When I took to the woods with those PCP’s, I quickly bailed off that train. I haven’t purchased a Discovery in a while because it seems FFP is starting to dominate their lineup. All my Discoveries are SFP and I’ve never had an issue with them.

Good point Vet
My other 2 air rifles and powder burners SPORT SFP

I don't have the ED but my Discovery HD Gen II 5-30x56 is one of the most clear optics I have at full power. I compare it to Arken as far as build quality . PA used to source his scopes from Vector Optics prior to them becoming more well know. Vector optics has also had a pretty good name in the airgun community for some time The Britts really dig VO.

I’ve had a couple discovery scopes and I’ve never had an issue with them!

Thanks guys for your advise, much appreciate. I purchased the Discovery paid 197.00 with sale price and you tube discount. What height scope rings do you all recommend for a Uragan2?
I'm ordering my Uragan2 30 cal Derrick @zx10wall at Tenacious Airguns.

Great Guy and very easy to talk with.
