Discovery ED-PRS 5-25x56: the BEST Budget Precision Optic
looking to pick one up? (USA and Canada)
www.cdnprecision.com/shop
Likely the best Budget precision optic, and especially for the Canadian market.
There has been a lot of competition in the last few years to come out with the best high value precision optics geared toward the entry level PRS or likely more the NRL22 community. and the discovery ED-PRS does exactly that
with the following features:
- 5-25X Magnification
- Over 30 MILS of elevation (my test unit has 35 mils)
- Zero stop
- Hoya FCD 100 Glass (ED glass)
this presents a great value, especially for Canadians: while in the USA it retails for approx. 500 USD (See link)
in Canada it retails for 560 CAD see link below:

Got my Discovery ED-PRS just over a week ago from cdnprecision. I just did my first prs 22lr match this weekend and I absolutely love the scope. I also texted them a question on shipping times and got a response in minutes. I really recommend the scope and cdnprecisions customer service is awesome. Only issue is just like he said, the scope rings are crazy high and so I had to buy some different ones.

@user-rg5cn1ue4t 9 месяцев назад

Hi. Just a quick comment. After ordering the NEW Discovery PRS GEN II only 6 days ago, it showed up today, in perfect condition. Amazing. This may be the first one here in the USA. To show that Discovery listens to the customer reviews, the box is slightly smaller, due to them only sending 1 sunshade! Who needed 3? Also, they have added an ocular flip-up lens cover, in addition to the rubber disc everyone hates. All the rest of the accessories are there. As I mentioned, it has replaced the $800 Vortex and a quick look through the glass was just fantastic.

Got one of these based on this (and other) reviews. Scope is built like a tank, massive turrets and very nice reticle. Clicks are very tactile and audible. From a quick look only the Glass looks at least on par with the strike eagle 5-25x56, or better. Mounted but still need to shoot it... Looks to be excellent value

If you are looking at picking one up (for Canadian's and USA) you can find one on www.cdnprecision.com/product-page As mentioned this is my website, after Discovery sent me this sample model in Nov of 2022, I realized this would be an amazing push in the right direction for Canadian's. Rarely do we ever just see price differences with the exchange rate from the USA as they usually come with lots of other inflationary fees. but not today and not from me on this product. so if you want to support me and the channel and have an excellent optic with exceptional value consider picking one up. (also I verify the fit and finish on all the optics that leave my place) thanks! feel free to ask me any questions!

@EpikArms Год назад

also If you are near the Alexandria On area (halfway between Ottawa and Montreal) and want to have a look before you buy, you can come by in person and compare some of the competition to this optic before you buy. just message me on the cell number on the website.

@user-rg5cn1ue4t 11 месяцев назад

Hi. I've been enjoying your channel for quite a while. I have a bunch of Vortex Vipers, a new Strike Eagle 5-25X56 etc. Also have 2 new Arken EP5s and this Discovery model. I feel the Arkens and the Discovery are better than the Vortex SE in spite of the SE being more than 2X the price. Today, I may have received the very first Discovery 5-40X56mm (35mm tube) scope in the USA. I bought it directly from the factory i n China. If you think the PRS is big, the 5-40X56 is its big bother! The package included the 3 sunshades, a set of rings, etc, just like the PRS model. The supplied rings seem to be equal in quality to my Arken rings, but may be too high for my taste. Luckily my box of spares provided a set of new Millet 35 mm low rings. Good thing, these are NOT cheap! I don't hunt and only target shoot on my private range, so size is NOT an issue for me. The parallax goes down to 25 yards also. I did a quick look through the scope at 40X and as expected, the eye box was tight. I'll never run it that high. Bottom line? I can't decide which of my 7 precision rifles is gonna get this bad boy, but I could NOT be happier!!!!! ron

Hi Apocalyptic, glad to hear! There aren't that many difference from the gen 1 to the gen2, the main being that they reduced the size of the parallax dial to a more normal size, although due to that the paralax is a bit stiffer. Other than that the changes are esthetic.

@commonsense5709 Год назад

I really think you're better off spending just a little more for a Nightforce NX8 4-32x50 instead of a 5-20x50 Element Nexus. We already did an ($999 sale price and past recent sale price was $1099) Element Optics Nexus vs $1800 (sale price) Nightforce NX8 4-32x50, $616 (sale price on Amazon right now) Athlon Ares BTR 4.5-27x50, $450 (recent sale price) Arken EP5 5-25x56 specifically at 5-20x and they all were either equal to if not better than the Element Nexus in turret tracking and feel and image quality. Another buddy tested this new $399.99 Discovery PTS ED 5-25x56 and it's clearer than the Nexus at 5-20x magnification and turrets felt better too. Resale value on the Element Nexus is extremely bad too. Another buddy had an extremely difficult time selling his Element Nexus and was lucky to sell his for half of retail cost.

If you're on an extremely tight budget the AYIN Reaper 6-24x50 FFP 30mm for $159.99 is a step up compared to the Vortex Diamondback Tactical 6-24x50 for less than half the price.

Priced very similar to the sh4 gen 2 6x24. Which would you recommend for a .22lr?

@EpikArms Год назад

Hi Matthew, the ed-prs is more comparable to the ep5 optically I. Fact it is sharper and has a more forgiving eyebox than the ep5 and sh4. I would say the turrets on the discovery feel better and more positive than the sh4 but the ep5 feel sharper. In term of fit and finish the magnification on the sh4 and ep5 are smoother than the discovery . I would recommend the ed prs for nrl22 or long range elr22

@krukhlis Год назад

Thank you for the affordable optics review. For this price and 5x and FFP -- it should be a fantastic option. The only question is how much recoil it can handle -- usually with cheap optics you lose 0 after a few shots even with 5.56 rifles. 😁 Also, just wondering if you can share the range name/address? E.g. at 4:16. It's definitely not a regular farm. 😉

@EpikArms Год назад

Hey Krukhlis, yeah it's nit my farm. I technically cannot have other people... (unless I buy my own farm... someday!) Yeah this scope has seen many rounds around 1500 rimfire and a few matches. And I used in in my semi .223 review (coming out in a few weeks)

looking based on specs alone and previous experience with Sighmark. they are usually mid tier in quality. and performance. this optic only has 26 mils so for ELR rimfire maybe not, fov isnt great on the low end but decent on the 30x. so many other things need to be considered like eyebox and fit and finish. hard to give an opinion based on specs alone

question: can you tell the differences between gen 1 and gen 2? this scope is getting a lot of praise. some say better glass than a arken sh-4 and even the vortex viper pst…

@EpikArms 5 месяцев назад

Hi Nelson. The differences were mostly superficial. They made the parallax wheel smaller (so it's not abnormally big) other than that it's basically the same. The glass is the same as the gen1. Or at least I can't tell the difference. Yes the glass is better than the sh4. And it's a tad better than the EP5 in my opinion. Another note is the fit and finish of the Arken optics is perfect while the discovery is a tad stiff and woyld likely take some time ans use to be smoother.

On other websites where this scope is for sale they also mentioned 15 mils. If this incorrect and it indeed has more than 30 mils then I might really consider the discovery ed 5-25x56.

Can't seem to find any for sale from disco and no reponses from them either. 2- the lines on the elevation turret Don't line up. The windage is perfect but the elevation sits in the middle.

@EpikArms Год назад

keep in mind there's a Bias/perception of bias since I decided on selling them in Canada. then again I have code you can use I you buy from Arken. that said I find the fit and finish on the Arken EP% better, magnification/focus adjustment are just a cut above the Discovery (keep in mind i have examined 7 Discovery ED-PRS units and the fit and finish is very much consistent one to another) for the Arkens well ive only ever used the demo versions sent to me. the turrets on the discovery are very sharp and very audible its easy to skip over where you intended on going due to the resistance, the Discovery not so positive and audible but not as much resistance. (for turrets discovery) regarding glass quality and eyebox I would say discovery; i have the Arken ep5 and the discovery side by side for a few days outside trying to look and see wich one was superior optically, while it is close I would say the discovery has a noticeably more forgiving eyebox, while both have some chromatic aberration the discovery appears to have somewhat less. so theres that and theres company support Arken has a more established presence in the USA while Discovery is still working on it . For Canada its mostly Rangeviewsportsimporting every 3-4 months and they sell out quick, also I have no idea how arken is doing its warranty support in Canada. while with Discovery in Canada warranty wise they would ask for proof (pictures of the defect (or have people sent them to me to verify) and they would send a new one from china. hope that helps!

How are you compared it vs EP-5?

@EpikArms 5 месяцев назад

In short almost everything is the same, glass might be a tad better. And the fit and finish is better on the Arken.

@jimmorwood9715 Год назад

Are they just for 22cal rim fire

@EpikArms Год назад

No sir they are rated for centerfire as well. But for the price it fits perfectly for base class nrl22

Is this similar in quality (glass ) to the ep5 or not close ?

@EpikArms 8 месяцев назад

Quite similar, the main difference is the fit and finish, on almost all Arkens the focus and magnification were quite smooth. The arkens tend to have stiffer paralax wheels, and the occasional stiffer magnification. Otherwise I'd say they are on the same level

What's the USA Discovery Optics contact info? I have had an issue with my totally garbage Discovery HD 5-30x56 that has absolutely the worst image quality from all of my high magnification scopes. It's like looking through waxed paper when set on high magnification 30x really no joke. Image quality starts to get bad past 20x it's totally unacceptable. I have the Discovery HD 4-20x50 and 5-25x50 and they're fantastic and how in the hell their more expensive HD 5-30x56 monstrosity is so unacceptably terrible? I compared all 3 Discovery HD scopes at only 20x and the most expensive 5-30x Discovery HD has the worst image quality at 20x. Bear on mind the much cheaper 4-20x50 HD was maxed out at 20x and was still crystal clear while the 5-30x at 20x was pretty awful. I used to rave about how good Discovery scopes were and own at least a dozen Discovery scopes of different models up until that last Discovery HD 5-30x I spent the most money on really soured me and quit recommending Discovery brand and switched to Vector Optics for budget friendly Chinese made scopes. It's been sitting for a couple of years since the glass is too terrible to use. I really pity everyone who owns the 5-30x56 Discovery HD.

@MrRockstar1968 Год назад

I bought a Discovery scope last year and it was the worst scope I've ever seen. It also had multiple faults such as a cracked lens, all 10 illumination setting were all the same brightness and the zoom and focus was appalling. I recorded video footage of all the faults and contacted the supplier and to have it sent back and they attempted every trick in the book to try and bribe me into keeping the scope. I had to threaten legal action to have the scope sent back and recieve a refund.

@EpikArms Год назад

Wow that is awful. Few questions: Can you forward me the conversation between you and the supplier. Also is the supplier a retailer or a Discovery employee themselves? Was it this specific scope model that you had issues with or which discovery scope? For every unit I'm letting leave my place I'm manually inspecting them. Ideally to avoid most post sale support. But as long as I'm retailing this one I won't be letting that happen.

I replace the defective unit. And Discovery have been great. They just resupply me in the next order. I've been selling them for the last 2 years now, and there has only been 1 instance where it was needed. I beleive back in the day their warranty service was less than Idea.

It's just like knocking on wood. They told me I might be scamming them, hahhaa, imagine that. I even told them I'll provide them with video and the original box as proof, but they ghosted me. Just hope you continue your good relationship with them. For me, I am never buying one of any scope they sell, even if just a dollar ever again.
