DiscoveryOpt ED-ELR 5-40X56SFIR FFP-Z 1/20MRAD riflescope

Professional Precision, Available at Available - Designed for Extreme Distances

The DiscoveryOpt ED-ELR 5-40x56SFIR FFP-Z is a high-quality riflescope specifically developed for long-range shooting, aimed at the needs of modern sports shooters (even for extreme long-range shooting) and precision hunters. With a magnification range of 5–40x and a 56 mm objective diameter, this device offers exceptional flexibility at both medium and extreme distances. The 35 mm diameter tube allows for large internal adjustment ranges and a robust construction.

The lenses are made of ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass, which significantly reduces chromatic aberration and improves image sharpness. The fully multi-coated optics have excellent light transmission (≈92% or more light transmission), so you can see clear, high-contrast images even in low light conditions.

The first focal plane (FFP) reticle changes proportionally with magnification, allowing the scales used for range estimation and bullet compensation to show true values at any magnification, allowing range estimation and bullet compensation to be applied accurately at all magnifications. The illuminated reticle has six brightness levels, making it easy to use in low light conditions.

The optical parameters – such as 5–40× magnification, 56 mm objective diameter, and 35 mm tube – all serve the needs of professional shooters.

Main features

• Magnification and optics: 5–40× zoom, 56 mm objective diameter and 35 mm tube ensure a wide field of view and high light collection.

• Extra-low-dispersion (ED) glass: ED glass significantly reduces chromatic aberration, improving image quality and color reproduction.

• First Focal Plane Illuminated (6-step) Reticle (FFP): The size of the marking (cross) remains constant during magnification, allowing for accurate range estimation and bullet correction at any magnification.

• Side focusing (parallax): Quick and convenient side dial parallax adjustment.

• Illuminated cross: Red cross with 6 brightness levels (can also be used in ultra-low light), which can be adjusted with a side-mounted button.

• Precision turrets: 0.05 MRAD (1/20 MRAD) units on turrets, 24 MRAD elevation and 17 MRAD windage range. High-precision backlash-free zero adjustment.

• Zero Stop function: Resets the set zero point at the touch of a button, allowing you to quickly and reliably return to the authentic basic setting.

• Durability: Nitrogen-filled, waterproof and fog-proof design with water resistance.

• Impact resistance: up to 1500 G (optimized for large caliber weapons).

Areas of application and recommended use

This riflescope is primarily designed for precision sport shooting (PRS/ELR) and long-range hunting. It is excellent for large-caliber weapons such as .308 Win, .300 Win Mag or .338 Lapua Magnum. It is particularly suitable for target shooting and hunting competitions, as well as long-range hunting (e.g. hunting American bison, big deer), where high magnification and accuracy are key. The solid construction and tight sealing of the scope ensure reliable operation even in rainy, snowy or humid weather. It is also suitable for static tactical situations (e.g. aiming from a fixed position) thanks to the Zero Stop system and precise turrets. In field conditions, the waterproof, shockproof and fog-free design ensures reliability.

Value for money and competitive advantages:

The DiscoveryOpt ED-ELR stands out from its price range. While premium models like the Kahles K525i or the Sightron SVIII 5-40x56 can cost over 1–1.5 million forints, the DiscoveryOpt model is priced at just €462 (approx. 185,000 forints) in the EU.

But it is not only favorable compared to high-end models:

• The price of the Vector Optics Continental 5-30x56 FFP is approx. HUF 280,000

• The Delta Titanium HD 5-30x56 binoculars also cost between 300–350,000 HUF.

In comparison, the DiscoveryOpt offers a similar or wider magnification range, ED optics, FFP reticle, and premium features at a much more affordable price.

• Premium Optical Performance: Despite its lower price, the ED-ELR Gen II features superior optics – ED glass, full multi-layer coatings, and an FFP reticle – typically found only in much more expensive premium models.

• Wide magnification range: 5-40x magnification allows you to accurately target both short-range targets and extremely distant targets. This range is wider than many traditional 5-25x or 3-18x riflescopes.

• Robust design: The 35 mm tube and rugged design (1500 G shock resistance, waterproof and fogproof) guarantee a long life and reliability, even with intensive use.

Summary:

The DiscoveryOpt ED-ELR 5-40x56SFIR FFP-Z is an excellent choice for those looking for professional-level precision at an affordable price. Whether it's competitive sports or long-range hunting, this riflescope will be a reliable companion - both in optical performance and construction. It is recommended for both beginner and advanced long-range shooters who do not want to compromise on image quality and adjustment options - but are also price-sensitive.
