DiscoveryOpt HD GEN-II 5-30×56 SFIR — Precision Riflescope for Hunting and Long-Range Shooting
The DiscoveryOpt HD GEN-II 5-30×56 SFIR is the second-generation update to Discovery's HD series, developed for shooters who want a single optic that performs equally well for long-range hunting and precision sport shooting. The 34 mm one-piece CNC-machined aluminium tube, advanced HD optical system, and zero-stop turrets combine to create a reliable, field-ready instrument.
First Focal Plane Reticle — Accurate at Every Magnification
The FFP (First Focal Plane) layout means that the reticle subtensions remain proportionally correct at both 5x and 30x magnification. In practice, holdover and wind hold values based on the reticle markings are valid at any magnification — no mental corrections needed, and no requirement to dial to maximum power for accurate readings. The reticle is etched and comes with illumination.
HD Optics and Light Transmission
The defining feature of the HD series is its fully multi-coated (FMC) optical system, which minimises reflections and maximises light transmission. The 56 mm objective lens gathers ample light, which is a significant advantage during dawn and dusk hunts when game is most active.
Zero-Stop Turrets — Fast and Reliable Zeroing
- Click value — 0.1 MIL (1/10 MIL), precision adjustment at long range
- Elevation adjustment range — 33 MRAD
- Windage adjustment range — 17 MRAD
- Zero-stop (pull-down) design — turrets can be pulled back to the pre-set zero, preventing accidental loss of zero
This design is especially useful in the field, where distances change rapidly and quick adjustments followed by a return to zero are essential.
Side Parallax Adjustment — 20 Yards to Infinity
The side parallax dial allows precise focus from as close as 20 yards (approx. 18 m), a notable advantage for close-range hunters and shooters using smaller calibres with short effective ranges. The full range extends to infinity, covering all standard shooting distances.
Build Quality and Weather Resistance
- Tube — 34 mm diameter, one-piece CNC-machined aerospace aluminium
- Length — 380 mm
- Weight — 1040 g
- Shock resistance — 1200 G
- Nitrogen-filled — prevents internal fogging
- O-ring sealed — waterproof and fog-proof
Discovery backs the HD series with a lifetime warranty, which represents a significant level of manufacturer confidence at this price point.
Who Is It For?
The HD GEN-II 5-30×56 SFIR is best suited for shooters looking for a versatile optic capable of mid- and long-range use in hunting or sport shooting — without paying premium European brand prices. The 5x lower magnification is sufficient for woodland close-range hunting, while the 30x upper end allows precise aiming beyond 1000 metres.
Note: This riflescope does not include scope rings or a mounting base. Appropriate 34 mm rings or a mounting rail are recommended and sold separately.
