DiscoveryOpt HT Gen2 6-24x44 SF IR FFP — Precision Optics for Hunting and Sport Shooting
The DiscoveryOpt HT Gen2 series represents Discovery Optics' entry-level yet premium-featured long-range riflescope line. The HT designation stands for High Transmission, which perfectly describes this model: the fully multi-coated, anti-reflective lens system delivers outstanding optical performance at dusk, dawn, and in challenging light conditions.
First Focal Plane Reticle — Accurate at Every Magnification
The scope features an FFP (First Focal Plane) reticle system, which is one of its most important advantages. In an FFP design, the reticle scales proportionally with magnification, meaning MOA subtensions represent the same real-world value at every power setting. This eliminates the need for recalculation: holdovers and wind corrections can be read directly off the reticle at any distance and magnification. This is particularly valuable for small-calibre (.22 LR) firearms and medium-to-long-range precision shooting where compensating for ballistic drop is critical.
Glass-Etched Reticle and IR Illumination
The reticle is glass-etched, resulting in a durable design that is resistant to mechanical damage. The central portion of the reticle features red IR (infrared) illumination with 6 adjustable brightness levels. The zero — off — position between levels allows quick, distraction-free switching. The partial reticle illumination enables reliable aiming in darkness, twilight, and fog without obscuring the target.
6–24x Magnification and 44 mm Objective Lens
The 6–24x magnification range offers exceptional versatility. The low 6x setting provides a wide field of view for fast target acquisition and tracking closer targets, while the maximum 24x power enables precise identification and engagement of small targets — such as varmints — at distances up to 700–800 metres. The 44 mm objective lens gathers sufficient light to keep the image bright and clear even in low light.
Side Parallax Correction from 10 Yards to Infinity
The side-mounted parallax adjustment wheel is adjustable from 10 yards (approx. 9 metres) to infinity, making it particularly practical for short-range small-calibre firearms and air rifles. Accurate parallax adjustment is essential for precision shooting: incorrect parallax shifts the apparent position of the target and affects shot placement. The side parallax wheel also serves as a fine-focus control, allowing the image to be sharpened at any distance.
Locking Elevation and Windage Turrets
The turrets feature a locking design, preventing accidental adjustment during transport, field use, or heavy recoil. With a 1/4 MOA click value, shot placement can be corrected finely and precisely. Both the elevation and windage axes offer a total adjustment range of 70 MOA, providing ample travel for compensating different ammunition ballistics and making long-range corrections.
Robust One-Piece Tube and Weather Resistance
The 30 mm main tube is manufactured from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy in a one-piece construction. This approach delivers greater rigidity, better vibration resistance, and a longer service life compared to two-piece designs. The interior is nitrogen-filled and sealed with O-rings, providing complete protection against water, moisture, and dust in all weather conditions. The matte black anodised finish reduces glare and ensures a field-appropriate appearance.
Package Contents and Warranty
The scope package includes a sunshade, flip-up lens caps, side parallax adjustment wheel, lens cleaning cloth, user manual, and a specification card. The HT series is covered by Discovery Optics' 3-year fully transferable warranty.
The DiscoveryOpt HT Gen2 6-24x44 SF IR FFP riflescope is a reliable, well-equipped optic for those who demand serious precision from their equipment — at a competitive price, without compromise.
