This video reviews the Discovery Optics HD MPVO at a distance of approximately 1400 yards on Mount Davidson. The reviewer notes good color accuracy and clarity, though with some softening at the edges. Performance at 6x magnification is described as very good, with no visible chromatic aberration. At 12x, light, contrast, and detail decrease, and the eyebox becomes tight and unforgiving, but target acquisition of a 3-foot sign and a hiker is still possible.

This video demonstrates a 'nipple twister' or return-to-zero test for the Discovery Optics HD 2-12x MPVO. The test involves aggressively dialing the turrets for elevation and windage, then returning them to their factory zero to assess accuracy and repeatability. The optic successfully returned to its starting point, indicating reliable turret performance.

This review covers the Discovery Optics HD 2-12x24 MPVO, highlighting its budget-friendly nature and features like a first focal plane reticle and parallax adjustment down to 5 meters. While offering good clarity and tactile turrets, compromises include a tight eyebox, softening at the edges, and a reticle illumination not bright enough for daylight use. It's positioned as an affordable option for longer-range shooting and hunting.
