This video demonstrates the performance of the Discovery Optics ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope at an extreme distance of 1400 yards. The presenter evaluates image clarity and chromatic aberration at various magnification levels, concluding that the scope provides a sharp image even at its maximum 20x power, allowing for identification of a trail marker sign at the target distance.

Quick Summary

The Discovery Optics ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope demonstrates impressive long-range performance, enabling target identification at 1400 yards. At 20x magnification, a 3-foot steel sign on an 8-foot pole was clearly visible. While minor chromatic aberration is present at higher powers, it is more noticeable through a camera than the naked eye.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Discovery Optics ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 perform at extreme long range?

At 1400 yards, the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope provides a sharp image at 10x magnification. At its maximum 20x power, it allows for the identification of a 3-foot steel sign on an 8-foot pole, demonstrating its capability for long-range target acquisition.

What is the maximum effective range for target identification with the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope?

The video demonstrates effective target identification at 1400 yards with the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope. A 3-foot steel sign on an 8-foot pole was clearly visible at this distance when the scope was set to its maximum 20x magnification.

Does the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope exhibit chromatic aberration?

Yes, slight chromatic aberration is noted in the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope, particularly visible as color fringing on tree branches silhouetted against the sky at higher magnifications. However, this effect is more pronounced through the recording camera than with the naked eye.

What is the recommended magnification setting for the best image quality on the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope?

For the best overall image quality through the glass, it is recommended to use the lowest power setting on the ED-PRS GenII 4-20x52 scope, which is 4x in this case. This setting helps to maximize clarity and minimize potential optical distortions.
