Frequently Asked Questions

What does ED stand for in the Discovery Optics ED ELR scope?

ED in the Discovery Optics ED ELR scope stands for Extra Low Dispersion glass. This advanced optical element is used to minimize chromatic aberration, resulting in a sharper, clearer image with improved color accuracy, which is crucial for long-range shooting.

What is the significance of an FFP reticle on a rifle scope?

FFP stands for First Focal Plane. In an FFP scope, the reticle is located in front of the magnification lens system. This means the reticle's size changes proportionally with the zoom level, allowing for consistent range estimation and holdover adjustments at any magnification setting.

The Discovery Optics ED ELR 5-40x56 scope typically includes a range of accessories such as scope rings, multiple sunshades of different lengths, a throw lever, cleaning brushes, lens caps, a scope leveling kit, instructions, and a quick reference card.
