Based on some ads I saw online, i ordered a cheap chinese PRS scope, Discovery Opt 5-30x56 FFP, Mil-Rad. $259 + $39 for the rings plus shipping.
I sighted it in today at 100yds. Parallax dial graduation was spot on at 100yds. Turrets feel solid with nice clicks.
I shot a box test where I aimed at the bull but adjusted the scope between every shot, 22 click, or about 20cm square. Pictures show the shot numbers. 15 shots in total, 3 in each target.

I then shot 5 more. The load is SMK168, GGG Nato, WLR-M, 41.5gns Varget, 2.82" COAL, about 2600fps, SD 13fps.

How is the optics quality, can you spot .30 holes at 200m on white paper? How about 300m?

I will not be going to 200 or 300 in a while.
Image clarity looked fine but I have no top quality scopes to compare to. I could clearly read the phone number in the top right of the target at 30x.
I will locate and print some kind of a vision test image and test the scope with it at 100 so you can compare to your scope.
I wondering Discovery and buy 5-40×56, 6-36x56 and 5-25×56 modells in this year. I buy also 6-36x56 Zeiss S3 in last year and my opinion is, that is not 4-6 x better what is price in here. So near quality have is and you get scope in every cents. Niw I see gen3 is coming in market ( 5-40× example).
Biggest minus what Discovery optics scope have, is weight and size. That's are very big and heavy. Also 35mm tube diameter is not typical, but I get same price mounts in package and found also used Sphur mount.
