I test out 3 of Arken Optics scopes from their newer lightweight lines of optics.
Talk pros, cons, price and performance.
I was VERY surprised how their cheapest option performed...

Only complaint from me is that the illuminated reticle is like Kamala Harris........not very bright

@randalloc 3 ай бұрын

the reticle was never designed for daylight illumination but low light use or on a dark target background

I very much appreciate this. Ordered a LH-4 because I like low profile turrets. I really regretted not getting the Japanese glass and positive turrets. You put my mind to ease that i got the right one for myself.

I had a nightforce NX8. It was definitely nicer, but I kept putting it up next to my EP5 I had on a elr .22 setup. I can't justify $2000 on NF when optics like these exist. I have an EP5, SH4, and EPL now. I put these on par with the best scopes 15 years ago. That's good enough for what I want. If it breaks, I won't cry over $300. I'll just buy another one.

Tiborasaurus rex and winning in the wind talk about that type of error in tracking. The erector can stick. it's good to dial past the mil maek you want and then dial back to it. I uavent had tgat problwm on my 6-24x sh4j or my lh 6-24x, both vpr. I agree, to me the vpr is the only way to go. Nice review, this is the first video of yours I've seen . Ill be subscribing. I plan on using the lh on a 22 arc for prairie dogs, i have one on a 300 Hamr pig gun also. Until i can afford a thermal that is, lol. Edit: I already was subscribed, damn, i must need some ginko biloba!

Email Arken and see if they can send you 4 EPL's to reshoot and see if it's a one-off anomaly or an issue ... they might do it.. to answer the question

Just got my EPL 4 6x 24x 50mm and love it. Better than the $1000 Vortex Viper PST gen 2 5x 25x 50mm that was too heavy and had horrible glass. I'll be an Arken customer forever now. This is my second Arken scope. No regrets!

Hi I'm shooting a high-powered pellet rifle. Realistically most of the time I'm going to be shooting maximum 400 yards maybe 500 yards. In terms of a lightweight x-44 which model would you recommend and do you think having less elevation with the lightweight Scopes is going to be an issue at maximum 500 yards shooting. I'm not a hunter I'm a Target shooter / Marksmanship

@ADudeAndSomeGuns Ай бұрын

I’m not really sure how much elevation you’d need for a pellet gun, and at those distances. I’d imagine you want max elevation…

Whitch one is lighter weight Epl or Lh in the 4 16x44

@JDsModernMartialArts 15 күн бұрын

Lh is lighter and won't lose any tightening screws on the elevation turret like my Epl kept doing. I like the scopes tho.

Website shows the epl4 is lighter than lh4, trying to see if that's true

They need a locking turret

@ADudeAndSomeGuns Ай бұрын

Would be nice, I imagine they're priced the way they are because they lack certain features like that.

Why l'll never use the Arken SH4 Gen 2 4-16x50mm scope. KZbin The Social regressive. Scroll forward to the 12-minute mark. Perhaps the Japanese glass is better? He returned one of his Scopes and they gave him another one it was a little bit better but still not usable. Have you noticed any problems shooting in bright sunlight chromatic aberration?
