I have looked through Swarovski and one other high-end scope, and the optical quality of those examples was unmistakable. In my post I said that the glass seems fantastic to MY eye.but I don't own any high end glass. So your point is that some scopes made by big name optics companies are overpriced crap and the price is based on the optics companies advertising budget? I will be doing a box test at some point this week, and I will update.Īll in all, so far so good, and I'm glad Arken got into the scope business. Setting 4 is about perfect, and I liked that the illumination switched off between the illumination intensity settings. The illumination is not daylight bright (again-oh well)-but there are 3 workable settings at dusk. The focus coincides with the correct parallax adjustment-good enough for my purposes. It is actually surprisingly far off, not even close-but I don't particularly care about that. At 200 and 300 yards my parallax does not align with the yardage indicated. My parallax did not adjust/focus to 25 yards at 25X magnification. Went to the 100, figured calculated the drop from a 25 yard zero, and was within 3 clicks.įor the haters-yes, the scope does have fails. When I sighted in at 25 yards I just shot once, milled the correction, dialed, and nailed it. The glass seems fantastic to my eye, even at 25X magnification-but I don't own any high-end glass, the best scope I have owned previously was the Primary Arms GLX 6-24-which I also think is an excellent scope at the price point I bought it at-$550. So far I haven't seen anything that disappoints or surprises me. But it's an awesome scope if your budget is $550. Personally, I'd say this is a hell of a lot of scope for $550, including mount, caps, throw lever, etc. I have followed the Arken threads, discounted both the hype and the doomers/nay-sayers, and bought based on specs, warranty, and price. I had ordered the evening of December 21.
