Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics gonna be popular...

I ordered a coupla days ago. Hint.

I have better than a dozen of said reticle in 16x 34mm and it's Skookum. Gonna be tough to beat Athlon Gen2 2-12x mannerisms,with both locking turrets,10yd parralax,illumination and 35+ Mil's on the erector. I have them in double digits too. Hint..................

23.7 oz. Not bad.

Athlon's zero stop is superior. Locking both windage and elevation don't suck. Hint..................

I will get one. The non locking windage doesn’t matter since it’s capped. I do like the pop up style turret on the athlon. I just haven’t warmed up to it’s reticle but I haven’t spent much time with it either. 90% or more of the shots I take are with a MQ reticle and I guess that’s what I’m used to now. I would love nothing more than to see swfa make a few slight changes and I wouldn’t be looking anywhere else for a scope.

For anyone who has ordered one of these new models, is the Combo Pack worth the extra $40? I may need rings anyway, but was leaning toward the Burris signatures with inserts. Wonder how this will compare to a new to me Helos 2-12x that I really, really like so far.

yes

Yep. That's a 12oz saving vs. SH4. Refreshing to see a 30mm tube from Arken.

Chicom made scopes will never be popular with me!

It's simply a Global Economy and both Arken and Athlon shoot clean,on the who,what,when and where...while Burris,NightFarce,Reupold and the like do not. Hint.

Though I actually shoot,which GREATLY skews things. HINT.............

I hate China too and look for "Made in USA". Hunt around and you can find a video. Taken at the Shot show, one of Arken's main guys being interviewed about the then new EP 5-25 scopes. Arken has it's own manufacturing facility in China and gets ED lenses from Japan for that scope, they didn't just have some Chinese scope company making them. Those 5-25's are very nice to look through, also big honkers. Helluva deal at that price. I also have an SH 6-24 which I'm thinking has Chinese glass but is also a really nice scope, and a great deal at the current price. Now this new EPL series has Japanese ED glass and a Burris Signature - sized 30mm tube, at a very good price. Being a bit nicer size and with higher end glass than the SH scopes, they should be popular. I'm waiting on one. Great company to deal with....email them and get a response almost immediately.

Absolutely!!!

Everyone who competes in long range practical rifle, PRS, or simply wants the best optic to engage and put impacts on small targets waaaaay out there is using a $300 POS on their precision rifle.

LMFAO!

camuglia is the prototypical internet badasss. He's a 5'6" 145lb worm, but his mouth thinks he's 6'4" and 245. Talk about LMAO......!!!

Lol. Dreamer.

Symptoms of Napolean Complex...Little Man's Syndrome
The most obvious characteristic of Napoleon syndrome is the smaller height in male individuals. They are commonly perceived as aggressive, loud and talkative that require additional attention in order to attempt to prove themselves.

You were close you shriveled old fuggg. I’m 6’2” and 220. You’re close to me in west Texas. You want to meet for lunch and discuss it?

Are you cooking for him?

Yep, shriveled up to 6'2" and 240 at age 62. Bring some help, and a sack lunch, and your Blue Cross Blue Shield card.

Address?

Shoot me a PM when you get here. Give me plenty of time so I can get good and scared.
