Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics Arken?

Anyone have them and your opinion. MTG

Have a pair of SH 4-16's, pair of EPL 6-24's, pair of EPL 4-16's, Pair of LH 4-16's. And one of their NV scopes. I like ALL of these.......

Here's a pic of an LH 4-16 on a 17 hummer from yesterday....

I have a LH4 4-16 on my 6ARC. Like it enough I ordered another.

EP-4 4-16 on a 5.56 bolt gun.
EPL 4-16 on a 22-250.

mechanically excellent glass is okay but still good for the $$

I recently picked up the LH-4 6-24x50. It's mounted on an AR-10 in a 20-moa base. To me it seems like a good value for the money. I cannot really complain about anything so far.

I've better than 20 of 'em now,including the NV with LRF and the 1-8x. Hint.

My $2000 Reupold MK5 HD and $1000 Reupold MK 4 HD,couldn't even BEGIN to keep mechanical pace with ANY Barkin' Arken. I favor the 4-16's and have all versions in Mil/Mil. Hint.

Rings/mounts are killer too. Hint.

Just sayin'..............

made in china

Put a NIB Reupold MK4 HD 2.5-10x Mil/Mil FFP on a 1-8" Teeker 223,yesterday,that does nice things with Lapooey,400's,Lever' and 75 ELD Smooches(CTR mags). Hint.




It went from that,to these 3-shot "groups",with same Lot of ammo,with the Reupold. Hint.




Plenty of rice in Reupold,but no meat. Hint.



In fairness,the Reupold was fhuqking dismal at 50yds on my Bart' barreled Vudoo. First (3) shots,after an erector dump and return to it's zero stop,in piss flat weather. Hint.




Pardon wares that exist. Hint.

Just sayin'....................

So, made in China and works is worse than made in American and doesn't work?

Help me understand.

That's what I'm thinking! Gonna have to check out those "Barkin Arkens".

Is it being shipped back to Leupold?

big stick uses leupolds as lapping bars, for lapping rings. but I am curious why if he thinks the scopes sucks that they would even be suitable even as lapping bars.

I can only speak for the EPL-4's. But I have no complaints. Have shot them on AR's and bolt guns. So for so good.

Anyone actually tested these things on a scope checker? ?

Any opinions on the EPL-4 vs Athlon Helos btr 2-12?

China is an enemy. I've stopped supporting the CCP whenever possible. I wish more Americans would do the same.

I actually had some PM's with stick on that very question.

basically his response he preferred for killing stuff the athlon. fun and range Arken . my particular question was going on a fast twist 22-250 also..

What's a scope checker?

If you're really serious you'll turn in your vehicles, computers, and cell phones. I don't think anyone is really that serious, but it pretends to make a good argument.

correct, but if you can choose other products why not? china doesn't have a reputation for reliable and precision optics
