I'm looking forward to getting a few of these soon.

I ordered one but it hasn’t shipped yet.

Pardon me - this is the one I’ve got coming.

Are these made in China?

I'm about 110% sure they are

That’s my disappointing understanding as well. That feature/$ ratio tho!

Of course...but MOA is funnier than fhuqk. Hint.



Fhuqking LAUGHING!.............

It might not be obvious to you but you don't have the one I'm asking about.....

Mil vs MOA not being relevant in the question but I was surprised it took an hour to get you to bite.
I almost reeled in and changed bait.
Some fish are pretty easy to catch....and some will hit again and again

Bite #1

Fhuqktard...I ordered day of. Hint.

I enjoy that you "think" your Magnificent STUPIDITY,is a fhuqking "choice"...you "lucky" kchunt. Hint.

What were the "odds" of you thinking about me 24/7?!? Hint.

Fhuqking LAUGHING!...............

Bite #2

Yep

I'm looking real hard at one of these as well. I just bought an Athlon helos btr G2 2-12 for one of my rifles. I like it a lot. I have new Tikka 308 coming and need a scope for it. Thought I might try the arken on that one. Decisions, decisions. It looks like arken scopes are getting good reviews. It looks like a lot of bang for the buck.

My 6-24 came last week. Very nice scope with Jap ED glass. Arken has it's own manufacturing facility in China, don't know how that came to be, but it's an American scope from China. This thing has very positive clicks and I've compared it to a Sightron, if anything it's a bit better optically. Also with a 30mm tube and smaller knobs it's noticeably lighter and less large than the SH 6-24. It hits way above it's price point. I'll be ordering another.

I've got a 4-16 mil ordered.

Supposed to be 4 coming my way. If the slow boat from China ever docks.....

Well after reading your report, I have one on order now too. (epl4-4-16x44-ffp-mil-vhr)
I figure at the price they are selling for they are worth a try.

Which scope between Arken and Athlon has the better glass? I have a Athlon on order but it hasn't arrived yet.

They might well be awesome scopes, but this line struck me as being funny.

During an video interview at the shot show, one of the principals of Arken mentioned them having their own manufacturing facility in China. Email them and ask to explain.

I'm not refuting your assertion on where they're made, but being as they're substantially sourced from and assembled in China, I'd say that they're more of a Chinese scope in America.

Not that it matters at all as far as how good they are. Like I stated, just struck me as a bit of humorous oxymoronica.

Can someone please play fetch with a child using this scope as a stick! I need to know how durable it is.

congrats on being the lowest common denominator.

Haha 😂

Life on the rez ain’t never not funny!!

Why does he have so much closet space? Mine is full of 👠shoes!

Some folks know how to treat/keep a woman around. Copious amounts of cheap glass speaks volumes!👊🏻😂

Some guys can’t spot a Laos and suffer paying for mistakes that hey didn’t /spot/make. Nothing like a sugar tits to suckle.

Athlon and Arken are sure to not leave slack on the rope.

Haha fuuck that’s funny😂😂

It’s actually sad.

Hey, when’s all you got, gotta run it!😂

Those used to be all Leupold boxes.........

The 6'ers showed up today. Still no word on the 4-16's......

Those look great! I just ordered a 4-16 today myself.

Order a 4-16 in November. Emailed them a couple days ago and they answered back that they are expecting the 4-16 to arrive in 4-6 weeks.

I’m small fish. Got one 4-16 on order for my RRA. Ordered mine a while back too.

Those will probably work great, until they don’t. Then the Stick and Reupole Haters will be all over them like a pack of dogs on a 3-legged cat. 🤣🤣🤣
