Cancel your order!! Notice if you will how many of these scopes are never even mounted but are for sale "NEW IN BOX" These scopes are not worth the money or waiting for. The "EYE BOX" is all but non existent. There's a "halo around the sight picture as well as a blue tint to the entire picture. The reason so many are"BRAND NEW NEVER MOUNTED" is because the seller took it out of the box, took a look through the scope and put it up for sale.
So after I posted my message, I received an reply from Arken informing me that they're getting in small batches and that they're turning them around as quickly as they can. They also mentioned that they're caught up to orders from around mid-March. Today, I just got an email that my order shipped! Even though the order did not turn around as quickly as I would have liked, I commend their transparency and I hope that their scope is as good as their customer service!
There is a difference between lip service and customer service. They'll keep you on the hook and WILL get you a scope that if you shoot ELD or even close range you will find that you will time out before you can regain your sight picture. The one I bought is now on my grandson's .22. SH-4 GEN II. Save your money and get a real optic. Night Force 1-8X24, Leupold and Vortex scopes are on all my comp and hunting rifles.
I ordered mine april 16. I've emailed them on may 10th and this is what it said
"We are supposed to get a large batch in within a couple weeks that will get us into April orders but the exact numbers are not clear. Thank you for your patience"
Good luck, it took me 3 months to get mine. Found out from a very reliable person that the reason for the delay was that they were waiting for the scopes to come in from China and then still have to clear customs, the only good news is that they use Japanese glass. However it's not the same quality of glass that you find in a Stiener or a Night Force or even a Vortex.
Just to let you know that I got a reply from dickrat243 to let me know that they just got in a large shipment. I don't have a scope on order with them (and never will). Really?? They obviously don't read their post or they would know that I wasn't asking about shipping. Robo reply.
Latest update that I know about, all of the Arken Optics scope lines are in stock. Everyone should be getting their scopes pretty quick.

Last I heard on the EP5, they were 6-8 weeks out. But, that's been about 2 weeks ago.
I ordered my March 22, and I just emailed them asking for an update.
