Every review of this scope I can find is done with an air rifle or a .22 LR. Is this scope suitable for .223, .308, 330blk?

How long does it take to get a reply from customer service by email? placed a order yesterday and need to talk to someone about it. Don Pennington

Looking at the day/night scope. Will the range finder be an add on at a later date?

Looking at the epl4 6-24x50 in the Mil vpr. I have a savage arms mdx chassis 6.5 PRC, could I mix the moa ridgid mount to it, also would 0 moa be good or the minus 20 moa? The savage has a rail on it. Or would rings be better, this is my first fancy gun, I've only ever had just basic prior. Thank yo

I just received my EP5 today. The turret knob for the illumination is stuck and will not rotate in either direction with or without the battery installed. Any suggestions?

Had my ep-8 for a while. I real;ly like it, Still no reticle subtensions? geez louise. With no reticle subtensions I thought if I would use the KL reticle to see how it does. Im 5-11 200lb. I cut some cardboard the size of my torso and placed them at 4 5 and 600 yards. the reticle workesd quit

Apologies in advance but can I reverse the cantilever scope mount. When I have the scope mounted on my M1A, the eye relief is not great. If I turn it around, I won't have to jam in my eye so close. Or, should I just get scope rings to move the scope back. Thanks.

Hey does anyone have any word about wether the current batch of ep8s are shipping with a manual and flip it lens covers? From what I understood that the first scopes out were shipped without due to backlog but expected to get the flip its and manual at a later time. Any info would be greatly appreci

I'm having a problem getting my head wraped around the KL Box reticle. I didn't see a link for EP8 manual (scope not purched yet). Does anyone know where I can find a " monkey see,mokey do" type diagram? For the Arken boys: Any plans for an MRAD reticle and turrets for the EP8? While not necessa

I just mounted an EP5 over the weekend and couldn't get it to go far enough left to get zero. I mounted an SH4 to my short range hunting rifle and had no problems with this at all. I read a older post on here about a similar issue with the EP5 and was wondering if anyone had run into this with their

Just mounted a new Arlen. Was wondering if the community had a recommendation for a ballistic calculator. Thanks.

So which one do you choose and why? It all depends on what you are use to and familiar with honestly. MIL is 3.6" @ 100 yards and MOA is 1.047" @ 100 yards. That would make the MIL a coarse drive ratchet and the MOA a fine drive ratchet in layman's terms. When you break down individual clicks that w

Ordered a Zulus Optic today, this will be my 3rd Arken! Love my LPVO and my EP5 5-25x56! My son took this deer with the EP5 & dropped it @100 yrd with my hand loaded Berger 140 VLD rounds!

Does or did Arken make a 3-15 or 3-18 scope

Just received my EP-8, love almost everything about it. The only thing I would change is make the illumintation a button click style with auto off after 8 hours or so. hint. hint. Other than that no complaints whatsoever.

I could not find a search feature, so if you know of a post already answering this, I would appreciate a link. I am a hunter that yearly will take a class that goes out to 400 yards. Hunting is in KY and my shots are typically 100 yards and in. I am looking at the EPL-4 4-16x44 FFP Illuminated Re

Trigger time @ 300 yards with my DPMS AR10 w/ ARKEN 6-24x50 scope.

Arken I absolutely love your scopes and would love to convert all my rifles over to Arken scopes. Do you think you will ever make a 2nd focal plane reticle?

Purchased an EPL4 4-16x44 for shooting NRA RF Classic Auto competitions. I also shoot Ultimate Sporter with a Leupold Mark 5HD. Its a nice scope but this Arken is actually better, the rectile has very fine lines which is needed for this type of competition.

Ok all, so this is what i got from the manual. Depending on the ammo you use and its grain, you have a standard value they used to plaot the reticle BDC. For this questions, lets use a 62 grain green tip. That means it can use the reticle for 600 and 800. According to the manual, the standard v

Hi all so I was so happy and excited about my new ep-5 until I got my new howa 1500 and mdt xrs and built my gun and then after 20 shots of breaking my barrel in and I get this. All the black stickers are shots from the Arken and then I thought something wasn't right so put my HIKMICRO night vision

I am needing advice on how to connect Arken optics. The phone number on here website doesn't work. I get no response on there information email listed on the website. Any help would be appreciated

Love it on my 6.5 Creedmoor Ruger Talo!!!! Great scope bought for my AR-15 as well been shooting out to 200 yards as far as my local range goes with very tight groups!!!! Arken you rock!!!!

So I'm thinking of changing my ELP4 6-25 MOA in for athe new SH4J, mainly because of course now it offers the Japanese glass, but also for the extended parallax adjustment and the VPR reticle. So my question(s) are for those who actually have been able to compare the two (mostly the Arken Admin) bec

The banner has listed a 9+ week lead time for a little while now. Has anyone heard if that is still accurate? RP
