    MIL vs. MOA?

    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

    Zero problems

    I just mounted the EP-5. Everything looked right. I then went to the range and bore sighted it. The reticle was so far off that even when I adjusted it to the max it was still way off. Any ideas?

    Decided to upgrade my 30-year-old Savage 7MM Rem Mag.

    I haven't used this rifle in about 20 years. I decided I wanted to put it back into the rotation and installed a new EGW Pic rail and Arken SH4 Gen2 4-16x50 MOA and Arken rings. The rifle is shooting phenomenally.

    Arken SH4GENII 4-16X50 0.92 rings

    I installed this combo on my M1a. The mount used is a new version of the 4 point UTG aluminum mount. There's minimal clearance between the scope and the rail. .020 but clearance is clearance. Everything looks promising. I can't wait to get some range time ang put this scope through the numbers... De

    Question on Loctite

    Hi guys and gals. I will be mounting an EP5 (if/when it comes...lol) with the Arken Rigid Precision scope mount. Two questions on mounting: Should I loctite the mount? If so, I am thinking purple loctite. The EP5 will be dedicated to my LR308 so no worries about moving it back and forth between r

    Scope mount adapter?

    I got ready to mount my new Arken 4-16 x50 scope on my CZ 527 today upon I remembered CZ has a 19mm base for the scope rings to attach to. The Arken scope rings are picatinny or 20mm. Is there an adapter from 19mm to 20mm.

    -4°F For This Morning's Challenge

    Well done Arken! SH-4 GENII on my Bergara. I'd only had time to put ~100 rounds of SK through her on an indoor range prior to the event but everything held true in the bitter cold this morning. Was hoping for podium, but we took it all. Glad I have you topping my rifle, and thank you for the turr

    1-6 FFP?

    I heard Arken was working a 1-6. Is there any time frame Or specs? I would wait for up to a year to get an Arken 1-6 as long as it was FFP.

    SH4 6-24X50 GEN2 FFP MOA -- difference

    I bought one and liked it so much that I ordered another a week later. Both identical models but, one scope is marked as minimum focus at 25 yards, while the second scope I purchased is marked to 20 yards. The scope is great, and I'm not complaining; just curious.

    SH4 on 50 BMG

    I recently mounted a new SH4 4-16 on my Serbu BFG-50. I purchased 2 sets of the low rings, but only 3 of the rings will fit on the Serbu's rail. Should I look for a different solution, or just send it? Thanks!

    ARKEN Customer Service is awesome

    I ordered an SH4 GenII - 4x16 scope a few weeks ago, and received it very quickly. Then I made the discovery that I had ordered scope rings that were too low for my rifle. The lever around the magnification ring would rub against the picatinny rail. Ordering the wrong rings was entirely my mistake

    LH bolt for RT handed shooter?

    Is it easier to stay in the scope and cycle the bolt for a follow up shot with a LH bolt as a RH shooter? Especially if using holdover subtentions.

    CAN'T SEE RETICLE

    Got my EP-4 6-24x50 scope in yesterday, only problem is that the center dot on the reticle is so small on the 6-12 power level that I can't even see it, I have other FFP scopes and don't have any problem seeing the reticle, glass is super clear but not the reticle, was really excited when I first or
