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 turret screws I gorrilla'd. That was a timely shipment that helped make this a win.

What more can be said about a product than, "I just bought my second."? This replaces a beloved SWFA FFP 16X40 It on top of my beloved Howa 1500

My new GenII replaced a well worn, well known 20 year old SWFA SS 10X40. But then I bought a Howa Rimfire and started shooting competition. The GenII mounted is possibly the biggest part of my rifle. I had to trade my Weaver mounts for a Pic to use the silky-sexy rings that I ordered with the scope. Normally I use Weaver Tactical (tactic00l!1!1!1!1! - woot -. Lol) 6 screw, but the OEMs were Beau.Ti.Ful My groups sucked. The fell from competition precision to out of the box good. This is a rifle that has 6000 rounds through it, all .22lr subsonic. WTH?!? ACTION TUNING. I had to step back 10,000 feet to see it. So I went out this morning and want scream:. I NOW LOVE THIS SCOPE! It took two weeks to overcome my bias and discover the real issue, but... 50 yards outdoor Light Variable Breeze Howa 1100, front bipod rear bag SK Rifle Match Pics: Where We Started, then After tuning Where We Are Then: DOPE is good at 75 Then: DOPE is good at 100 Then: Ringing those gongs at 200 20/20. Even over that grass.

BEAUTIFUL RINGS. Kudos. <blog post> I am a creature of habit and have 7 SWFAs on Weaver 6 screw rings. One was on the rig I bought the Arken for. It's one of my oldest and the reticle is just yuge. Rex gave you a great review so here I am. I didn't think about the fact that my bases were Weaver and my first inclination was to get a set of 34mm Weaver 6 screws and return your rings. After close inspection I find your rings to be of exceptional fit and finish. I wound up not buying Weaver rings, but a Pic rail for my rifle. Again, KUDOS. Now the criticism. With all the emphasis on proper torque, instead of providing a Torx wrench you should provide a Torx bit that will fit our torque wrenches/drivers. I had a T25 (T27?) bit but I had to DIG for it. AND, with the wrench, new shooters may unknowingly damage their new optic. Zero rounds under the new scope, but if they perform as well as they look and fit, I'll be back to send more praise.
