CA is objectionable. It will be more apparent with the higher magnifications. The SH line has a little bit of CA to it, and the EP line has even less. The lenses and coatings are better in the EP line.

Make sure the zero stop set and lock screws are loose. Bore sight the rifle, and establish your rifle zero with the turrets. Lock the turret in place with the 0 on it's mark. Then click up 3-4 clicks, and set the zero stop set screw. Screw it in until it touches the base. Back that screw out 1/2 turn, the lock it in place with the lock screw. You can then set your turret with the zero stop on 0. You should be good to go!

The optics all start at 1x. There is a 1-6x LPVO in the works now, and will hopefully be released soon. There should be more coming later on too.

Throw levers have been shipping like crazy. You should be getting yours soon, if you haven't already.

Arken has parted ways with PayPal, due to their stance on the 2nd Amendment!!

That's awesome! Yeah, I have sold all of my "other" brand scopes. We are an Arken household now!!

Not that I have heard anything about.

Yes, either one will work, no doubt. The EPL4 will have a better image, as it has the Japanese ELD glass, as opposed to the Chinese HD glass.

Depends on who you talk too, as to whether they are the same, or different. They are both Extra Low Dispersion glass. Me personally, I prefer the EP5 over the EPL4 that I have. They are both awesome, but I really like the EP5 characteristics. You won't go wrong with either.

You can go ahead and place the order. If there is something wrong, the customer service team will help you get it squared away, quick!

Arken Optics is now open for dealer requests. You will need to reach out to a guy by the name of James Mason. James will be approving all dealer requests. https://arkendealers.com

Check out the website! They are now offering Arken Optics shirts!!

Cut and paste from the Arken Customer Service... It is possible it wasn't centered from the factory. Count your total clicks of your windage, and then take that number and divide by 2. Take that number, and count back from either the left or right limit. Then take the turret completely off and reinstall it back to zero. Then zero your rifle again, that should fix the issue.

I do not have any coatings information on any of them. But the coatings are good though, through all of the Akren Optics riflescopes.

It depends on who you talk too, as to whether there is any difference between the ED and ELD glass. Both carry the "Extra Low Dispersion" description. However, the ED glass is superior to the HD glass. The image is brighter and can focus better. My eyes like both, but I prefer the ED glass over HD.

I haven't heard anything in a while now. It may be getting released during SHOT. Stay tuned to the website for more details.

If you take care to stretch the rubber in an up and down (like putting on socks) fashion, versus twisting, you can install the ocular cap without twisting. Give it a try!

Arken Optics is not allowed to ship outside the US due to the ITAR regulations. You will need to source your items from an individual or international dealer.

It may or may not matter. If you happen to have a scope that got out of the factory without a mechanical zero, you might be hindered in getting a good zero, and may not have the travel in either the elevation or windage. I would double check it if I were you. Never hurts to double check.
