I have some on order. I’m hoping they updated the turrets a bit. Some of the gen 1’s tend to have somewhat “skippy” turrets for lack of a better word.

I hope so as well. I have three ep5's and one of them feels loose (skippy) as you say. Not much resistance between each click. I like for them to be as tight as a lid on a pickle jar 😆

Arken EP5 7- 35 .. Standing in for some Alpha Glass

Over time i have had more than my fair share of expensive Alpha/Top Tier Glass fail ... Just recently i had 2 current Top Tier optics on 2 of my Desert Tech,s go down. While still waiting for this to be resolved i decided to go the complete other end of the scale...yep....."Cheap" China...

I have my shipping notice with delivery for tomorrow, 8/8. I wouldn't be able to test it on a tall target test till September because my range is closed for maintenance. I will get to look through it and compare to my EP5 5-25. My EP5 tall target test at 40 MOA up it was about .25 inches high. That was an error of .59% I can live with it!

Mountain Mullets Merica video review for you guys


I just clicked through a bit w/out watching, but didn't see anything surprising. No tunneling, significant CA, shorter DOF

My new 7-35 showed up yesterday so today i have removed my 5-25 arken and put the 7-35 in the same mounts. I have zero’d it to the same point of aim of my red dot bore sighter. I won’t have a chance to zero it with real ammo till September when my local range opens. That is also when i will do a tall target test.

Here are a few observations:

1 I could position the eye piece at relatively the same point all of my scopes are set up to. This is my fclass gun so being prone and having the eye piece in the same position is a big win for me

2. But 1 changed up where i put my scope level. Without moving the mounts i had to put it forward of the front ring. Good news there was plenty of real estate up there.

3. I leveled everything thing to my bolt raceway and all seemed good. Now i was ready to get a bore sight and look around. The 7-35 bore sighted to within the same moa up from being all the way to the down stop. Then i turned the scope onto houses across the street, about 75 yards. Having the bubble level level the reticle held the vertical side of a house. So the reticle doesn’t seem rotated but truly level to the scope body.

4. Then i wanted to check focus and chromatic aberration. Unfortunately it is pretty cloudy so I didn’t get brilliant whites that bring out CA but I couldn’t detect much. About the same as my NXS 8-32 scope. I did focus on the shingles on the roof and moved the shingle to the edge. I could still see the “sand” on the surface in focus so it has a pretty flat field. All of this was done at 35x

Right now i am thinking this is the bargain of the century. When i can shake it out more i will give updates
