This thread is reaching levels of absurdity previously thought to be unobtainable.
I now have several hours behind the Arken 7-35 in various lighting and environmental conditions. In bright sunlight with minimal mirage the glass performs quite well but does fall off rather quickly in more challenging conditions. Eye box is better than first reported and tracking has been spot on through 13 mils. There is a very minimal feel of “wobble” when spinning the turrets that is not present once dialed. All in all I have no complaints for the cost and would purchase another if it fit my needs and target budget.
The comparison to top tier glass is not a fair one despite what is being voiced. Moving from the Arken to anything in the upper echelon is immediately apparent; especially in eye comfort.
In direct comparison with the Bushnell Match Pro ED, all 5 of us felt they were very close with a slight edge in resolution, clarity, and brightness going to the MPED. The consensus amongst our group came down to cost - the Arken if saving a couple hundred and the MPED if at the same price point.
@wooferocau, I’ve been giving you the benefit of the doubt. At this point if you do not have a financial interest in Arken/DNT, I have to believe you are continuing a masterful trolling.
