Arken EP4 or EP5

EP5 just came out and nobody has them yet.

FWIW, they are considered tactical scopes, not really designed for hunting although could certainly be used for it. I'd prefer something else though if I was using it for hunting. Something with a smaller objective and a hunting reticle would be better suited.
 
@Twistid, I’ve hunted with superlite Tikkas and heavy guns, all the like. I hear a lot of folks talk about the weight. I don’t mind a heavy gun. Is there something else that needs to be considered other than it’s just added weight? What am I missing?
 
My older EP4 4-16 has been great! Feature for feature, it is as good or better than my PST G2 3-15, or even my 5-25.

The EP4 glass is a major improvement over the PST. The zero stop feature is easy to set as well.

I now have one of the newer SH4 Gen2 4-16 models, and it is an awesome scope so far!

Does the EP4 have better glass than the SH4? I assume it would since the EP line has Japanese glass whereas the SH has Chinese
