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

[Im2bent]

Credit to Arken for quick communication.

I first inquired as too any physical, mechanical, or material differences between the US and AUS EP-5 7-35 and received the following reply.

I then asked for clarification on if the material differences mentioned were between Arken US and Arken AUS scopes or if that statement was in reference to competitor offerings.

Honestly, not the answer I had expected. After this exchange, I’m having a very difficult time reconciling what has been articulated in this thread.

Sounds like they are being deliberately obtuse. Notice nothing mentioned about the glass. Just some blather about " tolerances".

Seeing as you have him talking ask him about the glass in particular and where it’s sourced for both and if it’s the same.

Exactly. No reason to not being transparent, unless there is.

The continuing search for “just as good” glass.

Ask Specifically to comment on the GLASS used in the Aus versus US version.

Interesting as the info my dealer has from Arken ( China) is that the coming Arken/DNT scopes will exceed ( Optically ) the samples i currently have.. The ones used in this thread..

Response when asked if the glass in the US and AUS models was sourced from the same manufacturer, applied the same coatings, and of the same quality.

Still might organise to get one of the Existing Arkens to you .....almost worth it for the curiosity factor!

If you do, before you send it, compare it to your's to know if it's a fluke, or if the glass is just as sharp and clear as your current one.

If that's the case, I might get you to wait, and send one of those new "Super Arken" 7-35x with that cool Australian reticle when yall get them...

They are incorrect on the FDE option.
They are most definitely available.
I have 2 FDE arriving in about a week..

 

[seafury]

Any rumors of FDE 7-35’s coming to the US?
