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

[Makinchips208]

Today at work a coworker told me about this new scope company called Arken.
He said “on sale for $399. They are so awesome and are every bit as good as the expensive scopes.”
I said “I don’t believe that.”
Then he told me he saw the YouTuber say so in a video. And the YouTuber also had a discount on em.
So I called the YouTuber a shill.

Am I wrong?

Oh boy... Where to begin... Which YouTube shill was it? Was it Tardasaurus Rex, One-Eyed Willie, mullet dude, or Hackfire?

Also, if you're curious... Skip the Arken altogether, and just get the new DNT 7-35x56 TOR... I've had 5 Arkens, and won't buy another one. I would absolutely buy another one of these DNT scope for $600, and several other unbiased guys on here who, were skeptical like me and also have high-end glass, agree with that assessment. Like @Rob01 and even @Lowlight says it impressed him for the price.

Sadly enough I have now had two Arken EP-5's in my possession and neither one are gonna make the cut. Never even mounted them onto a rifle because I was extremely skeptical and turns out that my suspicions are true. I will be sending this back in an attempt to get my $$$ back and buy something a little farther up the food chain.

I’m sure they are acceptable for the price. Then again I kinda hate that statement sometimes. Sometimes people sayin “for the price” is justification for it being junk.

I’ve had several scope failures in my short life, not life threatening, but annoying. So now i only have reliable scopes that cost a bit more than $399.

Based on what some of y’all are saying I’m not against considering a dnt, IF i could try before i buy. I’m sure they are good for the price.

The DNT is decent optic... even in context to optics costing much much more!!!
