Rifle Scopes Arken Light Weight Hunting version

I have an EP5 on my .22. These cheap ass Chinese scopes compare very favorably to 1980s Unertls, and S&Bs. The quality is tier 1 from 40 or 50 years ago. They’re perfect for .22s in the mid range of power at under 400 yards. I don’t know 🤷‍♂️ why you have to bag on them!

My bad, almost as good and just as good as other Japanese glass(Razors, Eotech and such).

Per your quotes:
I had them out all day for 2 days so i was able to see different lighting conditions. In cloudy overcast weather the difference between the two wasn't even that much at the magnifications I use.

When it got super bright my S&B looked a little better

I can't see CA in my S&B but can see a little with the arken when it was really bright.

Overall, I'm shocked how well this cheap optic performed. The turrets feel awesome, the eyebox is nice and the clarity looks just like japanese scopes that I've used including razors and an eotech 5-25 I had on the same rifle.

So does that mean it’s almost as good as Nightforce scopes as well.
Yes very similar to the Japanese glass mentioned. My only question is durability. Who knows how durable the Arken is. I’m going to run it for a while and see.

Shit, I'm still tryna wrap my head around the fact that guys are ok with having to use vibrator glue
On their optics. 🙄
I have tried it worked, so far. I have a few brands of scopes but only the Arken scopes that does this and I think it is a design issue. Other scopes hold reticles on by different means and achieve a zero stop by different means.
