Nice! Be sure to post up what you think. I know you have a lot of high-end scopes, so I hope you find them to be solid. If people who have top-tier glass think they're pretty nice, then those of us who can't afford the highest tier should be more than impressed. I hope...
I need you to get yours so you can give me honest opinion against the strike eagle. Not necessarily turret feel because they’re different designs, but glass clarity. I’m trying to find out if I should sell the strike eagle and buy one. Or keep it and buy one anyway.

As soon as it comes in, and I can get it mounted and taken to the range for zero... Then you'll have your review. 
I need to get out and zero some scopes.
Went to the range today, but conditions were absolute shit. Clear, but overcast until I got there, then the bottom fell out like a monsoon... Had to tote my guns and shit to the long range in the downpour. It sucked. So my mood was shot after that... So I didn't shoot much. It was so damn dark from 2:30-5 and pouring rain, humidity was so high you could see your breath, as if it was cold (it was 70º outside)... No scope would have looked worth a shit at 200 yards in those conditions. It was terrible. It's poured like that the last 2 Sundays, when I was going to go to the range. Last week I said hell no, but this week I was ready to go.
That was my main goal, but it was so rainy and wet, I didn't even walk out there to put up a few shoot-n-see's at the 100 for zero'ing. So instead I just shot a bunch of rounds "battle-zero" at 100 yards where they were hitting 5" plates @ 100 enough to be lethal if I needed them, but not 100% zero'd. Hopefully next week things will be clear, so I can actually zero them.

It performed fine, but nothing would have looked stellar in those conditions. I’m also enclosed in a big shooting booth/house area while shooting, so luckily we can still shoot on rainy days, just walking out to hang targets is pretty much out of the question, since you have to trudge through 100 yards of mud, there and back.
Just out of curiosity, when did you place your order? If you dont mind my asking.Mine is being delivered today, unfortunately I'm out of state so won't be able to get hands on for a while. Kind of funny I made the first cut but won't even be able to try it out
While y'all are buying up the EP5's, I'm waiting here with my credit card hoping Arken starts dumping the SH4's CHEAP!
Maybe. Mine said today also but when looking at the update it is en route from MD to VA as of 6:02PM.Mine is being delivered today, unfortunately I'm out of state so won't be able to get hands on for a while. Kind of funny I made the first cut but won't even be able to try it out
Just received my order has shipped email today with tracking..Maybe. Mine said today also but when looking at the update it is en route from MD to VA as of 6:02PM.
I’ve gotten these updates, just like the one saying today “by 9pm” for 3 days in a row, each day just changing the day. Finally shows up. I bought the “Plus” tracking and now I have more details…at least I might
It is the government.
...Arken website still listing SH 4 Gen II's at $449 & $399 as of 2 minutes ago...
The SH4 Gen2 4-16x50 is $399 normally, and with the $100 off code it made them $299. The 6-24x50 was $449, so $349 with the code.
...the #GoBrandon code is no longer valid, based on test I just ran...
I'm well aware, it ended on 12/31. But you can still do the SAVE$170 code and get the Precision pack and rings for free.
I instantly went to the website and was going to order one. Lol
Looks REALLY clear... I'm super excited. I hope mine ships soon!
(LPVO) 1-10x30 with the 34mm tube, 10 MIL turrets, ZS, Illum. reticle, and the ED glass. But I'd like to see locking turrets that pop up like the Strike Eagle, that way on an AR, or in a critical situation, they don't get bumped around and moved. I'd pay $499 for that.Initially I responded that it was “Same it seems”.
Do you run low rings on your AR’s ?Looks REALLY clear... I'm super excited. I hope mine ships soon!
I do wish they they would offer the ED glass in the SH4 Gen2 with the 50mm objective. I'd even pay a $50 upcharge to $499 MSRP. I know everyone is shifting to 56's these days as the new hotness in the optics world (old recycled trend from 20 years ago), but for AR's and other chassis style rifles with full top rails, shrouds, and handguards, the 50mm objective really is the best option, and still allows full light transmission and brightness and FOV with high-quality glass and lenses.
I also still want to see an "EPVO"
I don't run rings on my AR's... I run 1-piece mounts. But, on a rifle like the Sig Cross, or Ruger Precision Rifle, or something like that (bolt-action) with a chassis on it, I'd be running Seekins rings, and not a 1-piece AR mount.
Same I just mean the height which seems to be what you were referring to. Anyway, 1.26” height works fine on AR
Yes, because I can span them out to the ends of the tube, as far apart as possible, which helps to alleviate wiggle under recoil, and it also strengthens the scope spreading weight and pressure to the weakest points on the tube. The closer your mount your rings to the turrets, the more your eye and objective bell will wiggle under recoil. It's not noticeable to the naked eye, it has to be seen with slow-motion, but it happens, and the farther apart you mount your rings, the more rigid your scope tube will be, and the stronger that mounting will be, because it makes the tube and scope itself significantly more rigid. That's one reason I'm not a big fan on most AR mounts, becsaue they are too close together towards the turrets, and not spread far enough apart on the tube, IMO.
couldn't agree more, 56 is too much and creates issuesLooks REALLY clear... I'm super excited. I hope mine ships soon!
