It has the set screw in the top of the turret you run down after you have slipped your turret..With 32 mils you should be able to get close to a 60 MOA base but how does the zero stop work on them?
Then shouldn't be a reason to try and not use the zero stop with a 40+ moa base unless you just want more elevation?It has the set screw in the top of the turret you run down after you have slipped your turret..
I do, I want to stretch it this summer. There’s a benefit shoot it has a mile and a 2250 yard target. I’m going for it with a Arken, just to prove to myself either it can be done or not. I have a 20 moa base and some Burris XTR rings coming. 338 lapuaThen shouldn't be a reason to try and not use the zero stop with a 40+ moa base unless you just want more elevation?
With the way they all act, that's exactly what it seems like. As if this $550 scope is going to some how make their $5K scope less valuable.They don’t want anyone in the club if they didn’t spend 2k$.
Can't wait to see that video or pics. I'd also like to see how a 2,250 yd target looks through the EP5 and SH4 comparatively.I do, I want to stretch it this summer.

But with the way the zero stop works it doesn’t matter. That’s where you’re losing me. You want to get the farthest range then great but when you set the zero stop after zeroing then it’s not the problem but how much elevation is in the scope is. So with 32 mils you should be able to use an easy 50 moa and still get 100 yard zero but if wanting to dial farther you can use more and zero farther. Or just use the reticle when you run out of elevation.I do, I want to stretch it this summer. There’s a benefit shoot it has a mile and a 2250 yard target.

Exactly. But the way they all bitch about a budget scope every chance they get, harass those who own them, and bash the threads and mock people who buy them, you'd think they were...Come on man nobody is worried this is going to devalue their nightforce
@DangerRanger Hey, you laugh, but that's the way these people act... They come in the Arken threads bashing away at a budget scope, while they're sitting on a safe full of S&B's and NF, as if this budget scope is somehow affecting their lives.![]()

It's kind of like the kid who was a bully to others, because he was really just self-conscious about himself, so he tried to belittle and mistreat everyone else, to make himself feel more important. Those are the type of people who enjoy going around and shitting on everyone who has lesser equipment than them. And this place seems to be a magnet for them.
To be fair it wasn't the haters that started comparing a $500 scope to a $3000 one.@DangerRanger Hey, you laugh, but that's the way these people act...

I want my mile dope which is about 19mils to be right in the middle of the lenses where it’s most clear.But with the way the zero stop works it doesn’t matter. That’s where you’re losing me.

Sounds good to me, I know that the glass will be limited so I need to give it the best chance. LolShould be close with a 50 MOA base/ring combo. Even if not direct center it will be close enough. That's about 14.5 mils so should put you close to bottom with a little room to play in the 32 mil scope.
That is very true Mike.The world is full of them because people don't get punched in the face for being an asshole.
Well, shills will be shills... But at the same time, a lot of times people were comparing it in other ways than glass, to other nicer scopes, and then folks got all pissy and started throwing accusations around, and putting words in people's mouths, and started trying to make them look bad. So, I don't think side is any more or less guilty than the other...To be fair it wasn't the haters that started comparing a $500 scope to a $3000 one.
For shits and giggles im going to get a Arken.Now the way some of you f. Sticks talk about other scopes this arken better impress the hell out of me better have good turrets better than my MK 5 . But honestly for 500 bills i think you arken shills are full of shit. Please dont compare other brands anymore .But they are worried its going to make their Bushnells, etc. look bad. Otherwise they wouldnt be acting this way. I was at a gun store the other day and they had a mounted Mk5 out on the counter. I spun the knobs just for the hell of it. Mushy shit. And that is just one so called $2000 optic being thrown in the mix. Whats sad is that Leupold can make good turrets if they want but for some reason some stupid asshole over there wont allow it.
It’s going to be fun, it’s in July so I got all spring to work on a load. July will be telling, it will most likely be in the high 80-90s should be a good time to compare to several other brands up there. I’ll have a couple Arken, couple bushy elites to compare. It’s a benefit shoot so it’ll be a good chance for everyone to compare and talk smack. LolCan't wait to see that video or pics. I'd also like to see how a 2,250 yd target looks through the EP5 and SH4 comparatively.
Who are you, and why should we be worried if you’re impressed or not?For shits and giggles im going to get a Arken.Now the way some of you f.

We all (well most of us anyway) voluntarily spent our own money, as well... So we have just as much right to compare these scopes as you do. Feel free to drop your (i'm sure it will not be positive, based on your negative attitude towards it before even buying it), opinions of it when you get it.For shits and giggles im going to get a Arken.Now the way some of you f.

Watch it!I'm literally going to do that now.

FWIW It hasn't been all that long ago I sent a Leupold MK5 back to Leupold for tracking issues. My point is, all optics can have flaws, no slap at Leupold intended. They sent me a new replacement and I sold it immediately after I received it..For shits and giggles im going to get a Arken.Now the way some of you f.

I'm comparing the hell out of a Tasco and Bushnell Banner. Right. This. Moment. Can't even see through the fog, but just wait until the turret tests.Watch it!
Captain mark 5 wont tolerate insubordination!
Both of them should out perform the mark 5 across the board in turret, tracking and feel, glass would likely be better as well.I'm comparing the hell out of a Tasco and Bushnell Banner. Right. This. Moment. Can't even see through the fog, but just wait until the turret tests.
Yep. Standby for my next comparison between an actual apple and an orange.Both of them should out perform the mark 5 across the board in turret, tracking and feel, glass would likely be better as well.
Yep, they got 1 more week (12/31 purchase) to get me my EP5 shipped out or I'm not going to be happy...The way its going right now by the time yours is delivered Arken will have an EP6 6-36 for $660
Don't fuck up and throw a banana or plum in the mix...Yep. Standby for my next comparison between an actual apple and an orange.
I don't think I've seen anyone here say that, but I've seen a LOT on Facebook say their Arkens were "hands down" better than Razor Gen 2s and various Nightforce models.Who said the scope was as good as any in the $2000 range?
...an "unorthodox" testing of the EP5...

I am stuck inside quarantined during a winter storm. It is freezing rain/sort of sleeting during these pho
I get why people compare them to more expensive scopes, the turrets are extremely good aside from an annoying habit of having some audible spring back when you dial hard and stop abruptly. It’s hard to explain. I don’t see it being a problem, but it annoys me. If it tracks and holds zero(so like, 99% of what you need a scope to do) it’s going to be a good option. This video is purely about the “snap back” I will likely make another about the turret in general
What day did you buy? I'm 12/31...Still no shipping notification yet...Got my alert that my EP5 has shipped.
12/29What day did you buy? I'm 12/31...Still no shipping notification yet...
Well... Tomorrow will be 4 weeks...Yep, they got 1 more week (12/31 purchase) to get me my EP5 shipped out or I'm not going to be happy...
Yeah,seriously. NOBODY did. The problem is that the Turrets were claimed to be as good. And how DARE someone claim that ANYTHING be even close to their magic scope. also the question was asked, are you getting 4,5,6,8 times the quality? Once again, how DARE someone as that! And that quickly turns into people saying everyone with an Arken SAID they are “are just as good”. Must defend the enormous amount of money they spent. (not everyone of course.) Some, like Poorboy for instance, are quite honest & sincere in reviewing.

Nice!I had my 4-16 on my 6.5 Manbun for a few weeks.
Buddies were shooting at the mile targets so I decided to join in.
Dialed my elevation and took a couple of shots.
This was the result on a 36"×36" target.
I'm not sure how much I had left, but I was able to dial in with a 20 MOA base.
Hit a little bit high, but it's doable. Dialed back to zero and was spot on.

Yeah, they need to give the berms a grooming.
