Rifle Scopes Where is the new Arken 7-35x56 thread?

[Rob01]

I figured with all the Arken fans here and the emails and posts on Facebook from Arken on their new scope coming out that someone would have posted about it here.

We have this new scope on order with Arken and are accepting pre-orders. According to our rep they should be in the end of next month

At $599 it'll sell like hotcakes to the budget buyers/builders.

I have some on order. I’m hoping they updated the turrets a bit. Some of the gen 1’s tend to have somewhat “skippy” turrets for lack of a better word.

I hope so as well. I have three ep5's and one of them feels loose (skippy) as you say. Not much resistance between each click. I like for them to be as tight as a lid on a pickle jar

They’re stomping those junk ZCO and S&B over here

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

Over time i have had more than my fair share of expensive Alpha/Top Tier Glass fail ... Just recently i had 2 current Top Tier optics on 2 of my Desert Tech,s go down. While still waiting for this to be resolved i decided to go the complete other end of the scale...yep....."Cheap" China...

Its a terrific optic ......... some of the " Top Tier " ( and i own most of them ) should be embarrassed !!!

I have my shipping notice with delivery for tomorrow, 8/8. I wouldn't be able to test it on a tall target test till September because my range is closed for maintenance. I will get to look through it and compare to my EP5 5-25. My EP5 tall target test at 40 MOA up it was about .25 inches high. That was an error of .59% I can live with it!

I’m a dealer for Arken, ZCO and Element and more. You get a lot for your money on the Arken and it’s nice and all but to compare to zco is downright hilarious. MF been punched by a kangaroo one too many times.

Mountain Mullets Merica video review for you guys


I just clicked through a bit w/out watching, but didn't see anything surprising. No tunneling, significant CA, shorter DOF

Well that's interesting , as it is one aspect i did expect to be an issue and low and behold my 2 samples have extremely "Minimal" CA !!!

I also placed a pre-order. Will be interesting to see how it stacks up against other glass I have. Thanks for the heads up on the ETA.

My new 7-35 showed up yesterday so today i have removed my 5-25 arken and put the 7-35 in the same mounts. I have zero’d it to the same point of aim of my red dot bore sighter. I won’t have a chance to zero it with real ammo till September when my local range opens. That is also when i will do a tall target test.

Here are a few observations:

1 I could position the eye piece at relatively the same point all of my scopes are set up to. This is my fclass gun so being prone and having the eye piece in the same position is a big win for me

2. But 1 changed up where i put my scope level. Without moving the mounts i had to put it forward of the front ring. Good news there was plenty of real estate up there.

3. I leveled everything thing to my bolt raceway and all seemed good. Now i was ready to get a bore sight and look around. The 7-35 bore sighted to within the same moa up from being all the way to the down stop. Then i turned the scope onto houses across the street, about 75 yards. Having the bubble level level the reticle held the vertical side of a house. So the reticle doesn’t seem rotated but truly level to the scope body.

4. Then i wanted to check focus and chromatic aberration. Unfortunately it is pretty cloudy so I didn’t get brilliant whites that bring out CA but I couldn’t detect much. About the same as my NXS 8-32 scope. I did focus on the shingles on the roof and moved the shingle to the edge. I could still see the “sand” on the surface in focus so it has a pretty flat field. All of this was done at 35x

Right now i am thinking this is the bargain of the century. When i can shake it out more i will give updates

@1791PrecisionArmory

Would be the guys to talk to. I tried to get them in a "lowest bidder" war, but they are strong with the force

 

[gr8fuldoug]

We have some incoming that should be here this week
