Love the quick honest and to the point reviews. I normally take reviews with a grain of salt but I bought the ep4 and you weren't BS'ing, it tracks perfect. Considering buying a tango4 I'd love to see you put it through the same hell.
The honest review I was waiting for! A lot and I mean everyone but you said its just as good or so close you won't notice to the top tear they have and now I know without doubt save up and get the top shelf shit just like everything else in life... you pay for what you get and you don't put budget on expensive. 🥃cheers🍻
Great reviewJoe. Appreciate your honest approach and humour. There are too many po-faced reviwers out there giving five stars to their sponsors when everyone knows it's a three star product. Keep up the good work.
Thanks David , I truly appreciate you for saying that . It’s why I remain sponsor free . So I can just tell it like I see it . Right or wrong at least it’s honest
I get where your coming from. Drive a Mercedes, and then get in a Lexus. Both are great cars, but you still get what your paying for. Thanks for your honesty. I still think that kind of money for ANY air gun/pellet gun scope is overkill unless your winning Gold medals for your country to be honest. God bless. Love your channel and your reviews. Deepest respect my friend. No favoritism, and no punches pulled.👌👍 luv-it!
The FX Impact boys have been 'pimping' these Element Optics scopes like their lives depended on it. For the money, I think the Hawke Frontier range still give them a bloody nose. Let's see if these fellas are still in business five years from now and if their kit has stood the test of time. Until then, I for one am reluctant to spend a decent wad of cash on an unproven brand. Cheers for the honest review; at least Element had the balls to send one out to you. All the best 🇮🇸
I agree with you on the Hawke Frontier range. I have a Frontier 30FFP 5-25 x 56 and it's an incredible scope! Light, not bulky and excellent fit and finish! BUT....noooo information really about it at all...anywhere! I purchased the Element Helix which I actually think is a great scope for the price-point and excellent glass and turrets. I was going to try a Titan, but I get the feeling that the Helix and Nexus are great, but the Titan is as Joe says.....decent....but not a great scope! I still think the guys at Element have done and incredible job, and the reticles are the best out their I think! Keep it up! Keep safe all!
@@simonspain6080 Hi pal Good to hear from somebody with first hand ownership experience of both brands. I've had 3 Hawkes (currently own 2 of them). I had to let the FFP scope go because my 47 year old eyes don't like a reticle that small 😁, (don't laugh, you'll get there one day!). I dial for distance now rather than hold, but I apreciate that hold is a brilliant fast and stealthy option. I'm currently looking at a higher mag for my .243 Howa, which is currently running a x15 mag when not wearing the Wraith NV kit. There are masses of scopes out there that work perfectly for anything upto and inc. rimfire distance (circa 200 meters), no need to spend a lot unless it's pose value. I think the top end optics realy start to become worth their money once you stretch out the distance, especially past 500 mtr. In truth I rarely if ever go out to 500 mtr. as living shit has a habit of moving in a fraction of a second and before you know it, you've injured something that bolts off into cover to enjoy along painful death, which ain't what you want to see. Give the Element lads a year or two and I may just dip my toes in the water. Take care fella 🇮🇸
Haha....47!!! I am old enough to be your big brother then! 57 I was in September! Haha!! But with two boys under 10, so I started late! So I have to skateboard, bike, everything to keep up with them! Eyes are ok, but need glasses to read so I understand the reticle thing! I have a few rather expensive....well for me...just a collector and shoot when I can guy....a Delta Stryker SFP 5-50 x 56 and the BIG Nikko! Completely overkill I understand, but for Field Target they come into their own. As you probably know, you use the mag to range-find with the side-focus....and both....the Nikko best of all....can do as good a job as my laser range-finder! Amazing! For anything else probably x12...x16 is enough but then the FAC Air Arms and the FX guns are shooting over 100 yards....so I do like up to say x25 to see stuff better and to see where the shot goes. I think the Element guys have integrity from seeing where they came from. Yes, sure everyone will be 'needing' Element Optics now, but I'm ok with that and the Helix did really surprise me with the class it has for the money. Where are you in the world? I am in a far too dry southern Spain!....miss the rain...we need it! But then I am originally from the UK! My Spanish born boys love rain like their Dad luckily! LOL Keep well and safe! :-)
@@simonspain6080 lol... skateboards at 57... can't you find a safer hobby, like sword swallowing or something! I have two boys myself, 18 & 11. We live about 30 mins drive away from 'sunny' Manchester... currently in 'tier 3' Corona lockdown... again! I suppose if you're Field Target shooting with air, then the big mag is pretty useful, especially when exact mm shot placement counts. The 'exacting' precision needed in F.T. is no less critical than the 'within a couple of inches' accuracy that I need out at 200+ meters. Must admit, some of the airgun shooters seem to be incredible shots... I couldn't come close to their degree of accuracy... head shots on pigions at 100 metrrs... in a stiff breeze! Uncertain times at the moment, what with this bloody virus and (I would have thought at the forefront of your mind) the UK's decision to leave the EU; time will tell re the latter I suppose. I find my shooting an escape from the crap that seems to be ongoing almost constantly these days. I find the piece and solitude of the outdoors therapeutic. Take care and best of luck to you and your family, (and don't knock the sunshine with your 'rose tinted' British weather glasses on... constant rain is crap!) 👍🇮🇸
Awesome review! I've been waiting on this one before I made my next scope purchase. I wanted an honest opinion without the hype. I think it's going to be the Arken EP4 for me though. Thanks Joe!
@@CyclopsJoeVideos That specific model though is very popular. It’s waaaaay nicer than the Strike Eagle. Very worthy of a review by the man himself Joe Rhea💪
Great Video. Are the Nightforce ATACR’s imported lol? This Badass Element seems almost identical to the Nightforce that’s 4 times the price.. I know when a Company is awarded a Government Contract there prices seem to double and triple in some cases Trijicon, Eotech, Aimpoint just to name a few, I remember picking those up in the 80’s for decent affordable prices. Thank you for the Video. Semper Fidelis
Ohhh no no no lol the F1' are world class scopes in every facet of the word. The Element Nexus is a fantastic scope at 1500 dollars amazing even but it is in no way shape or form comparable to a NF F1 and this scope isn't comparable to the Nexus. The F1s are 2x the cost of the Nexus and 4x the cost of this scope so they shouldn't be compared. The nexus is a better preforming scope then NF SHV without a doubt and this scope will give you 90% of the performance of an SHV for about 500 dollars less but again don't think that a 800 dollar scope will compete with with a 3500 dollar scope because it wont nor will a 800 dollar scope compete with a 1500 dollar scope. There is a reason top tier scopes cost what they cost. There is also the fact you will pay a hefty price for names but when you are talking world class optics there is a reason they are world class.
@@EDCandLace great response and I’ve used NF Optics and yes World Class. I know anything can be labeled anything like World Class and doesn’t mean that it is, Tasco “World Class” are good Optics but not a Zeiss. I have a fixed 10x SB that is TRULY a Top-Tier Optic and by no means 3000 dollars. It doesn’t take thousands of Dollars to get Quality just a large Bank Account and being Gullible and easily influenced. It’s the Operator always and not always the Equipment.
Thanks Joe! This confirmed the reason why I sold both of my Titans. Thought they were duds but that’s how they are it seems. Your review was spot on. 👍 Imo for wanting to go Element ... go the Nexus route
Hmmm... 0:20 sec till 0:25 in the background under the trees at your left....!!!! What is that Joe? Hope you are playing games with us..... Spooked the hell out of me....
Hey Joe sorry I haven't been around for a while. I got rather sick and have been in the hospital for a while. Home now and healed up pretty well and doing great now.
Hi Joe, great content. Im looking at a Titan for my 308 match rifle, is the focus shift you mentioned from turning the Parallax or the diopter? Would also like your opinion between the bushnell match pro ed and the element.
Why can't the other guys and I won't name them off do what these guys did? And that's put a nice plain old thin crosshair reticle in their scope? Finally an apparent good quality scope without all that bullshit! It would be nothing at all to add a model with a crosshair like this! I love it! Thanks for the review!
Hi Joe I love your videos and your down right no shits given honesty I have a question for you what are your thoughts on the MTC VIPER CONNECT scopes I know they are cheap at around £300 for the 3x12x32 but are the worth that coin
@@CyclopsJoeVideos ok I know that particular model is not rated for a reconciling rifle only for pcp thankyou for taking the time to reply and keep them videos coming. 🇬🇧
Looking for reviews on the element and i was just about convinced as pretty much the airgun channels have been very positive about them. Thanks for your video as its a big help for my decision, i want a scope whether its mid priced or not to Survive the turret test and return to Zero. Im ok with mid priced scopes which have small errors in their mil or MOA gradients but i want one which is consistent and always returns to Zero.🤔
@@CyclopsJoeVideos that is why i recommend you to my friends looking to buy glass. Here in our country scopes costs 1.5 to 2x the price as it is a novelty item. Fake scopes here on Gun stores can cost anywhere from 100 to 300 US. On the internet its more forgiving but you can only buy the premium China made scopes brands thru the internet and there is no return or repair warranties as shipping a scope back out although is no problem but shipping it back in is illegal unless thru a certified dealers which they do not offer since its their policy to sell you a scope and not to tend to repairs or replacement.
I was hoping to see this this being spot on. I rely on your opinion. Should a person spend $800.00 on this or the Athlon Midas Tac assuming the exact same price? I’m shopping for my FX Impact .25 cal shooting out to 200 yds or so. Thanks Joe.
Hey thanks for the great video, I had planned on getting the helix but decided that if i saved a little longer for this one I probably wouldn’t regret it, before I make the purchase are there any other scopes in this price range that you would recommend more? Once again thanks for the great vid
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thanks so much-- IORs are such dream scopes, I hope another giveaway happens in the future. Thanks for the 1st rate, entertaining and educational channel !!
Yoe, If you had to choose a scope for around 800/1000 dollar. With same magnification, ffp and same 'tree like' reticle. What scope would that be? Im just diving in the world of scopes and i love your channel!!! 🙂
Nice review. So if I'm not going crazy like "nipple twister" on the turret, is it ok or I need to take care about POI shift when return to zero ? Nexus is too much expansive for me right now but I want a scope that I can believe the turrets ;) Thanks
How would you compare the Titan with the Vector Continental that you recently reviewed? In terms of glass quality and overall performance? Thanks in advance!
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thank you Joe. I am sorry for posting twice on this, I read further down and saw you had answered the same question, I must have missed it on first pass. Appreciate your help
Love your videos and really trust your judgment when you share your input on them could you please do a review on the Sniper ZT- 5-25x50 FFP scope with side parallax adjustments this scope is on sale for $319.00 by a company out of Dallas Texas thank you in advance?
@@CyclopsJoeVideos thank you for responding brother really appreciate it as I’m in the look out for a long range scope that won’t break the bank you know how that is lol
Very impressive Element Titan is it made in Japan? I want to buy a scope for my remington 700 police in .308, for long range shooting-600 yards-1000 yards! And also benchrest 200 meters and 300 meters! Does it resist to the recoil and does it have enought power magnification?? Thank you for your help and opinion! I am Portuguese and my English is terrible! Kind regards!
Thank You for what you doing. In your opinion what is the best badass with around 6-24 zoom and price range 600-800$. This one or something else is even better??
Did you ever find the set screw for the zero stop that fell out when you removed the turret @2:18 and was missing when you pretended to tighten it @2:33? Anyways, I bought the Helix SFP and it too is proof that the Chinese can make really good stuff for a great price!
To make use of the Elevation using adjustable mounts i have noticed the image quality at 2 or 3 mil up from bottom and up the top is average. image starts to clear up at around 10 mil up and 6 from the top of travel so it really doesnt have a usefull 26 mill of travel . My Helix is great all through the range . Also noticed mine has 12 mil of winage not the 14.5 advertised . When optically centered useing a mirrow or v block i am then left with 4 mil of windage in one direction and 8 in the other . Something not right.
Lol, the turret cover is toolless, but then you need to undo hex grub screws to set/change the zero stop. Why did they even bother with the tool-less cap, i wonder...
If you think about it for two seconds, a scope zero can change slightly over time. Could be due to an ammo change or just oddities with each rifle... For this reason you may from time to time need to re-index the turret. As for the zero stop, what is nice about this particular design is that you don't have to set it to zero. I personally prefer to set my zero stop about 5 MOA past my zero specifically so I can over travel below zero for those times I need to. It's also possible that your zero distance requires you to go below zero for shorter distances. All good reasons to set the zero stop, below zero.
Nice video. Been following you for a while. Just curious ....have you ever tested, or played with a scope with the brand name of XOpin? They're about 150 dollar range and sold on Amazon. Aside from not having a scalloped end, they appear to be identical to another brand AOTop. Im sure Im insulting your taste and making you laugh asking about what are probably just Chinese junk, but I own one and wanted to know what you thought of it (good or bad).
No man you aren't insulting me AT ALL ! I actually did like 3 reviews on the AOE scopes . The lil 3-9 is a real bargain . The 6-24 worked great but crapped out after about 2 weeks
MountainSport Airguns just did their first review in the field. This thing is good. Very good. Just wondering how it stacks up against Element scopes. Just waiting on your review now Joe. My budget is $700 and its going to be between element and hawke before i buy one for my 40ft/lb daystate regal xl.

The FX Impact boys have been 'pimping' these Element Optics scopes like their lives depended on it.

Hi Joe I love your videos and your down right no shits given honesty I have a question for you what are your thoughts on the MTC VIPER CONNECT scopes I know they are cheap at around £300 for the 3x12x32 but are the worth that coin
I have not had very good luck with MTC . I don't know anything particular about that model tho
@@CyclopsJoeVideos ok I know that particular model is not rated for a reconciling rifle only for pcp thankyou for taking the time to reply and keep them videos coming. 🇬🇧
Looking for reviews on the element and i was just about convinced as pretty much the airgun channels have been very positive about them. Thanks for your video as its a big help for my decision, i want a scope whether its mid priced or not to Survive the turret test and return to Zero. Im ok with mid priced scopes which have small errors in their mil or MOA gradients but i want one which is consistent and always returns to Zero.🤔
Yeah man a lotta guys who get stuff free is worried to say anything that’s not positive
@@CyclopsJoeVideos that is why i recommend you to my friends looking to buy glass. Here in our country scopes costs 1.5 to 2x the price as it is a novelty item. Fake scopes here on Gun stores can cost anywhere from 100 to 300 US. On the internet its more forgiving but you can only buy the premium China made scopes brands thru the internet and there is no return or repair warranties as shipping a scope back out although is no problem but shipping it back in is illegal unless thru a certified dealers which they do not offer since its their policy to sell you a scope and not to tend to repairs or replacement.
I was hoping to see this this being spot on. I rely on your opinion. Should a person spend $800.00 on this or the Athlon Midas Tac assuming the exact same price? I’m shopping for my FX Impact .25 cal shooting out to 200 yds or so. Thanks Joe.
Midas Tac and do t look back .Just being honest
Hey thanks for the great video, I had planned on getting the helix but decided that if i saved a little longer for this one I probably wouldn’t regret it, before I make the purchase are there any other scopes in this price range that you would recommend more? Once again thanks for the great vid
The Athlon Midas Tac , Bushnell Match Pro , Arken EP4 , SWFA 3-15
Vortex strike eagle 5-25x56 vs titan 5-25x56 which one is better ?? Glass quality ??
Titan
I try to find a sidefocus weel but not kan find it
Hello. Titan Element Camera In the long run on the 308 caliber Will there be no problem?
Man it handle that zero issues
Good stuff Joe
Thanks Cris
Morning, Joe
Great review., as always!!.. how do those outside the US join the giveaway?
This giveaway already over . Next giveaway coming up very soon
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thanks so much-- IORs are such dream scopes, I hope another giveaway happens in the future. Thanks for the 1st rate, entertaining and educational channel !!
You are the best.
What do you prefer for same price? this titan or the vector continental 5-30 x56ffp
Vector
Have they improves the scope since this review?
I don’t have a clue man sorry
Yoe, If you had to choose a scope for around 800/1000 dollar. With same magnification, ffp and same 'tree like' reticle. What scope would that be?
Im just diving in the world of scopes and i love your channel!!! 🙂
Budget go Arken and don’t look back . Higher end Leupold LRP 4-14
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Would a 4-14 magnification be enough for 100 meters benchrest competition?
Hello Joe. There was a vid about " Element Optics " wich being canceled . Do you know what happened ? Can U reload that ?????????
No man , RUclips age restricted it , so I uploaded it again , then they deleted it so I just gave up
@@CyclopsJoeVideos OK.
Nice review. So if I'm not going crazy like "nipple twister" on the turret, is it ok or I need to take care about POI shift when return to zero ? Nexus is too much expansive for me right now but I want a scope that I can believe the turrets ;) Thanks
It should be fine
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Oki, thank for your answer
Any recommendations for a FFP under £650.
Many thanks
Arekn 4-16 , or Element Helix
Is the glass on this scope better than the Arken Gen 2 ? Is it ED glass?
Man it’s super close , but glass wise the Titan probably has a slight edge
Many thanks for sharing Joe can you get this in SFP can the mushiness be a problem.
No it's SFP only . Man it's just personal preference. But at the $800 price it shouldn't be this spongy
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thanks for your help I may consider the Vortex Viper PST Gen 2 SFP or a Hawk Frontier or Bushnell
Check out the Bushnell Forge scopes , they are closing out the SFP versions for like half price at several retailers
@@CyclopsJoeVideos many thanks Joe.
Hallo. Could you please tell me, what is better, in your opinion, Titan or Athlon Helos BTR 8-34x56 and why? Thanks and Hallo from Finland.
Titan . It has the better glass
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thanks a lot.
How would you compare the Titan with the Vector Continental that you recently reviewed? In terms of glass quality and overall performance?
Thanks in advance!
The Titan had better glass , the Vector mechanical system felt better
@@CyclopsJoeVideos thanks for the reply Joe. Would you pick the Continental between the two?
Joe, how does the Athlon Midas 5x25 compare to this?
I like the Athlon better
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thank you Joe. I am sorry for posting twice on this, I read further down and saw you had answered the same question, I must have missed it on first pass. Appreciate your help
Okay, my question is how does this scope compare to the Arken EP4?
I prefer the EP4 . It definitely definitely tracked better and has better turrets . But this has slightly better glass
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Joe, the other Arken with better glass and you still saving $200 is that other Arken as clear as the Titan?
Joe will you take the Titan or the SH4
SH4 . Half the price and more dependable . Just my 2C
@@CyclopsJoeVideos thanks for the response 👍
Hi Cyclop, can u please tell how this scope compare to delta javelin???
It's not even close . They Javelin is a BIG jump in quality
@@CyclopsJoeVideos
I almost buy the vortex eagle for 750£ here in uk buy I resignated after watching your chanel.. Im confuse now.
Love your videos and really trust your judgment when you share your input on them could you please do a review on the Sniper ZT- 5-25x50 FFP scope with side parallax adjustments this scope is on sale for $319.00 by a company out of Dallas Texas thank you in advance?
I'll check into it . Thanks
@@CyclopsJoeVideos thank you for responding brother really appreciate it as I’m in the look out for a long range scope that won’t break the bank you know how that is lol
Hi Joe
I was disappointed you didn't say anything about the weight, its bloody heavy and only realised it when I had it bought.love your reviews,
Hi Joe
Any answer for above msg.
Very impressive Element Titan is it made in Japan? I want to buy a scope for my remington 700 police in .308, for long range shooting-600 yards-1000 yards! And also benchrest 200 meters and 300 meters! Does it resist to the recoil and does it have enought power magnification?? Thank you for your help and opinion! I am Portuguese and my English is terrible! Kind regards!
Please do a review on the Frontier with zero stop. The new 5-25-56. Been told it is better scope on all levels. In fairness the Hawke is 200$ more.
I’ll holler at Hawke this week , take care buddy
@@CyclopsJoeVideos you too
Check out new gen 2 S -30 Falcon 34 tube. Im waiting. The s30 and x 50 are EXCELLENT ranging scopes at a very good price point.
Thank You for what you doing. In your opinion what is the best badass with around 6-24 zoom and price range 600-800$. This one or something else is even better??
Athlon Midas Tac 5-25 at $800 , ARKEN SH4 Gen 2 at $400, Bushnell Match Pro at $500 all 3 of these are tops in class
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Thank you for your time and answer.
@@CyclopsJoeVideos Is there a ARKEN SH4 Gen 2 6-24 test on Your channel ? I can find only EP4.
Did you ever find the set screw for the zero stop that fell out when you removed the turret @2:18 and was missing when you pretended to tighten it @2:33? Anyways, I bought the Helix SFP and it too is proof that the Chinese can make really good stuff for a great price!
How does it perform vs the pst gen 2 and the midas tac
Of this scope and the Vortex and the Midas tack I prefer the Midas tax without a doubt
how does it compare with Hawke Frontier H7 5-25?
I prefer the Hawke
@@CyclopsJoeVideos i will buy the hawke now. Thx 👍🏻
Price point, it could be compared to the swfa ss 3-15 which is a 100% reliable tank. What u think?
SWFA much better
Good review.... $800 is $800 and mush ain’t no biggie.....
Are these made in Japan with the ed glass?
No
To make use of the Elevation using adjustable mounts i have noticed the image quality at 2 or 3 mil up from bottom and up the top is average. image starts to clear up at around 10 mil up and 6 from the top of travel so it really doesnt have a usefull 26 mill of travel . My Helix is great all through the range . Also noticed mine has 12 mil of winage not the 14.5 advertised . When optically centered useing a mirrow or v block i am then left with 4 mil of windage in one direction and 8 in the other . Something not right.
Lol, the turret cover is toolless, but then you need to undo hex grub screws to set/change the zero stop. Why did they even bother with the tool-less cap, i wonder...
If you think about it for two seconds, a scope zero can change slightly over time. Could be due to an ammo change or just oddities with each rifle... For this reason you may from time to time need to re-index the turret. As for the zero stop, what is nice about this particular design is that you don't have to set it to zero. I personally prefer to set my zero stop about 5 MOA past my zero specifically so I can over travel below zero for those times I need to. It's also possible that your zero distance requires you to go below zero for shorter distances. All good reasons to set the zero stop, below zero.
Honestly….Is this really worth the extra dough over an Arken ???
Nice video. Been following you for a while. Just curious ....have you ever tested, or played with a scope with the brand name of XOpin? They're about 150 dollar range and sold on Amazon. Aside from not having a scalloped end, they appear to be identical to another brand AOTop. Im sure Im insulting your taste and making you laugh asking about what are probably just Chinese junk, but I own one and wanted to know what you thought of it (good or bad).
No man you aren't insulting me AT ALL ! I actually did like 3 reviews on the AOE scopes . The lil 3-9 is a real bargain . The 6-24 worked great but crapped out after about 2 weeks
what do you think of the glass sir its looks milky or its my eyes?
The glass is just average
So not super clear?for this price range!
How bright is this scope in low light for hunting
I honestly didn't try it in really low light. But it does have very good glass
Ok thanks have you tried the meopta optika6 scopes
very cool telescope
Hello VORTEX STİKE EAGLE VS. ELEMENT TİTAN
Which binocular do you prefer? which one is better
Lol, think on it ….you know This ,)
MountainSport Airguns just did their first review in the field. This thing is good. Very good. Just wondering how it stacks up against Element scopes. Just waiting on your review now Joe. My budget is $700 and its going to be between element and hawke before i buy one for my 40ft/lb daystate regal xl.
Man the new Hawke scopes I keep hearing are Super Nice . But no idea when or if I’ll be testing one
My frustration is the only scopes with great resale value are Vortex, Leupold, Bushnell and Nightforce.
Yep
Okay Joe......let me win this!!! 🤣😂🙌🙏
Ok I would think. But still doesn’t seem worth 800. But just me. The focus drift was a bit unsettlingly. Thx for review.
You are more than welcome, it’s why I film thru the scope so guys can see what I see
