    My 5-25x56 EP5 and rifle took a back flip off my truck a few weeks ago, and it's still right on the zero.

    Expert Marksmanship.
    Remarkable scope.
    Supreme rifle.
    Magnificent Taylor Swift animation.
    I would say, damn nice work.

    Joe you're one of the most honest and well respected product reviewers in the community, not only that but a big hearted man always helping others in need. Thanks for sharing the experiences you have with the scopes and different gadgets. I wonder if anybody is ever gonna make a video on how many people returned the scopes for bad quality and what was our experience with customer services.
    I only kept one out four scopes I bought . Never buying another one from them.

    You were having way too much fun... 🤣... Thanks for beating it and putting it to the test. Actually got my first Arken late last year, the EP8. Pretty happy with it overall, but at some point I need to get one of their other higher mag options. On another note...dang that rifle is a laser! Hope you're having a great weekend brother!

    You turned me on to Arken awhile back and they are AMAZING for the money,. I think I have six of them now and love them all. Thanks Cyclops! PS: They work well on big magnum recoil rifles also, I have one on a 30 NOSLER and a 6.5x300 WBY with no issues.

    Arken makes some damn good scopes. I have the SH-4 Gen2 6-24x50 and it is crystal clear and easy to dial in. No problems yet after a year of use.

  • @WhoCares-su8od
    @WhoCares-su8od 8 месяцев назад +1

    You turned me onto these scopes when the sh4 was the only high power scope. I own serval arken scopes and put them through the same shit you do. So I've been replacing vortex diamondback and venom's with EP5s. My favorite 22 is my anschutz 1710, and yes I have a arken in it too. But not think I just use it on 22s.i got one on a 25-06, a 308. This scope line as everything you need

    Best scope review I’ve ever seen😂
    Just bought two EP5’s, one as a loaner scope to move while I’m testing rifles. Second one will go on my 223 Ackley Improved trainer. Very excited after watching this video

  • @rosswitte
    @rosswitte 8 месяцев назад +1

    Nice video. What kind of bipod is that? What are the rifle calibers that were used in last 2 years that were not a 22? Have a good one.

  • @mopardoctor9966
    @mopardoctor9966 8 месяцев назад +1

    Other than the Arken not wanting to adjust one or 2 clicks from a “cold set” they are great. Just gummy grease I guess.

  • @KevinWood44
    @KevinWood44 8 месяцев назад +1

    I may put the EPL4 on an AR 15 SPR.
    I never realized how light that scope is...most 2-10x, 3-15x and 4-16x scopes are 8 to 10 ozs heavier than the EPL

  • @Nimrod1966
    @Nimrod1966 4 месяца назад

    Not gonna lie... I. LOVE. MY. ARKENS!!!! I have the SJ-4 on a 6.5 Creed and the EP-5 on a .300 PRC and... well... yeah... 3-round ONE HOLE GROUPS at 100 yds!!! I was severely impressed, so I took them out to 600, but while NO one-holes were had, my best group with both of these calibers was 1.3', so... I am SOLD, and will DEFINITELY buy the new EP=5 GEN II when it comes out so that I can put it on my .338 LM. Thanks, Joe!!!

    My EP5 literally shamed a Vortex Razors turrets back to the factory. It’s time ARKEN put some real glass in a scope and put out at least one 1k dollar scope. Give me some better glass ARKEN. 30mm tube would be nice too.

    @sylverbullit7192 3 месяца назад

    I trying to decide between this scope or the Arken Zulus. Mostly plinking with a bolt action .223. Probably not much night work, but I like the idea of one tool having night capacity.
    Pros & Cons? I would love a video on that topic! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
