Why did they put the light on the left side? Most shooters are right handed. focus with left hand.

I really like the optics, I just wish Arken made a second focal plane scope for hunting. FFP scope's are pretty useless for hunting low light or at night.
Distance is not the issue, but the winds can make it interesting!

There's this new thing called illuminated reticles......Arken's have them. I hear what you're saying. We were shooting at our local range. The guy next to me was shooting a 5-25 Arkin. As dusk and shooting light faded he cranked it down to 5X. The reticle was so small. He turned on the illumination. Yes, there was a very tiny illuminated dot. He agreed it was barely helpful. Not saying it can't be done, it can it's just not ideal. If you hunt low light or at night consistently a SFP is a much better option. Hence I'd love to have a SFP scope from them.

Haven’t even set the zero stop. $350

Thanks, but I've killed hundreds of hogs at night/very low light. Never had a problem with illuminated FFP's, including the two Arken's I have.

My problem with it as well. I think it would have been better with a traditional mil reticle with half mil increments.

Oh you are right I’m a complete dumb arse. my bad Do you want to buy a Athlon  It’s bad I wish I’d look through before I bought it but it was on super sale and was going on a truck 223….. glass is good and it tracks. But now I know why it was on sale. I feel like the center is a 10 MOA jack in box head center piece. it’s huge

I’m fairly happy with mine. There’s a few improvements they could make, but for a first go, it was a solid product. Everything that I think should be changed has nothing to do with the performance of the unit, it works great for the price. I have the 5x20 LRF with the ballistic app, it’s very handy.

You are 1 shorter on your inventory. I couldn't help myself. I ordered one without the rangefinder.. I can't wait to try it out.

Arken Optics are top quality for the price. Just bought two EPL-4 6-24X50 FFP Illuminated VHR/VPR - Zero Stop - 30mm Tube. Bought them about three months ago.
