I see Arken scopes are being brought into Canada. The reviews on youtube seem to be liking them. Anyone who owns one care to give their review?? The value seems pretty good but I'm hesitant as I have zero experience with the brand.
 
I am in a similar boat. I have had the same bushnell scope for a while and looking at upgrade it as its just your basic 4-16 on a 6.5 Prc and I want to switch to a FFP with either a MIL or MOA Christmas tree reticle.
 
I had asked another dealer on here how the glass etc compared to a different scope I use. So far nothing but crickets. I too want to try FFP. Hopefully someone can chime in soon.
 
I have one SH Gen2 6-24. Clarity from 6 power to 20 power is very good. The clarity drops greater than 20 power. However it still out perform the scopes at same price range.
I like the turret on this scope a lot. It tracks well and it doesn’t feel mushy.
Hope that helps

What about eye box, can you give me something to compare it to? Such as another similar scope you might have personal experience with? Hopefully I or someone else might have experience with.
 
I used mainly TT now. This Arken is on my gas gun.
I tried my friend’s PST Gen 2. PST will have better glass performance at higher magnification. Arken has better turret. In terms of eye box they are pretty much the same.
Keep in mind PST gen 2 almost doubles the price of Arken.
 
For the $400-$450 US($506-$570Cdn) they go for down south they are an amazing value for this type of optic.

Not sure why the dealers listing them are being secretive around who is distributing them in Canada?

I noticed that and posted a couple questions in their tread.... not sure what the deal is but for the extra $100 how hard is it to answer some questions?
Even at the Cdn pricing they look pretty nice.
 
The Warranty is on par with Vortex, leupold,bushnell ... lifetime, no paperwork needed.

They really seem to be pushing the tracking accuracy of the turrets and also the accuracy of their reticle
 
Watched a YouTube video review on the scopes. Warranty seems good, but the issue from the reviewer was the lengthy wait time to get a replacement. I think it was over 3 months or longer.

Lot's of things are delayed these days, I have a feeling this might be that.
 
I have the ep5 and its great for the price
I have brought about 7 into canada so far for me and friends at 1200$ with the combo
The dealers were taking to long to get them for me so I found a us suplier

3 months is not bad lol try dealing with Burris warranty first time I was six months and they sent me back same piece of #### broken scope was a year for the total warranty claim on that one and they never really fixed the problem so tossed the scope in trash. Second time was a almost 9 month wait to get a fast fire replaced under warranty but at least they replaced it
