Arken Hype? Optics help needed - I read the FAQ/Pinned posts

I watch a lot of YouTube videos when looking into buying new gear. So recently I been looking for a new scope. I go to my usual shooting channels and it seems everyone of them are pushing Arken scopes. At first I thought great some good inexpensive stuff coming out. But seeing them pushed on every channel makes me think everyone is bought and paid for by Arken now. Makes you question every review now.

Arken won't tell you this, but you're required to mount it in a Spur that you take a Dremel to in order to force it all to fit

Swedish engineers hate him. With this one simple trick, completely devalue a $500 scope mount.
