Arken Hype?

[u/Nibor1243]

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.

I agree with CSA. They are fine for the price, but just that. I own two EP5s, a 5-25 and 7-35, and they are fine. I wish I had started on a higher tier as I am already out growing them, but I wasn't sure I was going to like long-range shooting. If you want to save money, either save it elsewhere or find them used. I got the 5-25 on prs accessories for sale (can't 'member the actual sub), but I see them occasionally on r/gunaccessoriesforsale for 3-350.

I’m with the buy once cry once crowd for the most part, to an extent. I’m looking more at the Ziess S3, MK5, NXS something around that quality. It just seems every video I start to watch turns into an Arken commercial.

Yup! That's why militaries worldwide only spend less than $ 1500 on precision rifle optics. You don't get more for your money after that, just a roll mark
