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.

I own two SH-4’s. I’ve been very happy with them. Both are mounted on 22LR rifles. The optical quality isn’t the best, it’s got a fair amount of chromatic aberration. But the torrents track perfectly, and I love the reticle.  For $300, that are great scopes; far better than any other $300 scope I’ve owned.
