[QUOTE="GBA1776, post: 3033367, member: 20522"] Ive got two Arkens the EP5 5-25 and the EP8 1-8. The EP5 5-25 is the best and most feature loaded scope you can get for the price by a large margin. Can you spend 3x as much and get a better optic with better glass? Of course. Can you spend up two twice as much and get a better scope with the same full set of features and better glass? I haven't found any. There are tons of tests that prove the tracking is spot on and there are tons of tests that show the ED glass they use is excellent and as far as clarity/color is concerned it hits well above its price point. The things you give up when you buy an Arken is a slightly tighter eye box, slightly more darkening of the image at full power, a less forgiving parallax/focus range, and an illumination system that blooms more than competitors. The EP8 is a decent 1-8 LPVO. There are scopes with a better 1x and some with a better 8x but the EP8 is bright and clear and decent-good eye relief. Its a good value, not as good as the EP-5 but still good. [/QUOTE]
