I've had a ton of budget friendly brands such as vortex, athlon, sightron, burris etc... hands down the Arken EPL series beats them all. It actually even beats out most of the 1000-1500 glass I
or Arken EPL4 6-24x50 FFP
Just out of curiosity, how does the EPL-4 6-24×50 perform in low light conditions. The property I hunt my longest possible shot is under 400 yards with average 150ish. Deer shots will be on edge or just inside heavy timber and low light conditions are tough on some scopes. Thinking about putting this on my budget Howa 1500 carbon fiber rifle build. Like the lighter weight. I have several Vortex Viper PST scopes, looking at something different. I love my Nightforce Optics, but can't put those on everything
