[QUOTE="Hotmail, post: 2999805, member: 128098"] Arken EP5 under $450, Arken EPL4 6-24x50 under $350, the newest Arken EP5s and EPL4s are the ONLY Chinese made scopes I can personally recommend buying otherwise you're throwing away your money on overinflated prices from other brands since made in China are meant for first and foremost profits and not necessarily for the best quality with the aforementioned Arjens being the only exception being priced accordingly. This spot is for the in between $1000-$1800 category such as the 4.5-30x56 and 4-25x50 scopes but there's none I can personally recommend after comparing my Athlon Cronus BTRs 4.5-29x56 and Tract Toric ELR 4.5-30x56 directly side by side to my much cheaper Arken EP5s. Nightforce NX8 F1 4-32x56 $1800 if you shop smart and only buy from price friendly dealers over the phone for the best possible prices they aren't allowed to advertise, Vortex Razor Gen 3 $2100 refurbs from A&A with the improved turrets or $2400 or less brand new if you shop smart. Element Optics Theos 6-36x56 around $2000 - $2200 new or used if you shop smart (much lighter than the Vortex Razor Gen 3 and almost identical in clarity 12MILs per revolution). I've already tried a lot of all price levels of scopes and these are what my own eyes prefer. The newest Arken EP5s are clearer and have a more forgiving eyebox than the Bushnell Pro ED and has far superior turrets and warranty. [/QUOTE]
