Arken Optics

[nakneker]

I haven’t been on for a long time, just getting back into the flow. I’m out of touch with many of the new products. I know these are Chinese made scopes, Arken Optics, and I’ve read some positive stuff. Thinking about using one on a rimfire. Anybody here had any experience with these, if so what’s your opinion, I’d love to hear it. I’ve read the reviews listed here and on the hide, looking for experience after some extended use.

I'd take a look at Tract. I bought one of their closeouts and it's pretty nice (2.5x10x42). I didn't like the "Response" reticule because it was not usable at dusk and I got a response within hours saying they would swap for an upgrade or take it back. Since I only paid $274, I opted to keep it and put it on a rimfire. Plus, the one I got was made in the Philippines.

I Just bought a Bushnell Forge for my rimfire. I don't know how much you are willing to pay for one but this are on sale at 50% off and since I like to use my rimfire beyond 200 yards it gives me the internal elevation adjustment I need (84 moa)to dial up to that distance and the magnification I want for my targets. It's a 3-18X50 with excellent glass that equals my Nikon monarchs, and Sightrons. For the price its pretty spectacular and has a zero stop as well. The only con I see on this scope is that the reticle is wire, but that should not be a problem since it is going on a rimfire, I bought a second one because I was very pleased.

Ive been playing with arken optics for a while. The 4-16 ep4 is a great scope although the center dot is a bit small. Ive been dealing for them since February so take my opinion with a grain of salt

Have a look on Riton at Rainer Arms , there is a rimfire BDC ret which is impressive for $$.

RITON OPTICS RT-S MOD 3 GEN2 2-7X32

Parallax 10 yrds out
There is a typo I think if I remember on manual about zero for BDC .You will zero @ fifty yrds. not 75
Rirton MOD 7 or there 20/20 x line 7 uses Ohara Japanese glass,which is right up there with Schott.
Prices have doubled since last year so grab one while you can .
I was able to try there Mod 7 4-32x56mm which tracks, super glass and ret. works well, hard to beat for there warranty and pricing
Also one of the best so far is Meopta Optika 6 line! seriously they are way over looked . still built in house using Schott glass .There may not be many accessories but top of line under $1K.
