Arken rifle scopes?

[MTGunner]

Thinking about a change of scope on my XP-100 R from Burris 3-12 pistol scope to perhaps an Arken 4-16 or 6-24 rifle scope model. Having trouble with old eyes and want to change to a rifle scope. This will be for a 260AI cartridge. Heavy bbl. with muzzle brake. No heavy recoiling loads.
So, looking for opinions on these Arken scopes. Thanks. MTG

Pretty good for the money. some complain of chromatic aberration (double colors) but I have not seen it. That was also said about Vortex scopes but that was by a guy who admittedly does not like Vortex, as a general rule.

Anyway, the design of the turrets is using allen-head set screws. These can back out from vibration. Arken tech support suggested using Vibra Tite, which seems to work. I have a few Arkens but I prefer Vortex. And, in some circles, that means that you can ignore every single word out of my mouth.

TLDR; good scope for the money without breaking the bank. And I have seen a few guys on the Texas Plinking 1 MOA at 1,000 yards challenge doing quite well with Arken. So, it is holding up against Vortex Viper PST and even Night Force ATAC-R.

I sure love mine. It’s a 4-16-44 Epl4 model which has the better glass but only 30mm tube dia. for weight savings The Epl4 model is available in 6-24 also

I have 3 Arken scopes and they are well worth the money for me
