Arken SH4 gen II

[jreedtn]

Anyone have any experience regarding the Arken SH4 gen2 scope? Lookinget for a decent scope for a tikka ctr. Just informal target work and some hunting out west. Looks like they have some very good reviews with excellent glass and tracking.

I realize this is a little old, but I've been looking at one of these myself, and am wondering if you got one, and if so how is it?

Inquiring minds want to know....

My buddy and I stepped out and bought 3 of these. 1 for him and 2 for me. We purchased them with the kit and rings. After all of our research we truly believe we'll be satisfied and not disappointed.

Bought one a couple of weeks ago ( online dealer had it in stock) but had to send it back, parallax out of spec; reticle kept moving when moving eye behind ocular. Otherwise a great, solid scope. Once they get the kinks / quality control sorted out it will be a great deal.

You should expect that when you spend $400 on a scope promising features that are normally only found to be well executed on scopes costing 3-4 times as much that you’re going to get a pile o…

I just sent them a note. Hopefully they'll read it. I told them I'm very concerned now.

@ballisticxlr Thanks for posting your review. You saved a friend the grief.

I had gifted some SWFA SS 3-18X scopes when those were available and now that they are not, folks are out seeking an equivalent. I don’t see one for less than two to three times what those SWFAs cost. Thanks again.

I own the EP 6-24. Amazing for the price! Planning on ordering another, and trying the SH4 too.
every scope manufacturer has a bad scope once in a while, like auto manufacturers have the occasional lemon. The question is how well do they stand behind their products. I haven’t heard anything bad about Arken‘s lifetime warranty.
I would pay $1000 for their EP if it was made in the USA....

I'm good now. Going to let their product and customer service speak for them.

Good deal. I'm doing it the opposite way.

I ordered mine on November 28th and still haven't received mine. I'm pretty much ready to cancel my order or wait till they ship it and sell it..
Yes the customer service is quite lacking, no update info unless you email them. When they respond they are kinda shitty in there attitude

Cancel, maybe it will speed my order up. I ordered on November 30th, knowing it was possibly a 12 week wait. I'm not in a hurry, still have a few new scopes in boxes in the closet.

Well I got my money back so your one up on the list...
Guess I'll buy a Meopta or sightron instead..
