    I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the youtube.com/post/Ugkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W… scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.

    This is a fantastic review comparison. Thank you Rex
  • Nice review, very thorough as usual! I have two SH4's and have nothing but praise for them. I might try an EP5 next time after watching your vid.

    Thanks for the discount code! I ordered one. Can't wait to get it.
  • Scary stuff tib. I’ve been watching your YT channel for many a years now. Infact since I was serving. I’m 40 this year and we getting old but still got them skills. Keep the vids coming bud

    Damn .... I have heard about you and now I know why! I've dabbled in all different types of guns.. 22's, PCC'S, AR's, Surplus, Shotties, Auto pistols and old school cowboy single action revolvers. The only thing left on the bucket list is long range and black powder, My son at 22 is pushing me into scary deep waters. I have always had bad eyes so going for distance has been put on the back burner, My new glasses have got me above 20/20 and 400yrds on a 223 is cake. I want to stretch to the limit for a personal best and your perfectly executed review is by far the most professional in depth review with a great deal of personal feel and experience that is very impressive. Thank you!

    Im just getting into this type of sport shooting with needing a scope and Ive been looking online for sometime trying to learn as much as I can and so far from a completely amateur point of perspective the Arken wins for me. Going to one soon to add to my AR-10 .308 build.

    I’m wonder what Rex will say about parallax adjustment beside scope coating
  • @twissted1277
    I just picked up the EP5 and the -5-30x56 Continental. The Vortex strike Eagle 5-25x56 I also have. I have other high end scopes and the one that stands out is the Vector Optics Continental scopes! I have other Vector Optics Veyron for ultimate light weight hunting scope and it a pinch over 200 bucks in ffp for the 3-12x44.

    I'd be curious to see a comparison between the arken optics sh4 4-16x50 and the swampfox optics warhawk 4-20x50
  • There both great optics. I've bought 4 of the Arkin, the last just arrived yesterday.
  • I have 3 Venoms and recently purchased an EP5 for another rimfire build . Bottom line: I feel the controls and mechanics are better on the EP5. However, the brightness and (EBR7) reticle on the Venom were unanimously voted noticeably better when I let shooting buds try them side by side at the range. If I were to buy another 5-25 scope tomorrow, I'd stick with the Venom for my needs.
