I received my Arken SH4 gen2 last Friday’ I received it almost 8 weeks to the day that I ordered it and let me tell you it was worth the wait. I paid $399 shipped to m door no tax. I didn’t email or call them to find out when it was coming they said 8 weeks and It came in 8 weeks and 1 day. Its a badass scope that out performs my strike eagle. Thanks again Joe.
I keep telling guys they are worth the wait 🍻
I have a 20 moa base, any idea what height rings I should get? Thanks for any help
No shock at all that it outperforms the Vortex!
I ordered one also should be next couple weeks!
I ordered mine as of several of my friends and we are all anxiously at that T minus 8 weeks and nervously awaiting our email and tracking numbers!
Joe is my favorite go-to scope guy. Straight on and zero bullshit
Nobody mentions eye relief, one of the most important things in a scope to me.
Thats one of the best no bs, believable review I have seen in long time. Glad I waited to get scope's for my new AR's. Whittled it down to a select few and enlightened me to different manufacturers. Thank you sir, your great.
Thanks Rick
Great video Joe. I think this price category is really where the excitement gets real for most people. Some people don't want to spend above it, and others find out the hard way how quality suffers if they cheap-out below these as well. The Blackhound, Arken, and Tac Vector scopes really are the ones doing it for me lately.
Bravo ... I love your honesty. I bought two Match Pros after your video reviews, and I don't regret a single cent spent.
Wow! This is what I've been waiting for. Thank you very much Joe...I got my Riton delivered yesterday...Cheers😊😊😊😁😁😁🍻🍻🍻
Thanks for the unbiased review. It's been my experience that most scopes give pretty good image during daylight but when the sun goes down, tells a different story, especially at high magnification. I would appreciate in your future scope reviews taking into account the image quality in less than ideal lighting condition.
Great review! This was the exact topic I was looking for. I was wavering between the Arlen and the Bushnell. You sold me on the Arken. I received it in about 10 days. I used your code as well. Thx!
Bout the BEST video you've made so far. The comparisons was on point, exactly what we're looking for!
Thanks Man . I have been asked this question a ton of times . Seemed like a logical move
From a fellow product reviewer I appreciate your unbiased approach and comparing specs. I'm going to have to look into Arken
I've had, have, or used most of these scopes on this list, Joe's spot on here guys. I've still got two Arkens, a Riton , Athlon, and Black Hound. Great review Joe. 1/3 of an inch? That ain't what she said. Lol
Hands down most informative optics channel out there. You have the best comparison of scopes to help people decide on their purchase. Great great channel!!!
Thanks for that
Joe,
Watched your review on the Arken SH4Gen 2 befor this and asked how it stacked up next to the Element Helix. Then not 10 min later you posted this video and answered ALL my questions not just on the 2 scopes I mentioned but on several others that were on my " take a look at " list!
It like we were having a beer and I asked you the question and you said "well here's what I think" .
Like I said in the other post you are the GoTo reviewer on scopes in the industry .You sort through the Bullshit and shake out the turds from the diamonds .Thanks for being a stand up guy and giving us good Intel.
It's.
Man it's my pleasure !
Good video Joe. I'm going to be needing another scope this spring . And your input on scopes is a big help.
I got mi Arken last week, it’s amazing, thanks to u I bought it and is like u said , amazing scope
Absolutely great review and comparison. Thanks for the info. 👮🏻♂️👍
Absolutely love your channel. Building my first long range set up and kind of on a budget so you helped me out a ton sir.
I have 4 Athlon scopes and have never had an issue with them very clear glass and perfect tracking , I would highly recommend Athlon .
Is the 6-24 Argos btr good ?
Great review - I I bought a Gen 1 Athlon Argos BTR 6-24x50 in the summer of 2021 and only paid $259 so am very satisfied with it - it's
mounted on a .25 cal PCP air rifle with which I do only target shooting out to 100 yards and absolutely love it. Yes, there are better scopes, but NOT anywhere close to that price range. I find that keeping it to between 16 & 18 power it is the clearest.
Since I don't intend to mount a scope cam, the location of the illumination knob was not an factor - I'd be pleased with this scope even if it didn't have an IR feature.
I enjoy your videos, Joe - keep up the good work.
Thanks Joe! I was looking for something a bit less expensive for another rifle and I picked the Arken sh-4 because of this video! It’s very nice for the price
Black hound ... since I am clumsy.... if it’s indestructible, sounds like a home run....thanks Joe, thanks for posting this video!
Another honest video, that's why I love the Cyclops channel. Thanks for the review. I'm buying the Arken.
Thank you. Always look forward to your advice.
Full of information. Awesome review. Thank you. I appreciate you and much respect.
Like the honest and thorough content Joe. Thank you!
Hey always like your videos.
I really like the wood to mount scope you posted the other day. Thanks again
Your videos are FANTASTIC!!! No BS, honest opinions and VERY informative!!! Have a Bergara B-14 Wildness on layaway so I’m about to order my Arken. Will get it about same time as I pick my rifle up. Keep the GREAT videos coming, I’m a new subscriber and ALL your videos just blow me away.
Wow , thanks for that man !!!
Thanks Joe I think your picks were righton no pun intended. Thanks for sharing
Great job Joe love the comparison I now own 3 Arken and love them
I made a purchase based on your recommendations. Great choice, very happy! I bought the Athlon Argos Gen 2 6-24 X 50. I was looking for a second focal plane but had some issues finding some of the others not being available. I been out 4 times with it mounted on a new CZ 457 Varmint. Awesome setup! Thank you for the advice.
Thanks Jim
Awesome comparison videa Joe, and thanks for your honesty bro!
guys i bought the bushnell. i have it on my 6.5 creed and i love that thing. i had my mind made up on arken but after seeing the wait i went the other way. im 45 and have to wear glasses to read...and at 8x i can see 8in plate at 500 with ease. i just got into this long range and can only imagine how much nicer some of those way more exspensive scopes must look down range. thanks for all your effort Joe!
That Bushnell is a Win we no Doubt !
Me too, I have it on my long range 6.5 Creed, and my precision .22 CZ chassis rifles and I consider them to be the best for the buck available. Sorry, but I just can't spend the big bucks for my outfit. By the way, I can still shoot sub MOA all the way out with my Howa 1500.
Awesome comparison! You are right! Thus video will answer a lot of questions to a lot of people! Thanks for putting this together!!
Tha ks Buddy
I recently purchased an Element scope and I must say you are right about the glass quality. I am not too fussy or over critical a person but the glass of my Bushnell trophy which is almost half the price is definitely better than Element. Wish I had seen your review earlier and had purchased an Arken.
Bought the blackhound based on your videos. Used your discount also. The packaging is fenomal and scope feels awesome. Will probably order another one.
They are a great company
Thumbs up!! Honestly is always golden.
Thanks!!!!
Candor, something we lack in government, news media, and so called half of the country right now. But this guy is NO BULLSHIT.
Thank you for your CANDOR Good Sir.
Thanks Brandon
Always appreciate your videos.
Bought a 6 by 24. Just got it so I haven’t shot it yet. BUT ITS A BEAST. Positive audible clicks. Arken all day long. Thanks Joe!
Joe, I like your honesty in the reviews.
I order the black hound
Great customer service. Thanks James
Great video! Keep up the good work.
Great review. If you say its good, i believe you . I admire your integrity and no nonsense approach.
Thanks Roy
Keep bringing the honest truth Joe not all of us can afford the big bucks it takes to get decent optics.
Thumbs up review. Honest and accurate.
Thanks Joe, have the Riton X3 .... Love it, great dawn & dusk performance. Use on my Sig Cross 308
Great review and spot on about the Riton scope
Badass man. True to your calling ☑️☑️ great video and great content as usual.. 💯💪🏻
Sounds like the exact same question I asked you back in October. I understand why it’s right about the range you start getting quality stuff between 300 and 500. Everybody makes a bum scope from time to time with the different hands involved up to and including assembly it’s just going to happen it’s what happens next that makes a scope company great
Yep
Another certified bad ass video Joe. Keep up the good work. Great plug for the guys at Riton. I really like their business story. For anyone who wants to take pride in their scope because of the people that made it and support an American startup company, this is the scope for you. Check out their podcast video at Riton optics on TH-cam.
wish there was reviewer of your integrity in the air gun world. getting a new gun and scope. am going with the arken because of you and my trust in your recommendations.
I have a few of those scopes,
gotta say that Athlon is better than a my vortex pst,
for the money can't beat it.
Primary very solid as well.
I appreciate the review, the audience in this price range is huge. So you have a lot of people's attention.
Nice channel you run.
Thank You
Great review Joe 🍻👍💪✔🤘
That's for the information Joe your the best my friend
Another Great Video...Under 500$...The Best ....Alot People Dont Have The $$ Right Now...Joe You Came Through Again...Thanks Man...One Of The Best Videos ...Thanks Again Man
Thanks William
Great video again Joe
Thanks for the video Joe.
You missed a big one...The Hawke Airmax 6-24x50 in SFP they even make a compact version too. Good stuff Joe thanks for thinking of us common folk.
Yeah man , I haven't had enough hawkes to use them in the comparison
Great video! Thanks for the info.
Love your honest opinion.
Thanks Joe, great video again... I got a Riton X1 for under $200 and put it on my RPR 22lr and its a great scope 👍 still waiting for my Arken!
It'll be worth the wait on the Arken . Riton is putting out some really good stuff !
Can't wait to see what the Arken is like... Very impressed with the Riton X1, might have to get another!!
Once again ,thank you for your well researched video. Also for answering a question that I was going to ask Arken Optics about. That being what's up with my scope purchase. I ordered six weeks ago. I am looking forward to getting it mounted on my Bergara HMR for a predator hunt.
Give it about two more weeks . It'll be worth the wait
Love the honesty
THIS IS WHAT THE PEOPLE NEED!!!
Bien hecho, good sir. This is what’s up!
Thanks Buddy
This video convinced me to pick up 2 of the scopes on the list I have the blackhound optics 4-14x44 moa and the athlon Argos btr gen 2 8-34x56 and run them on both of my long range 6.5 creedmoor builds and they both do a great job
What do you recommend over the other the blackhound or the athlon?
I like the blackhound overall I ended up selling the Athlon to pick up another blackhound I prefer the reticle on them more
Keep up the good work you doing honest good job
Shared this with all the Kinfolk in the hills of kentucky! love it bub :)
Thanks for that
Very nice video indeed. Thank you for all the effort Joe...
Thank You
My Riton Conquer X1 is pretty good for the 180$ I paid for it. It’s on my SK-19 in .25 cal PCP rifle and holds zero very well. Take care big guy.
Kentucky fan love the videos man.
Tha ks Mike
Cyclops is the only channel I turn to when I need to get a review on different optics on the fly. I realize that joe says don’t take his word for any of the reviews that he does, but let’s face it, he is the best of the best when it comes to scope reviews. He’s the Hickok45 of riflescopes!!
Lol , thanks man
Always love seeing your vids bro!
Thanks Buddy
great work joe
I just received my Arken. Took 6 weeks. It was worth the weight. I did not order it through your site so you'll have to buy your own large soda. LOL . It's heavy. My Savage Tactical 110 with the scope is 13 lbs. But I don't care . I really like my Arken. I enjoy your reviews. Cheers from Canada.
THANK YOU JOE!
Best scopes comparison, bar none.... Love you Joe...!!!
Thank You
Great video! IMO 500 and under is a great range for NRL 22 Base class. This was very helpful!
Thanks Man !!!!
This is why i love this channel, HONESTY!💜💚❤💗👍👍👍
Thank You
Good stuff man.
The comparison Ive been waitin for. 🌮🌯🍺 Good to see youre not in jail after the other nyte, Joe.👍🇺🇸🖖😁😂🤣😂🤣
Great video buddy, im just about a buyer for the Arken.
Great video review Joe
Thanks
I run nightforce. Need another scope for a rifle. But I’m running out of arms and legs to get another nightforce! Maybe will try one of those athlons. Thx!
I've got to try 1 of these thanks
You get a thumbs up for the disclosure thanks man.
No bullshit, this was a great review! Never looked through an element, but the glass quality rating surprised me. Think an athlon or arken is in store for me.
Love your videos.❤
Thank you
Awesome video Joe!! Folks, over the years I've been burnt so many times on cheap scopes. However, must of these scopes Joe is talking about are flat out amazing. Y'all take care, flea
I just got my arkens in today. Worth the wait definitely.
They ROCK
I have a Vortex Diamondback 6 x 24 x 50 and so far I am fairly please with it. I would really like a Zero stop, but it's all about the money. I havn't been able to use it all that much yet so time will tell. I do enjoy your video's and respect your opinion. Keep the videos coming and I'll let you know more about my diamondback as I use it more. d
Damn cold here in Michigan so I am not going out much
11 months later, do you like that Vortex?
When I first got into pellet guns a few years ago I wanted a cheap scope to start off with, got a scope a airgun company recommend for a low price and i hated everyhing about the scope, and just set it to 25 yards on the springer and called it good till it broke 200 shots in. Utg screwed me on their warranty, took forever to get it back and then tried to tell me my scope was fine even thought the retical was about 20° off from level. But after me insisting it was bad they sent me a new one, got a FX pcp and soon found the utg wouldn't hold zero from in and out of case. Watched your videos and found myself stuck on 2 scopes, the Arken and Blackhound. And my only deciding factor on the scope was I was so SICK of my utg and I just couldn't deal with IT for the 2 months it would take to get a Arken and got the Blackhound. Just got it last week and might be too soon to say, since I just got it mounted up and going to zero tomorrow, think I'm loving it. Magnification ring, turrets and illuminate are tight. But its only been played with a few times, I have a feeling after a few go arounds she's gonna relax and loosen up just right. Also the provided levels aren't..... ugh.... level with one another or my other levels i got at home, but I'm not heart broken over that. Thanks Joe and keep up the videos, always super informative, and entertaining.
I like it, Joe! Black hound is about 1 hour and 20 minutes away. They may be my next scope.
They kick ass
GREAT video. Thanks for all the information that you share with us on different types of scope. What happened to the SWFA line of scope?
They don't have a sub $500 6-24
Thanks for the video
This has become my favorite channel, and its not because I buy a bunch of scopes. You are a badass cyclops!. Quick question though, have you tried the Alpha line from Monstrum? They make a 6-24x50 ffp Alpha for 159.
No Larry I haven’t tried it , and thanks so much for the compliment
I have the MatchPro on a .308 ar10 and the Athlon on a 6.5 creedmoor ar10. I bought them because they passed Joe's test and they were in stock. I love both scopes and the pros and cons are exactly as Joe stated. No need for your own opinions just trust Joe!
Thanks for that Chris
Great information Joe. Thanks for always putting out wholesome content. I liked your hookers and liquor analogy.
For me the thing that one me over with Blackhound was their customer service. I loved the 4x14 so much I went out and picked up the 1x8 and the 1x4 and am about to pick up the 6x24.
Blackhound Rocks
Would really love a similar 4-16 FFP comparison video.
Great idea
Cabelas covenant 4 in 6-24x50 is a very nice option. Similar glass to vortex viper. Almost as nice as leupold glass. Ffp. Tactile turrets. 239.00 plus tax.. it’s crazy what china glass has become. Quality is amazing for the price. I compare it to my sightron
