    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.

    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.

    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!

    I have 4 Athlon scopes and have never had an issue with them very clear glass and perfect tracking , I would highly recommend Athlon .

    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!

      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.

  • @BROTUNED
    @BROTUNED 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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

  • @TheOverlyHackeled
    @TheOverlyHackeled 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    @e.l.robbins5614 4 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    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

  • @petersimonson2169
    @petersimonson2169 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

  • @rapidrrobert4333

  • @Fister_of_Muppets
    @Fister_of_Muppets 4 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

    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.

    @manuvirk4814 3 ปีที่แล้ว +6

    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.

  • @tyronekim3506
    @tyronekim3506 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    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.

    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

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.

Took 9 weeks to show up but after taking it out to the range on my 300WM bergara, I immediately ordered another for my 243 remmington 770. Really cant go wrong with the arken.

    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.

    Awesome comparison, thanks Joe! Which would you choose for hi mag sight picture: the Argos BTR or the EP 5? Thanks Joe. My wife, myself, and three out of my five daughters love to put your channel on the living room flat panel and go through these videos. We are really entertained by your style 😁.

      The EP5 . It’s not by a huge margin . But it’s better

      Thanks, Joe. My Athlon is not a gen2 and I wanted to know how much the optics improved with gen2.

    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

    Since I can get the Athlon Argos Gen 2 delivered to my door for $250, I guess I'll stick with it. Something you overlooked Joe, is the no receipt required, no questions asked, multi-lifetime warranty that Athlon makes available.

    Good video. Clear and not drawn out for 40 minutes. Appreciate. But there sure is a lot of opinions on the clarity of the glass for the Helix. you rated as slightly substandard and others rave about it. It would sure be nice to get some sort of general agreement.

      When some videos are sponsored, and some aren’t , the opinions will vary 😂

    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.

    Great information Joe. Thanks for always putting out wholesome content. I liked your hookers and liquor analogy.

    I have the Bushnell Match Pro. I just love it and I’ve had a lot of other high power scopes. I’ve had an Arken on backorder since December 7th, at the time I ordered it it was 2 weeks out. Feels like I’ll never get it. I should add Bushnell had the illuminated Match Pro in stock at the KC warehouse when I was there after black Friday. They are direct only because they needed it to compete on price with other direct to consumer models.
