ARKEN Optics SH-4J Scope Selection

Reasons to Purchase an Arken Optics Scope

Arken optics opened up shop in 2019. However, just because they are new doesn’t mean they aren’t quality.  

The owner, Michael Reilly, is a retired navy seal. As such, he knows a thing or two about what a quality scope should have. 

Arken Lifetime Warranty

One of the signs that the manufacturer trusts its product quality comes from its warranty. With the Arken lifetime warranty, customers can rest assured that their gear will work correctly or get replaced. 

Precision Tracking Guaranteed

The other mark of a quality scope comes from the reticle's ability to move with turret adjustments, also known as tracking. A scope with on-point tracking makes adjusting for different distances precise, so the crosshairs always line up with the intended target. 

Arken scopes not only track well, but their warranty covers tracking. So if the scope's tracking isn't up to snuff, they will take it back.  

Extra-Low Dispersion Glass

The extra-low dispersion (ED) glass corrects color defects caused by light wavelengths not converging. It allows shooters to see long-range targets with clarity. 

Arken's First Focal Plane 

Arken's Optics also has a first focal plane (FFP). In an FFP the reticle sits in front of the magnification lens of the optic. This positioning allows the reticle to increase and decrease its size with the magnification turrets. 

Zero stop

Lastly, the zero stop on this scope stops the elevation turret at zero, so the shooter doesn't need to remember the turret setting.
