Arken EP-5 Long Distance Target Glassing out to 1 mile.

Target viewing with the EP5 at 550y, 1000y and 1 mile.

In this video i focus the Arken Optics EP5 out to one full mile and let the user view the target from a stationary setting. Users are prompted to consider the nature of filming through a scope and presented barriers of cameras. Users are encouraged to view through an actual scope and adjust all focus controls to the individual eye. EP5 Optic is given a great view for clear glass and accurate tracking.

What some people don't understand is that this is a budget scope that performs .. it not better than a 3000+ scope no .. but every one that could be interested in shooting can't afford a 3000+-scope n is ridiculous to push people to buy something that is not needed to enjoy the sport...6 years ago you could only buy a good UTG ..for that money..n now $550 could buy you this..is a great step forward on optics..

So far I'm REALLY enjoying this optic. Can't wait to get it out on the range. Thank you for the videos. Enjoying your content.

Excellent video. Simple, short and concise yet very informative. Nice!!!

[StatePeach]

Thanks for the thorough review. Really appreciate the reference photos at the end!! Just bough two of them.

I couldn't believe how massive these scopes are. I just bought two of them and compared to my vortex viper this thing is huge. Can't wait to go shooting with it. My only complaint is the eye box. It's exactly 3.4 inches no less no more.

Thanks for the review. In strict terms of optical quality, I can be confident taking shots at those distances with something with a far lesser quality. But what is most important is the tracking and accuracy of the turret adjustments and accuracy of the reticle. This scope is very clear at this cost. I would just need it to track as it should.

What kind of scope sleeve is that on the bell? and what is it for? Thanks

[Jeff_Seely]

Thank you for performing this test. I am considering this rifle scope for a 28 Nosler ELR build. The two most important features are that it must have is the ability to hold zero over higher recoil and it has to have an accurate high internal adjustment. Nice glasses nice but it is not critical. Also I was hoping for a thinner crosshair and this reticle is rather busy. I wish it were offered in SFP. I'm still considering it and if I buy it and it can't hold zero, it's going back.

Ive followed dozens of these reviews on the Arken....99% of them very positive with hundreds if not thousands of happy owners enjoying and being very happy with the quality of these scopes using them for their intended uses and ranges out to 1000yds. What I've noticed is that in every review in the comments section ive noticed the same people calling the scopes down....to me it seems they're nothing more than equipment snobs who absolutely hate the fact that other shooters are enjoying their various shooting disciplines using a model of scope that fits their budget and enables their owners to participate in the same same disciplines that the haters do using their scopes costing 2/3 thousand dollars more! 😂

Recently noticed, that if you have a day where the mirage is mild it will help. On a day with lots of mirage it almost won’t matter how well your glass is when it come to fine detail

[Elias.Barney]

what is that fabric thing you have on the scope i want one what are they called

[billalcantar]

Great Great Great video ! Very very helpful . Thank You

[MrHawaiian]

What's the name of that sleeve you got on your scope and where can I get it?

[voltron_]

I just ordered the EP5 few hours ago. I wont be doing anything long distance shooting with it. I will be using it (along with my few other Arken scopes) on my PCP air rifles. For the money, I think Arken hits it out of the ball park on the first pitch!! Although I hope they'd come out with the EP5 in 50mm objective.

[toddparsons]

Thanks for doing this. You make have already but can you talk about the illumination? From what I've heard and seen its illumination sucks.

[senster]

Did you have any issues with the parallax at the long range distances? Many others complained they had issues with the parallax with this scope.

[josephsawicki]

cant watch 7 minutes talking about cameras?

[belekbaiyr]

[scot]

Ok so bob, twist the turrets to the upper and lower ends of travel and tell us about the quality of the view vs the sh4, you will be surprised, make sure you go alittle left and right wen near ends of travel

[rhensley]
