Arken Optics rifle scopes

Arken Optics is particularly known for its FFP rifle scopes, where the reticle is located in the First Focal Plane. In an FFP rifle scope, the reticle’s proportions increase and decrease along with the magnification, allowing the reticle’s measurement features to remain constant at different magnifications.

Arken’s range includes several different magnification ranges and applications. Depending on the magnification, a rifle scope can be chosen for, for example, long-range shooting, hunting, or faster dynamic shooting.

Arken EP-5 – precision for long-range shooting

The Arken EP-5 is a precision rifle scope from Arken's EP series, designed specifically for shooters seeking accuracy and long-range performance.

The EP-5's 5-25x magnification range, 56 mm objective, FFP construction, illuminated VPR reticle, and Arken Zero Stop make it a versatile option for long-range shooting.

The EP-5 uses a 34 mm main tube and features adjustable tactical turrets. This model is suitable for shooters who need a wide magnification range and precise adjustments as shooting distances increase.

Arken EP-5 GENII – a new generation for long-range shooting

Arken LH-4 and LH-6 – rifle scopes for hunting

The Arken LH series is designed specifically for hunting and field use.

The LH-4 4-16x44 FFP is a lightweight hunting rifle scope with an illuminated VPR/VHR reticle and protected, tool-less turrets.

The LH-6 1-6x24 SFP LPVO, in turn, offers a wide range of use for shorter and medium shooting distances. The LPVO structure combines low magnification for fast target acquisition with higher magnification for more precise aiming.

According to Arken, the LH series is designed specifically for hunters who need lightweight and practical optics for varied terrain.

Arken OUTRIDER – hunting rifle scopes

The Arken OUTRIDER is Arken's newer hunting rifle scope series. The OUTRIDER is designed for the hunter who needs versatile optics for various shooting distances and terrains.

The range currently includes, for example:

• OUTRIDER 2-12x42 SFP

• OUTRIDER 3-18x50 SFP

The OUTRIDER 2-12x42 offers a wide field of view at low magnification and higher magnification for more precise shots. The OUTRIDER 3-18x50 offers even more magnification for open terrain and longer shooting distances.

The models feature, among other things, adjustable parallax and adjustable elevation, and are available with an illuminated FDR or a non-illuminated DLR reticle.

Arken EP-8 – LPVO for precision and speed

The Arken EP-8 1-8x28 FFP LPVO is designed for situations where both fast target acquisition and the precision offered by higher magnification are needed.

The EP-8's 1-8x magnification range allows for use at low magnification for fast shooting and at higher magnification for more precise shots.

The EP-8 features an FFP structure, an illuminated KLGRID or KLBOX reticle, and a 34 mm main tube. A rifle scope + mount bundle is also available.

FFP rifle scope or SFP rifle scope?

When choosing a rifle scope, one of the most important features is the position of the reticle.

FFP, or First Focal Plane, means that the reticle changes with the magnification. The proportions of the reticle remain relative to the image, which is why FFP is particularly popular in long-range shooting and precision shooting.

SFP, or Second Focal Plane, means that the reticle remains the same size when the magnification is changed. SFP can be practical, for example, in hunting and in situations where a fast and clear reticle is important.

Arken's range includes both options, so a suitable rifle scope can be chosen according to the intended use.

Arken Zero Stop – repeatable adjustments

Many Arken Optics rifle scopes use the Arken Zero Stop (AZS) system. Zero Stop acts as a mechanical stop that allows the rifle scope's adjustments to be returned quickly and repeatably to zero.

Zero Stop is particularly useful in long-range shooting, where elevation adjustments are frequently changed for different shooting distances and one wants to return the settings quickly to the original zero point.

VPR and VHR reticles

Arken rifle scopes are available with different reticle options depending on the intended use.

The VPR reticle is designed specifically for precision shooting. The reticle provides measurement information for making holdover and windage corrections, making it suitable for, for example, long-range shooting.

The VHR reticle, in turn, is designed for faster target acquisition and for practical hunting and dynamic shooting.
