Overall, but yes the glass starts to pull away when you put it in a mirage situation.
8 mil turrets on the Arken and 10 on the SE, locking with a lower profile which is nice when dialing from prone, the Arken turrets are tall and loud, I have to break form and put my hand on top of the turret to crank them and the SE I'm able turn them with my thumb and index finger while my palm is resting on the parallax knob, not breaking position hardly at all. Something I notice with more thought out tactical scopes. Overall though, if I had 350$ and I needed a scope, I'm definitely getting the Arken over the swfa.

I will do this when I get the scope, it is supposed to be delivered in a couple of days. I've attached a You Tube video that helped convince me to pick up this scope. I bought this scope to put on my Ruger 77/22 that I have tricked out a bit. My son has one on his Ruger 10/22 that has a Kidd barrel and a bunch of other parts that are manufactured by Volquartsen on it. He has this scope zeroed in at 100 yards and has the trajectory of the .22 long rifle ammo figured out so he can dial the scope out to hit 8 inch steel plates at 200 and 300 yards on a calm day; and....then dial the scope right back to zero again. He just ordered another Arken, 4-16MOA scope for his AR, this will be interesting. This is not what I consider a high-end scope, however for around $400 (on a special sale) I believe it is worth every penny. One thing that I did find was that 34mm scope rings for a Ruger 77/22 are like finding chicken's teeth!!! I had to purchase an adapter to install a picatinny rail into the existing integral scope bases in the receiver, and I did purchase Arken's rings. If you Google Arken Optics You Tube there's a lot of videos on these scopes. I found one You Tube video where an Arken was being installed on a Barrett rifle. This attached video is one that my son sent to me. What impressed me was how the guy in the video torture tested the adjustments at the end of the video and the scope came back to zero. For me it will be a "matter of time" before I know just how good this scope is.

I can get a Vortex Strike Eagle 6-24 x50 for 299.99 2ond focal plane.
New one's are 1st focal plane 5-25x56 for 699.99 with 34mm scope tube.
Maybe the last years 6-24 won't be as sharp as the new ones.
I just may have to look hard at the Arken

I haven't looked through one, but looking online I can say I wish it had a less busy reticle.
For real or a joke?If for real where?
Thats why I like my VX lll 6.5-20X50 fine duplex.No clutter
@Old rooster. The #GOBRANDON for $100 of Arken scopes is real. They have sent out a couple emails with this code. The last email I received from them said you can share the code with friends and family. I believe you enter the code at checkout.

I couldn't tell you anything about the 6-24 models. I only have experience with the 5-25 ffp Strike eagle. I will say, I need another scope for a rifle, and I could easily sell this brand new strike eagle and buy two more Arkens, but Im not…
It's for real. I just bought one this week and used GOBRANDON and got $100 off the scope. It is good until the end of December I believe?? I actually had difficulty putting the code into the site when I ordered the scope, called the company who said to text any messages. I texted the company, and received a "refund" of $100 from the original invoice the same day that I sent the text.
Sorry it is the 4-24x50 strike eagle.
