[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2402278, member: 121677"] I have the Gen2 SH4 6-24, I think it is 6-24, anyway it has been solid. I ordered it back when it had a 8-10 week lead and it took over 24 weeks to get it, that was frustrating. I shoot it side by side with my Razor Gen 1 5-20 and the glass in the Arken is hands down better in ALL light conditions. In low light the difference is even greater. It tracks just as well as the Razor too. It does tunnel in low power, for me it doesn't flatten out the image until its up to 8-9x but unless illuminated the reticle is useless below 10X anyway? My Razor doesn't tunnel but I think that is where it's advantages end. Weight is similar, size is similar, features are similar. I prefer it over the gen1 Razor by a lot. The Arken so far will do everything I need or want to do with a rifle, other than being heavy which I knew when I ordered it I really can't give it an honest complaint other than tunneling at low power. My Tract Toric (tunnels at low power also) and Leupold Mk4's I think are brighter and clearer and overall better scopes but I wonder if they are 4+ times better? I am thinking my next scope will be another Tract but I couldn't tell anyone not to get the Arken. [/QUOTE]
