Arkin 5-25x56mm EP-5

[41rem]

Considering a gen 2, they run about $500. that's my current top end $ for a turret spinner

Be my 1st 34mm tube scope

Opinions?

For the money, they do a pretty good job.
If something goes down, they should replace it
Chambering of the gun that it will be in?

My experience with Arken was less than desirable. When my 375 Wby destroy a EPL-4 it took forever to get any response from their customer service. These scopes might hold up on a light recoiling rifle for a long time. My replacement they finally sent was put on a 30-30 Win.

Agreed.
I have never perceived them as a good choice for cartridges with that much recoil.
Not that they can't handle more, but for me, I see them as 308 Win and Creed case capacity on down.
I have one on a 6GT and another one on a 20 Tactical-Both specialty pistols.
