Please show some decorum and respect for a simple question. It was NOT my intent to start a quarrel. MTG Vena dura, ocyus occide, excusas non offer!

As I mentioned earlier, It needs to have decent glass, track well, return to zero, have illumination, preferably 30mm, FFP. No matter where I look I keep reading try the Pacific rim countries and Japan. I would rather not buy a scope made in china. I know this is an Arken thread. But what are some other options available? Apples to apples comparison please. I already own Trijicon credo's, Leupold VX5 HD and VH6 HD's, Vortex, Had a couple of Zeiss scopes, I have owned many more. I would really like to get nightforce. But I have been retired for some time now. Fixed income sucks when buying toys. So again, I will reiterate, apples to apples comparison please. Including the affordable price point.

OP MTGunner Campfire Regular M Joined: May 2008 Posts: 1,699 NW Montana	My last Leupold scope had to be returned for repair twice. THEN, it was sold. I have looked at SWFA. Quite frankly I do not want to spend a lot of $$$ on a scope I will use infrequently. Can I afford an expensive scope? Yes! Can I justify an expensive scope? NO! The Arken line has been suggested by a very experienced handgun shooter/hunter. This is the reason of my initial posted question regarding the Arken line. BTW, I have many older Leupold USA manufactured scope. The older ones still perform well. The newer ones I have little confidence. Also own a few Burris scopes that perform well. But, inquiring about Arken. It is NOT my intent to start a quarrel. Merely looking for information. MTG Vena dura, ocyus occide, excusas non offer!

Everything but the internals,are superb. Waiting on a GrandBaby to get dropped off and will try to get warm/fuzzy in said scope's regard,before it gets yanked to ride the pine. 338 Twat-Six formed Lapooey,230 ELD Smooches at 2600fps. Hint. My Reupold MK4 and MK5 HD's are total fhuqking garbage. Hint. Vortex has never made anything worth a fhuqk. Hint. I'm thinking I'll grab a Zeiss LRP S3 425-50,if only for the 46.5 Mil erector,for LR Rimfire Pursuits. Hint. NightFarce has long had a grip on guts,but struggled with reticles,especially FFP. I suffer a few and am in love with their NX8 1-8x with FFP DM-X reticle,as it's fhuqking amazing. The 2.5-10x is close to great,but fhuqking SFP Mil-R. Thinking about tossing a NX8 2.5-20x F1 Mil-XT on a Montucky Six Twat-Six. I hate their fhuqking push button bullschit illumination "control" and MUCH prefer a rheostat ala 1-8x. Hint. It's actually fairly fhuqking amazing,how many Manufacturers botch optics and how squarely Barkin' Arken NAILS same. Hint. Just sayin'...............

Great platform to hand guests and simply say "connect dots",so they can blow their own minds. Hint. Just sayin'.............

I'm unaware of a Barkin' Arken 1-10,but have their 1-8x LPVO and it's sound. Front and center here. Hint. Just sayin'..................... yes correct it's 1-8 I guess my mind went blank when put 1-10 thanks for the input and correction
