Arken Optics EP-5 5-25x56

Outstanding Value: The Arken EP-5 5-25x56 delivers an exceptional quality-to-price ratio, offering premium features usually found in scopes well above its price class. This makes it one of the best tactical riflescopes available under €1000.

Mechanical Precision: The scope features precise, tactile turrets with 10 MIL / 25 MOA per revolution, hard zero stop, and Arken’s AZS Zero Stop System. The clicks are audible and tactile, allowing accurate adjustment without needing to look. With 32 MIL elevation and 16 MIL windage travel, it stands out as the best mechanical performer in its class.

Excellent Optics: The EP-5 features Japanese-made glass with high light transmission, sharp resolution, and minimal distortion. The image remains clear and sharp edge-to-edge, supported by a large 56 mm objective lens and a comfortable 86 mm eye relief. The image quality is well above average for this price range.

True Tactical Performance: The FFP VPR reticle is available in MIL or MOA and provides accurate holdovers across the entire zoom range. The scope includes red illumination with 6 brightness levels and can be used with calibers up to .338, and even withstands recoil up to .50 BMG.

Durable but Heavy: The EP-5 is slightly on the heavy side due to its solid construction, but this is acceptable considering its performance. It is shockproof, waterproof, nitrogen-purged, and designed to withstand extreme field conditions.

ABOUT THE EP5 SERIES

ABOUT THE MODEL (ARKEN EP-5 5-25x56)

The Arken EP-5 5-25x56 is a short MIL-MIL tactical riflescope built with a 34 mm main tube and an objective lens diameter of 56 mm. It features a fast-focus eyepiece, red illumination (6 levels), and a zoom ratio of 5x. The outer objective diameter measures 66 mm, and the overall design prioritizes field durability and turret integrity.

Optically, the scope offers a field of view of 8.4 m at 5x and 1.63 m at 25x. The reticle is first focal plane (FFP), either MIL or MOA, and holds true to clicks throughout the zoom range. The reticle's illumination is clear and well-suited for low-light precision. The comfortable eyebox and long eye relief improve usability across all magnifications.

The scope's performance is supported by Japanese glass and USA engineering, with assembly in China to ensure its competitive pricing. Despite the origin, Arken maintains strict quality control and materials comparable to more expensive optics.
