Rex's FIRST LOOK at the new EP8 1-8x28 FFP LPVO - 34mm Tube LPVO from Arken Optics. Use code "REX" to MATCH their BEST DEAL online! Here is the link: bit.ly/RexReviews
The LPVO has long since earned its place, bridging the gap from holographic/ red-dot types to high magnification optics not traditionally well suited in CQC situations. With ever increasing capability, the LPVO has become a staple allowing tactical teams and competitive shooters to get the most out of any particular member, instantly. The EP8 1-8’s thin edges and wide FOV make this true 1X perfect for close quarters, with a quick throw of the lever to 8X increasing effective range at a moments notice.
Reticle Details:
Evaluation of the KL-BOX BDC reticle here: • How to ZERO a BDC Reti...
KL Box ('KL'= 'Known Length'. Pronounced: "KILL BOX") This incredibly intuitive, patent pending BDC reticle was designed to increase effectiveness under high stress environments. The outside numbers extending diagonally below centerline correlate to distance in yards.
'Frame and Fire!"
By framing a silhouette target in the appropriate KL box, the user is able to rapidly identify distance by simultaneously using shoulder width and torso height to calculate point of aim. With combat effectiveness in mind, this reticle allows for easy interpolation for any distance within the intended operational limits of a 1-8 allowing the user to acquire and process information faster and put effective rounds down range.

Since Arken arised, I was waiting for different magnifications. This one with low profile turrets should be a "killer". Wait for mil/mil version and other magnifications like 3/12 or 2/10. And....hello Arken.....when are you going to sell these in Europe ?

@SavageShooters 8 месяцев назад
Well just received my EP-8 in the mail today and have spent the last 20-30 minutes "scoping out" the neighborhood. This is my first Arken and I have to say I'm a little disappointed and underwhelmed thus far. Not sure what the norm is for Arken, but I have a sneaky suspicion that they sent me out someone else's return as the box wasn't sealed, the plastic sleeve containing the scope wasn't sealed up or rubber banded closed, there was no desiccant packet in the box or sleeve, and there was no battery for the IR or owners manual, warranty card, etc. Not a huge deal, but doesn't give one the best first impression of the company. Additionally, while I had my doubts about the reticle going into the purchase it's far worse than I had anticipated. At 1x it's all but useless w/o the IR activated as the horseshoe all but disappears, and at 10x the central precision aiming dot is still too small and the overly thick horseshoe pulls your eye to it instead. The reticle scaling would probably be just fine in a 4-16x or 6-24x, but it's way too small at both ends of the magnification in this 1-8x.

How far is the eye relief distance? Would it work on dangerous game rifles ? Where the scope must be mounted forward ABOUT a foot from your eye because of great recoil from big boomer cartridges?

Nice, I think the next step for optic manufacturers to step up their game is to produce an optic that has etched values (EV) into their turrets. One never know if one is in a situation where their turret values are subjected to something that can cause the values to fade away from the turrets.

I don't know how to use this one. Or mine for that matter, but I'm about to start training. I like the built in throw lever. I'm messing around with the vortex throw lever for mine, and then there's another one that is form fitting from a different manufacturer, I might get.

Everything you've recommended in the past that I personally used has always worked out and been exactly what I hoped I was getting. For some people $400-600 may be a budget optic but for other's is the absolute most they can afford. In today's world you can get a reliable, durable and quality optic for that price point. It may not be the cat's ass but I just need something that will reliably give me a quality sight picture for 300 yards and in that will put the bullet where I want it to go. That said is a cat's ass really worth all the hype 🤣

I see the number 4 - 8 on the reticle, probably means 400 - 800 yards. But what should be this reticle zero at, for this reticle to work? 100 or 200 yard zero? Arken should include a downloadable user guide on their website to inform potential customers. I personally prefer a reticle that uses a 200 yard zero, because its trajectory is much closer to a 25 yd zero, compare to a 100 yard zero reticle... but many scope on the market uses reticle designed for 100 yard zero, since 100 yard shooting ranges is the most common in USA.

Rex I could barely make out the center dot with the illum all the way up in this video even with could cover which would be a huge deal breaker for me. How was in for you actually looking through it on a bright sunny day?

It's etched glass man.... On a bright sunny day the etched reticle is perfectly visible with 0 brightness.

@@TerminalM193 I know that, but you can not see the center of it on 1x which would be tricky to use it at 1x. Might be better in person, which is why I asked Rex. Do you have one of these?

@@dtnc556 I have probably 5 LPVO's now, cheapest being a PA sfp slx and nicest being either my trijicon 1-6 Vcog or Delta Stryker 1-6x.... Trained hard with them in both low light & super bright conditions. What I've found with all of them is that there's no need for "aimpoint bright" illumination when it comes to etched reticles. Even my PA is far from being daylight bright but still, even during high noon I don't need the max setting brightness or even any kind of added brightness whatsoever to easily distinguish the reticle, nomatter the color grade of the object I'm aiming at. Personally, if dot brightness is of any priority then I reccomend just going with a decent RDS + magnifier. Other than that your options are LPVO'S that incorporate internal fiberoptics like the Vortex pst or delta Stryker but the you're forced to use the extremely basic cross reticle design due to how the fiberoptic acts inside the glass. With these methods you're now having to take major compromises from reticle & bdc design or compromised 1x OR 6-8x. If the center 1x is that important then going with a good RDS is a much better option. If any magnification is needed then just slap on a magnifier. Honestly, the best "do all" optic out there is the elcan but those sucker's are exspensive. If magnification is of equal importance then go the acog route with piggyback OR offset rds.

Ordered my on 29Jul.’23, arrived 23Oct.’23. Arken’s website stated a 6week lag, whatever. I ordered the cantilever mount, the torque specs. are printed on the mount, (no worries) I can mount a piece of glass. It would have been nice to have some kind of Printed specs for the Scope, nope. Last kicker, I looked on the bottom of the scope Body, and there was the 3 print words I’ve been trying to avoid for more that 2 decades (Made in China). And the thing didn’t even have a battery. I should have stayed with Vortex,,,,,,,

Blue loctite is how ya do it - torque to spec and youre good - make sure you level your reticle first - i am a gunsmith and my favorite way to level the reticle is an old school trick - drop a plumb bob from a nail on the wall - put the rifle in your bench vice and shine a light backward through the scope - make your vertical match the plumb line and your golden

Why in God’s name would an up and coming optics company go backwards in technology to make a scope for the handful of special people like you shooting scout scopes. There is zero market for this, but again, your special.
