I am in the UK and in the process of getting my "license" , this is so useful , thanks Joe

I'd been researching and hunting through so many reviews and reviewers trying to get good solid info and data on a scope. This video was a gold mine of positive info with no BS. Thanks to this and the linked reviews, I just bought an ARKEN with confidence.

Love your reviews. I've bought most of my scopes based on these reviews and haven't been disappointed yet. Your a man of your word. There is no BULL Crap here. It is what you say it is. Thank you.

I bought the Primary Arms 1-6X ACSS based of your review and found it to be everything you said it was. Thanks Joe

Thank you Joe, I love your passion for finding supreme quality at an affordable price, there are a lot of brands there that I have never heard of before and that's testimony to your thoroughly dedicated research.

Because of your videos I’ve bought a Tract 4-20x50, an Athlon 2-12x42, an Arken SH/4 6-24x50 and I’m getting a Riton 3-24x44 Conquest 3 in the near future. You’ve also demonstrated that great Optics doesn’t require a $3000 expenditure. I’m really liking the small direct to consumer sales model that saves a bunch of money and at least with Tract, you call and the owner picks up the phone. Supporting your channel. The money you save me leaves room in the budget. Hey guys, please consider a $25 donation for every scope you buy because of his recommendations.

This is great info for us guys on a budget. Truly appreciate your work Cyclops!

You are by far my favorite scope reviewer. You hit the highlights quick fast and so humorously that even if you were dead assed wrong I'd still watch. Keep'm coming man

Bought my eotech vudu 3.5-18 after watching your video. 100% would never go back. Saw your tracking test and did it with my vudu and vortex razor. Sure enough my vudu was on point while my razor was off by a couple of clicks.

Love to see my loved Tract Toric on your list! People asking me what scope cam I'm using to get that crystal clear images, the answer is not the camera, it's the Tract!

Great video. Love your entertaining, but no BS and straight to the informative point talking style. That is a rare balance if you ask me. Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge.

I've got an iOR Recon G1 and by far it's one of the best scopes out there, that is anything they make. They use Schott glass and they track very well. The optic is crystal clear out to 1k yards (that's as far as I have gone with it) and it's comparable to the S&B in clarity and functionality.

Wanted to say a big thanks! Bought two black hound genesis and now my father in law bought one! Used your code and saved money. I enjoy your channel keep it up!

I picked up an SWFA ultralite for $250 on sale and it's seriously an amazing scope and better than anything in it's class!

Watching your videos is like opening a special present,every time!

Good shit man can't wait to see you put out this year

This channel is really handy for me when it comes to scopes plus I have learned a bunch by watching your videos. I just wanted to say I enjoy your videos and have got somewhat of a education in a lot of different scopes. Thanks.

Cyclops, I have now and I mean right now just now, stumble upon your channel. Man you are by far the greatest reviewer on today. Great video. This was straight to the point, no bull ( S ) just straight up, this is what it is and this is what you are going to be getting for your money. Class is clear good to great optics. Or it's a peace of ( S ). Stay in there my man. You are what is needed for real shooters and others who are hunting in long range places. Or just the guy who he and his friends get together just to go out and throw some lead down range. Thank you. Keep it real, stand tall and keep them tight my man. May continue God Bless you and your .

Awesome information on these scopes.....thanks for the reviews on these affordable scopes.

Thank you for your videos. I know a tad about scopes and long-range shooting to state, "You are quite the expert of your craft." Please, continue your videos, for I find your narrative well-phrased, and filled with insights into all the equipment you inspect for us, your dedicated fans. Happy New Year to you and yours.

Awesome review style man! Great commentary, I don't even hunt but I watch your videos!!

Your damn videos are always informative and being completely uncensored love that shit man!!

Great review as always. Im scope poor and have been selling my leopold's like crazy to upgrade. Number 1 requirement for me is Eye Box and clarity. Hope you talk more about this.

Optic of the year...high praise from the best no bullshit reviewer on YT. Thanks Joe !!

i bought a P.A. 4x14 acss Chervon Reticle $ 249.00 dollars, put it on a Scar heavy, ( .308 ) .......... at 500 m. You can not miss ... i Am totally happy with this optic ......

Haven’t even heard of some of these optics/companies. Good vid...

YOU, are just plain BAD ASS!!! Keep up the great reviews... ✌

Good job. Enjoy your style. Your video helps me a lot. Thanks Cyclops!

Appreciate your comments and man you make me laugh sometimes, OK, most of the time. I kinda go with PA and Leupold most of the time but after further research into TRACT and their BDC app, I've decided to put one of their scopes on my new 6.5 G. Was nice too that as a veteran they gave me a 15% discount. Thanks again Mr. C!

Best Scope Reviewer always entertaining love watching your videos mate.

I have 2 of the Riton gen2 6-24 ×50Ri!! They are FFP and lighted reticle. I've had one on my RPR Gen2 308 for about 2years and just bought another for my RP Rimfire. Japanese glass and Lifetime warranty at an affordable price!!

Accurate, clear view, good magnification. Holds zero on my Ruger 10/22, not sure if it will hold on a .223 or larger caliber.

Liked. Subscribed last night. Thanks. Wish they made one with lighted reticle which I need for dark shooting.

Thanks for the information....I really do enjoy your videos.....You are very good with your explanations and reviews..... I am ignorant to scopes.....Its my first time....You made it easy and enjoyable for me....Great job.....Keep strong!!

I’m fairly new to scopes. I did a search for scopes; and, I came across your channel. My mother gave me her Marlin Model 60; and, I purchased a Pinty 3x9-40 for it. I mounted to the rail; but, I haven’t sighted it in, yet. I’m really thinking I want an LPVO short range scope for 25 - 100 yards. I’m having difficulty figuring what I want to get because I’m not very educated in scopes. I’ve watched two of your videos. It seems your videos might provide me with a bit of information. Thanks

Another top vid Joe. One thing I am envious of is the endless choice of optics you seem to have in the US of A. And the price points seem to be boundless, and the apparent quality there seems to be at all price points, particularly some of the “cheaper ones” is excellent. There seems to be this thing over here wherein, if you don’t pay a squillion dollars for it, it can’t possibly be any good. And that does for scopes, firearms, everything. And if you don’t agree with the people with those opinions, you get crucified fir daring to differ with the experts. Love the Keyboard Cowboys. Keep up the good work.

I see a few of the companies have raised the prices. I appreciate the ones that have not! great video!

Great video. I went with the forge from bushnell and haven’t been happier with their glass

i haven't heard one person say one bad think about the arken. mine should be in within the next few days. good review

Thanks Joe, great video's. If I can say something. Can you maybe make a clarity and field of view test somehow on say 14 magnification. To see the difference between the scopes. That's where great scopes sets the bar higher, with clear glass.

Hey joe, i know i shouldnt comment twice but I've got an idea. Come up with a scoring system and call it !The Cyclops Score! Give like 25 max points for clarity, 25 max for tracking, 25 for focal shift and do on and so fourth! Maybe, hell i don't know, i do know i want a black hound though!

Joe , Great reviews of the scopes you showed, really like and have 3 of the ones you did, and luv to try out the Arikin 6-20 but can't find one anywhere.

You do a phenomenal job with these videos! You Sir have a new subscriber! 👌🏻

So useful and informative! Thanks 👍🏻

Love videos brother!!

This is like a review channel for adults.... Love it.

Yer killin me Bigun!!!! good shit as always...….

I have heard good things about the Arken, too. Another channel covered it and showed that it does not haze over at angles to the sun. That channel usually prefers Schmidt and Bender that averages around $4k, it would get haze when the Arken, a 10th of the cost was still clear and easy on the eye.

Thanks for the reviews.

Many thanks joe

Ordered the Arken I’ll let you know how it goes

Great video right to the point! Lol but thank you for taking the time to review these products and giving us real opinion on what is a quality optic on the right price point.

Good reviews and funny as hell...fellow Texan.

Hi brov saved my self so much money 💰 watching your videos keep it going thanks Jim UK 🇺🇲🇬🇧🇺🇲🇬🇧👍

Great video, probably can't afford any of these but at least i can work towards.

THANKS MAN APPRECIATE THE REVIEW.

Athlon 34 mm 0 stop. I love that Scope. That is a BAD ASS!!!! 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸👍

Fantastic as always Joe. I heard vortex broke the mold and released "the end all be all" scope we all been waiting on. The Vortex 1-10 power!!! Please review and track test that bad boy!

Thanks for sharing sharing Joe 👍👍beautiful scopes Numero uno 👌👌🇬🇧

Great video joe!!!

Great video. Subscribed.

You definitely help me choose a good scope thanks...

Hi Joe, another great video mate. How would you rate the Konus Empire 6-30 I noticed your video review you has some problems with the image quality that day? I am thinking of trying to squeeze onto an HW97 and still be able to load the rifle hahaha

Thanks Joe 👍 good job.

Nice man. Amazing scopes.

Great breakdown of each scope Cyclops! Question: Bushnell Match Pro 6-24x50 or BlackHound 6-24X50 FFP at same price...even though Match Pro is $50-$100 more?

Hi bud great vid as always when are you doing a review on element scopes

Which scope would you recommend for low light dusk/dawn white tail deer hunting? Also, what scope recommendation for thermal, nightvision for hog hunting? Can you provide low, mid and high price range for both inquries? Thanks and keep up the great videos.

Love your vids man... I went out and bought a scop based on another review you did and you are a no bullshit kind of guy.. I am very satisfied with what I seen and will definitely turn my friends on to your channel..

Hi Joe, as I have mentioned yesterday, I very much like to watch your clips (again) very much and like to ask you about Millett (which have been bought by Bushnell if I'm not mistaken) scopes. I did purchase one of their TRS-1 (?) and am trying to learn how to use their adjustments correctly in order to hit animals at the drop-spot for sure. I am looking forward to hear from you one of these days and send my very best wishes your way, Jochen

Great presentation man.

Great video I am new to scopes and very much considering purchasing the LCS Air Arms SK-19 automatic .25 air rifle and want a mean scope on it. Subscribed!!

Would you ever considering reviewing a Leupold mark 5 hd? I love your honest no b.s opinions, and your testing. Great stuff man!

Absolutely great review!! Edit: and you have a new subscriber!!

The Arken we mounted on my RAW HM1000X LRT poly barreled .22 running .217 25 grain slugs at 61ftlbs has been totally amazing. Joe my tight little ass wants you to do a review on MTC Viper Pros we have 9 PCPs with the 5-30x50 Viper pro and really REALLY love them. At 650 bucks the glass is amazing and bats well above its price point. The geared turret is a wonderful thing for airguns very very good tracking and very little if any parallax run out. The parallax/focus is good enough that ranging out to a 100y is very accurate and well have no issue showing a 1 yard difference in distance. Make a tape starting with a known distance of say 50y and then make your different distance marks and you can deff range with parallax with it. The only down side to the scope is they only have 60 minutes of adjustment and we are used to 34mm scopes that have well over a 100 but with a 20 minute rail that leaves us adjustment to get out to 300y with .22 slugs on our PCPs and as far as we want to shoot pellets. Review one and im sure you will be shocked at the performance. Hawke Sidewinders aren't even close and you know they are a very solid pcp scope but not even close to the Viper Pros.

Subscribed- great video

Great video!!!

I like your style. You got a subscriber.

Half the URLs are not working anymore unfortunately. Can you please update? You mentioned youtube removed some of your vids i understand? Thanks for the effort you've put in it. Especially the unbiased opinions, about allmost all the others are payed reviews, only adverrisements really. i understand it's hard to say no to the money, but i hope you can stay unbiased! It's exactly that what puts you in pull position :) cheers from Holland.

I moaned before that i could not get my hands on a Arken here in the UK but a while back i found them for sale here, i bought one and had a look at it then bought another two, i wont say its the best glass but good enough and the tracking is great, lots of scope for the money

Euro optics has the USO Ts 20 on back order for 499 as of 5/18

Hey Joe ...I'm a huge fan ... thank you for your hard work ... I was looking for information on the nordiske scopes ...any help would be great

Nice line up! Have you ever thought about doing some vids on pistol (long eye relief) scopes? I have done some searching and there aint much out there

Hey Joe, just go to see them at shot show, you are so right about that!

Nice review, I love my IOR!

Great video, I love the Arken scope, for the money, I don’t think you can beat it.

Good morning Mr, a curiosity or rather a piece of advice! I follow her and who better than her who has tinkered with many optics! For a perspective on a PCP that raises crows and foxes... I would like an FFP and I'm undecided because here, apart from selling, no one is competent to recommend! Between a Continental 5-30x56 34 Ffp tube and a Vortex Venom 5-25x56 34 Ffp tube for sharpness on magnifications. Shots beyond 100 yards and better turrets.... which one would you recommend?

I have been watching your scope reviews for a while now and like them a lot. Problem is I still cannot make a choice. Most of your reviews are favorable. So here goes. I have about a $500-700 budget for a scope to mount on my Ruger 223/556 MPR rifle. Please help me narrow it down. Thanks Dennis.

Man and I went with Aztec 5.5×25-50 ffp I like it kinda trying to get use to it thanks for sharing Joe

I would like to see some reviews on the new Crimson Trace scopes and the new Trijicon Credo and Tenmile scopes. Also the new Vortex Razor LHT thanks and if you have reviews on any of these scopes let me know if I over looked them. Thanks keep up the good work

The ACSS is always number one in my book. I have sold Vortex EOTEC Bushnell and many others to replace all my scopes little by little with an ACSS optic

JOE, my bf has a .22 Benjamin prowler air rifle and BOTH of the bolts that mounts the rifle to the synthetic forearm broke off in the bolt holes.

Just curious how the Arken EP4 glass is compared to the Tract Toric? Is one noticeably better than the other or close to the same?

Im saving for a black hound i think. It might take me a full year to save 500$ but im gonna do it!

You should check out swampfox Kentucky long scopes. Wanna know if it's even a contender for my 7 rem mag build.

Hello Joe, thanks for all of your scope videos. I have learned a great deal from your reviews and knowledge. I am wondering if you have any experience with Crimson Trace and their quality and reliability. I am specifically looking at the Crimson Trace 2-Series Rifle Scope - 6x24x56mm MOA. Thanks again!!
