Choosing the right precision optic isn't easy.
and choosing the best precision optic for you is even harder
In this video I will make it a bit easier for you,
from all the optics, I have personally reviewed I have selected the top contenders at graduating price points to give you an idea of what you should buy at what price.
these Optics were selected for a few reasons: they provide the best value for the money.and they must have the following feature to be considered:
-good quality glass
-Wide magnification range 5-25 or similar
-FFP first focal plane
-Zero Stop
-Minimum of 70 moa of internal adjustment
-Exposed turrets

Critical and timely information I was seeking for my new/first AR. Additionally, I always welcome anecdotal experience to accompany pure specs and data when available. This alone helps to wade through the tsunami of choices and specifications regarding PRS's, thanks so much.

@mfranks4731 Год назад

What kind of AR? Are you getting it for prs?

@sadashiva1 11 месяцев назад

Haven't had a chance to test if it holds zero, but mounts just fine and has nice clear glass. Centered vertically true to a plumb line with the crosshairs which is always a plus!It's a great ru-vid.comUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope. There's no parallax adjustment or focus ring, so may be limited to 3-7x, have to see how it is on the range. Also be aware that the rings are "look through" so you can still use irons, but they are really tall if you only intend to use the optics. On a 22LR no biggie since I'm not shooting competitions or worried about a hard cheek press. Will boresight and range test, if all goes well, I'll leave it at that!

@wisesage3289 Год назад

Very helpful video. Hopefully many folks will join the precision game, and feel comfortable purchasing one of these excellent scopes. Too much scope snobbery in our game.

@Munky332 Год назад

More? Less? I'd love to shoot from 100 to 500 mts hopefully! Thanks so much!

@tiputipu777 Год назад

I had an element titan 5-25 and it was a disappointment. Parallax adjustment from 150 to infinity takes like 2 degrees of turning, so getting it parallax free for longer range was a pain. From 150m and in ontop of a 22lr it was decent.

How do you feel about the Meopta Optika6 line? From what I've seen, the glass seems to be much better quality than the Viper PST. It looks like you can get the 5-30x56 for around $1,250 USD. I wonder how they would compare to the Tract scopes.

@rocketeng1888 2 месяца назад

IOR uses the same German shot glass that S&B use. Excellent scopes. They have been revolutionary in scope design. It’s cheaper to fly to Romania and purchase on than it is to buy in N. America. Plus you get a vacation. Buy direct from the factory. They make lenses for TV/IR guided weapons as well.

@ChadCooper03 Год назад

Are the locking turrets on the 4.5-30x Tract Torric larger than the 4-20? The elevation turret looks taller on the ELR version for some reason. Excellent video content, thank you for your time.

@acushley1 Год назад

How is the eye box on the Discovery ED PRS 5-25x56? Also, how does the warranty compare between this one and Arken? I was pretty set on the ARKEN SH4-GENII for $550 CAD (including the NSF kit being offered), but now I'm strongly debating pushing my budget and getting the Discovery ED PRS 5-25x56 ($666 CAD) or Arken EP5 (766 CAD) plus kit for $829 CAD. All prices are current and include shipping and taxes. I've included the Arken kit prices since the Discovery appears to come with a throw lever and scope caps and the kit does as well making the comparison closer. Is the discovery worth the extra $110 over the SH4 and is the EP5 worth the extra $100-$160 over the Discovery?

@EpikArms Год назад

the Discovery is more comparable to the Arken EP5 than the SH4. turrets feel better on the ep5 than the discovery but the discovery seems better than the SH4. (fit and finish on the EP5 is slightly better than the discovery, glass quality too) the eyebox is very similar to the EP5. in terms or warranty for Canada, it could take a while to get a warranty Arken this side of the border, they seem to order them in batches every 3 months or so since they are coming from the USA. Discovery from what I understand is doing a big push for the Canadian Market (because of me) and their shipping from china to Canada seems to take a week or 2. The discovery is currently 632$ CAD tax/shipping included at CDNprecision.com and the cheapest SH4 that I can find is at just under 800$ from rangeview.ca (before shipping). if you are near the Alexandria area you can come take a look and compare them side by side. Also to be clear CDNprecision.com is my website. after having used the Discovery since November of last year, this January I decided I would buy a lot of 7 of them and retail them. trying to keep something of great value for the Canadian market. let me know if you have any questions. thanks for watching!

@wc4201 Год назад

It’s crazy how good optics have gotten for the price. Arken and Tract get you what $2500-$3k used to get you a decade ago. If Arken and Tract and others can get the weight and size down a bit while keeping the same quality control the big guys are going to be in trouble.

@bmstylee Год назад

As a guy who bought a $2000+ Nightforce about 7 years ago as I wanted a really nice precision optic it's amazing what you can get. Now my NF is nicer than my Arkens but not 4-5x nicer.

@ForceRecon112 Год назад

arken came out with a 30mm tube line for hunting. uses the ED glass of the EP4 and 5 series but around 13oz less than the EP5 or SH4 6-24x. thinking about getting that for my mk12 build

@wc4201 Год назад

Yep I saw that. It’s on my list to get for a hunting rig. Would like to see them to do something in a Leupold MK6 3-18 sized package w their Christmas tree reticle.

@johncrenshaw1383 Год назад

None of the big guys are worried about Arken or Tract especially if they are as you said a decade behind! Kahles, ZCO, Minox, Leica, Zeiss & Tangent Theta and many others make Arken & Tract look and perform like the 500-1000 optics that they are. To make it even more simple any optic using German Schott glass isn’t worried about any optic using Asian ED glass…..

@wc4201 Год назад

@@johncrenshaw1383 I’d be hard pressed to buy another Schmidt and Bender, Zeiss or Steiner when I can get spot on tracking and good enough glass for less than $1k. Sure Arken isn’t Schmidt and Bender but it’s 85% of what one of those is. If the big guys ain’t worried then ain’t going to be long for the world cuz change is constant. If they don’t change/innovate with the times then they will get bought out or go extinct. This is coming from a guy who has 4, PMII’s… I’m practically putting Schmidt and Benders kids through school (joke)!

I was thinking of going with the vortex venom, but that was before discovering the discovery ed. Are they similar or is the disc closer to the diamondback tactical?

Do you have a review of the discovery ED-PRS? 308 ready? Thank you. I am also waiting for the Bushnell match Pro ED. That one is good I think.

@EpikArms Год назад

hey infoMAx, the review itself is technically done i just have to film the talkin points, but the turret test/tracking glass and all that stuff is done. this optic tracks excellently and great glass for the price point. ive had it since November and its been great but the video wont be published until after shot show. also if you are in Canada Let me know ive got 7 ordered to resell

@wymple09 Год назад

I have several older scopes from Bushnell & Leupold, that have always been as good as I am. When I check out these scopes that cost me 2 or 3 times as much, I don't see the gain to loosen my wallet. I guess if you are a long distance competition shooter, but otherwise, no.

@ThatGuy3714 Год назад

no ZCO? also put that IOR on mount and aim it at paper to run a tracking test. Unless they changed something very recently they are known as being the worst tracking optic there is. Last thing I want is to adjust for 600 and its off by .2+ mils. good way to loose your match

@markf3229 Год назад

There are lot of pros and cons regarding what scope to purchase. The biggest pro I consider i the glass quality. No use ticking all the other boxes but no the glass. Manufacturers will tell you its HD glass but it comes in varying quality. A lot of Vortex, Burris and other high end scope's glass is made in the Philippines. I chose Tract because its glass is second to none, Schott Glass is world renowned, similar to Zeiss

@thecheapshot1065 4 месяца назад

I need a budget scope for a 65 Grendel AR It's going to be an inside 500 target gun and I was thinking the SWFA x10 as Classic classic or HD doesn't matter. Since the 65 grand is a very low recoil optic and When I hunt it will be replaced with a Thermal for Hunting at night I should say coyote removal st night Will I get the same Glass clarity And I relief with A Redfield Or can anyone suggest scopes I should be Considering. I like the $300 price point the HD Version put us over 400

@EpikArms 4 месяца назад

ive looked at one SWFA 10X, and I dont think i have felt any mushiey turrets. for an AR i would recomenda a variable scope, to offer you options for up close. other than that i cannot any insight for thermal.

@shaneleeracing2285 Год назад

Can you explain the zero stop on the Arken EP5, specifically the amount of .Mil after zeroing and then setting the zero stop? Arken lists the Elevation adjustment as 32 mils. Will you have 32 mils after zeroing and resetting the zero stop?

@EpikArms Год назад

Yes, the arkens zero stop does not limit the amount of internal adjustment

@shaneleeracing2285 Год назад

Thanks! Now if I zero and used 12 Mil of elevation for a 100yd zero, will I have 32 Mil after setting the zero stop?

@EpikArms Год назад

no, if you used 12 mils to zero the scope then you re left with the difference (20 mils) depending on the rifle set up you may want a more canted base. for example if you are using a 0 moa base then you will be zeroed using 16 mils if you have a 20 moa base then you are using around 10 mils, if you have a 30 moa base then you zeroed using approx. 7 mils leaving you with 25 mils of adjustment to use. basically with the Arken optic it doeast add an extra variable. for example with the USO TS20x you only got to use 10 mils with the zero stop engaged wether you had a 0 moa a 20 moa or a 30 moa rail

@shaneleeracing2285 Год назад

Thanks. I will have a 20 MOA base and I ordered the 20 MOA Cantilever Mount, so I will be set for nearly all of the 32 Mil. Hopefully it’ll not need much down adjustment for zero.

@Mike Badge I have a Nikon Black FX 1000 4-16 on a Weatherby in 7mm-08. If you’re in the USA there are much better options. Above 12x the eyebox gets tight and glass gets dark. 10 years ago it would have been a great choice but not in today’s market. You can find deals if you look around. In the past month I’ve bought the Riton x5 like in this video for $565 NIB and a Hawke Frontier 3-18 FFP for $550 NIB through Ebay. Those are USD prices.
