- We don't all have thousands of pounds or dollars to drop on rifle optics. But a lot of people are nervous about the quality of the optic in the sub $500 category. The EPL-4 from Arken appears to offer an affordable solution. This scope is ruggedly built and has everything you need to make solid hits at 1000yds+ with a centre fire rifle. I go through the specs and take a look at the build quality. In the next video we will go to the range and I will demonstrate mounting and getting zeroed.
I want to bring people affordable products which still do the job you want them to. Of course there will be some high end stuff as well but there must be options for everyone. I think this scope demonstrates that you don't have to sacrifice features to achieve your price point.
This is currently on offer for £299!!

Thank you for a most excellent quick run down on FFP and Parallax. As you like to wear hats, when you're giving lectures, you might want to swap the flat cap for a Mortar Board or square academic cap to complete the look.
These are good quality scopes and especially as they also have a lifetime warranty! I have the Arken EP5 5-25x56 FFP on my HMR and I can't fault it. Great reticle, great turrrets, good build quality and the click adjustment is bang on and solid. No mushy feel to the turrets either. The ONLY down side I noticed was the gas port on the underside of the saddle which can foul a single piece mount bottom depending on which mounting system you use. Otherwise these are a great optic to use out to distance!
I really like that reticle.
Nice one, good explanation of things for beginners! This looks a nice scope, for target work especially as you mentioned the adjustment travel for reaching out to 1000.
As the title says "best price for a centre fire?" I'm going to have to come back with an opinion. 😂
Depends on the type of shooting you do, this scope has a feature set that a target shooter would appreciate.
If it's for pest and predator control on farms as often is in the UK, (and often at night,) a scope set up for mpbr is often utilised as it enables quick point and shoot out to reasonable range. (With a fox passing through there often isn't much time for technical calculations.) With a 233 for example on fox size target, it's going to be about 200-230m.
I will add that the 1" tube sfp scopes are very much still of the present and there's good ones out there that are reasonably priced and suitable for centrefire use.
I agree, avoid cheap no name eBay scopes.
I don't want to harp on about hawke, but I have been using them for about 12 years with no problems, for around £100 and up the your getting monotube construction, nitrogen purged, all calibre rated and a lifetime warranty. The only time mine fogs over is when I come in from outside to inside on a cold night, and that's the exterior of the glass, not the internals, same as the exterior metal work of thr gun. I expect all scopes would do that.
It's not just hawke either, with 200-300 you can get decent scopes from Nikko Stirling, vector optics, vortex, optisan and probably lots more. 👍👍
Thanks for this:very informative vid
I have a HW80 air rifle, and it is a brutal in destroying telescopic scopes within a few months.
Anybody got a HW80, and recommend a scope that lasts ?

Vortex carry a no questions lifetime warranty. If it breaks they replace. And I would suggest your springer will struggle to break it..
Do you believe in learning how to fight, if so , to what extent?
I believe we should all be the best we can be in the things that interest us or that we naturally excel in. I do not think everyone can "learn to fight" and to some it would be a detriment. There are many ways to avoid trouble and peoples time might be better spent building a great business and securing themselves through finance - move to a safe area, hire security if required. That said if fighting is of interest then that is good. I learned by getting beaten up on a regular basis for about 5 years then running doors for the following 20yrs. I took boxing lessons, learned some mixed martial arts and competed in some semi pro events where I usually got my ass beat as well! It left me with a reasonable repertoire that I now never have to use. Better to be a warrior in a garden than a gardener in a war...
