I have seen folks saying they like the Arken Optics Scopes for what you get for the money. I currently have an SH-4 - 6-24 that I currently use on my 308 bolt action and I like it fairly well. I am going to start participating in an ELR group which for ME means reaching out as far as I can with my current 308 and NOT buying another rifle. I've been told that I MIGHT be able to get to 1300 or 1400 yards with good glass and tuned ammo (reloading). With that being said, I AM willing to upgrade my glass and was considering upgrading to the EP5 6-24. My questions are:
1. Has anyone actually seen the difference in the glass between the SH4 and the EP5? (please note I do NOT have the SH-4J which i think is the latest generation?
2. Would the EP5 be a SIGNIFICANT upgrade?
3. If my budget was up to 700, is there a better available option suggested (especially?
My current rifle is a CVA Cascade 308 -22in barrel with a 1:10 twist, 20MOA Rail, Arkep SH4 - 6-24 x 50.
And while I appreciate all opinions and experiences, at this time i am NOT willing to buy a different rifle. I am not willing (at this time) to pay more than 700 for new glass.
Thanks in adavance.
