Experts Opinion
For the last year or so the EP5 has been the best value for money FFP on the market, The Japanese glass is worth the step up when comparing to the SH4j from Arken. Decent glass, good tracking, good reticle and to be honest everything you want for 75% of shooters. If you can afford the next step up then the one to consider will be the Delta Javelin before you then look to the Delta Stryker.
