Arken Optics EP5 GEN2 7-35x56 FFP IR VPR MIL 0.1MRAD 34mm Rifle Scope
Expert Opinion
A high mag FFP for less then £700. There isnt much out there and its bloody good , the next jumps above the 30x top end mag are really products that are selling for around £1000 more so this has to be a choice for those long range and precision rifle shooters who want a higher mag FFP but dont want to break the bank
