I installed this optic on a crossman 760 air rifle.I have now shot the riffle around 500 times during target/plinking practice, and the ua-cam.com/users/postUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-Bgapxp_ef0W8hE scope has done well.With this optic, I have neutralized around 30 pigeons that were invading one of my buildings.For my short range air rifle, I will continue to use this scope, but will be upgrading to a more powerful scope, when I buy a more powerful air rifle, in order to shoot at longer distance.For the money I have spent, this scope has truly been a great buy.
Talk about overkill.
Why would you put such a powerful scope on an air rifle that's major overkill
Scary stuff tib. I’ve been watching your YT channel for many a years now. Infact since I was serving. I’m 40 this year and we getting old but still got them skills.
Keep the vids coming bud
By popular request... MOST REQUESTED REVIEW THIS YEAR.
And now I think I understand your Patreon post Re: logging data…
I do not know if its true but I heard Arken owns the factory (I am sure they lease the building) in China where these are made giving them complete quality control themselves if true.
I have 3 Venoms and recently purchased an EP5 for another rimfire build . Bottom line: I feel the controls and mechanics are better on the EP5. However, the brightness and (EBR7) reticle on the Venom were unanimously voted noticeably better when I let shooting buds try them side by side at the range. If I were to buy another 5-25 scope tomorrow, I'd stick with the Venom for my needs.
Good info, thank you.
How’s the glass quality on the venom compared to the EP5?
@@weduhpeople8504 terrible your better off buying a cheap bushnell
@@weduhpeople8504I think he was trying to say better.
@@weduhpeople8504 Good question, I know the Arken has quality Japanese glass but no idea if the Venom does.
Damn .... I have heard about you and now I know why! I've dabbled in all different types of guns.. 22's, PCC'S, AR's, Surplus, Shotties, Auto pistols and old school cowboy single action revolvers. The only thing left on the bucket list is long range and black powder, My son at 22 is pushing me into scary deep waters. I have always had bad eyes so going for distance has been put on the back burner, My new glasses have got me above 20/20 and 400yrds on a 223 is cake. I want to stretch to the limit for a personal best and your perfectly executed review is by far the most professional in depth review with a great deal of personal feel and experience that is very impressive. Thank you!
Nice review, very thorough as usual! I have two SH4's and have nothing but praise for them. I might try an EP5 next time after watching your vid.
Incredibly thorough, and very much appreciated.
Great Review
I have the ep5 and strike eagle. Think thier both great. The price listed venom for is what I paid for the SE the Venom is available for 499.99 the ep5 is 549.99 and the SE was 699.99 but is now often 799.99
This is a fantastic review comparison. Thank you Rex

Thanks for the discount code! I ordered one. Can't wait to get it.
That venom is almost half the price today shown in this vid. I wish I had known about it ,maube I could have saved money over the ep5
I’m wonder what Rex will say about parallax adjustment beside scope coating
Why do people seem to make such a big deal about the parallax numbers being off? I turn it until it's clear period. I honestly barely even pay attention to the numbers. When I'm beyond 1000 I just crank it all the way to infinity. I will be attempting 1760 Sat here in NW AR. We've worked our way up to it. I'm fairly new to long range shooting. I have a Viper HST but was thinking about the lighted reticle Venom. I've ordered the Arken cantilever 20moa mount so I can get a bit more height.
If your parallax is accurate, you can use it to range targets. Less maths than using your reticle and safes you from pulling out the range finder.
EXCELLENT comparison video!!!
Just picked up the vortex to put on my 6.5 creedmoor I'll be taking it out in the next couple weeks
I'm a little suspicious when 99% of all UA-cam videos seem to be promoting the Arken EP5. The Vortex is guaranteed for LIFE and a much better product.
I'd be curious to see a comparison between the arken optics sh4 4-16x50 and the swampfox optics warhawk 4-20x50
I just picked up the EP5 and the -5-30x56 Continental. The Vortex strike Eagle 5-25x56 I also have. I have other high end scopes and the one that stands out is the Vector Optics Continental scopes! I have other Vector Optics Veyron for ultimate light weight hunting scope and it a pinch over 200 bucks in ffp for the 3-12x44.
There both great optics. I've bought 4 of the Arkin, the last just arrived yesterday.
Ordered mine New Years Eve
@@Eargazim awesome....happy shooting.
Im just getting into this type of sport shooting with needing a scope and Ive been looking online for sometime trying to learn as much as I can and so far from a completely amateur point of perspective the Arken wins for me. Going to one soon to add to my AR-10 .308 build.
The arken lens caps dont fit , the focus slides and is difficult . The glass is great , the integral rings are well made , zero stop system wonderful .
Tracks good and is accurate . More to come .
Soften the rubber up by holding them over some steamy water. That is what I had to do to get the objective lens cap on. That sucker was really tight.
They aren’t even the same size diameter to fit the lenses .
I was just on arkin site was going to buy ep5
Arken 👍
I just got my EP5 for $512 shipped, with a mount. This was from their Christmas/New years sale.
Very thorough

👍🏻👍🏻
Will the Arken canteliver scope mount fit the Venom?? Will you recomend? This is for an AR 308 rifle
Yes it will, the tube diameters on both are 34mm.
Thank you 😊
Rex do you think we will see war on are soil ,or civil unrest and mad max,
What goes up must come down.
@@TiborasaurusRex k
Magic hour meat hour. Glass and fov Arken for finish
I dont know if the vortex goes on sale much but right now you can get the arken for 400.
So now its a 400 dollar scope vs a 700 dollar scope 😮
The vortex venom has dropped to $500 as a non sale price about 6months ago. I've seen it on sale for $450. So still comparable price. I'm watching this video as I'm debating between getting another Venom or trying the Arken.
just ordered it thanks for the code
Long video, which one would you pick if you could only have 1 of them ????????
I will join patron
Arken Way better for the money 💰👌👌💯
How to mount a scope the right way
How to moubt a scope the right way
i like it
Apples to apples Arken will feed fam for less
Vortex is also good
Mate Arkens work. They’re tight and rugged. Bang for… meat. Arkens good
The arken wins more than you think it does
China China China
Bingo Bango Bongo!
Arken all day long
Made in China...I am NOT interested in either.
Only plus is using their own stuff against them one day . Hypothetically of coarse.
@@whatthe5952 HaHa...right.😎
yeah, back to your cave
