Arken Optics is an emerging optics company in the American market. Arken is known for using high-quality components while offering reasonable yet competitive price points for its optics. The focus of Arken has been to provide a premium midrange to long-range optic for shooters. Arken Optics is proud to introduce its newest optic, the EP8 1-8x28mm FFP LPVO. The EP8 is the first LPVO from Arken and is set to be a budget-friendly option for those interested in an LPVO for their rifle.
Below is the product description for the new EP8 1-8x28mm FFP LPVO.
The LPVO has long since earned its place, bridging the gap from holographic/ red-dot types to high magnification optics unsuited in CQC situations. With ever increasing capability, the LPVO has become a staple allowing tactical teams and competitive shooters to get the most out of any particular member instantly. The EP8 1-8’s thin edges and wide field of view make this true 1X perfect for close quarters, with a quick throw of the lever to 8X increasing effective range at a moments notice.
Reticle Details: KL Box MIL (‘KL’= ‘Known Length’. Pronounced: “KILL BOX”) This incredibly intuitive, patent pending reticle was designed to increase effectiveness under high stress environments. The outside numbers extending diagonally below centerline correlate to distance in yards. ‘Frame and Fire!” By framing a silhouette target in the appropriate KL box, the user is able to rapidly identify distance by simultaneously using shoulder width and torso height to calculate point of aim. With combat effectiveness in mind, this reticle allows for easy interpolation for any distance within the intended operational limits of a 1-8 allowing the user to acquire and process information faster and put effective rounds down range.
The new EP8 by Arken Optics is available now on their website. The new LPVO retails for $399.99 MSRP. For more on Arken Optics and its new LPVO, click here.
