Had mine for about a week now so far so good. Mine has the range finder with bullistics built in it pretty easy to set up one shot sight in is pretty slick. Night vision also works very well. When I bought it, I thought it was 20% off great value for the money

Definitely some image blur/noise? Around and above the reticle, but I think we also have to understand the difficulty of digital imaging in low light conditions? I'm extremely interested in the Arken products though and keen to see more in-depth reviews on the quality of the night vision and thermal capabilities! Keep up the good work Russ, informative and accurate reviews! 👍 Thank you Wayne.

Fantastic

Awesome video. Can you remove the laser range finder? I love my 5X Zulus without LRF because it is compact and light. I hope Arken continues to make scopes without LRF because not everyone needs LRF or already own one. Size and weight is one of the big selling features of Zulus.

@@RussDouglas222 It didn’t seem to be present on the first scope. It also seemed to have blurring around the reticle whereas it didn’t appear to on the first one. The other aspect is that the edges on the tree were in sharp focus. As you say, could simply be down to KZreads compression artefacts. Don’t think it was a result of moss though.

Thanks Russ. If they get the price right on the thermal they will have very strong sales. They will need to ensure they can keep up with the demand and keep the product flowing.

I can't see it being around the 1k mark they said the 3x12 would be cheaper than the 5x20 and I've just pre ordered a 3x12 costing £600 so I highly doubt you're going to get a thermal on that for 400more

I’ve been waiting for the 3x12 for ages but Arken have let me down as there not offering it in standard scope as a sub 12 air gunner I don’t feel the need for LRF & ballistics calculator I think these are for powder burners not sub 12 . Very disappointed indeed

@RussDouglas222

Ай бұрын

I'm guessing there's not enough pf a market for the non-LRF/BCL version. It's actually more sub-12 airgunners than powder-burner FAC users that will benefit from the LRF/BCL, due to the loopier trajectories at our relatively lower power levels. I've only recently got a sub-12 .22" PCP due to the LRF/BCL benefits of the Zulus, compensating for the trajectory. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ

Sorry I can't copy your comment to translate it on my phone... but I assume you're querying the relatively low res sensor of the TNC225? We'll see when we review this in detail, but so far from what we've seen -it looks great. I didn't include my TNC225 teaser footage in this video simply because it was rough and ready, and there was no wildlife handy at the time -so nothing to light-up the thermal. Thanks for watching, cheers. Russ
