    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 kzread.infoUgkxc4K63Fd5LglDMObu7-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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
