The Arken Optics EP5 5-25X56 FFP VPR scope is a variable zoom scope for rifles. It has a 34mm tube and is compatible with 34mm rings or mounts.

Designed for long range hunting or target shooting, the large 56mm objective diameter gives a large field of view – 25.3 feet at 5X zoom to 4.9 feet at 25X zoom at 100 yards. The Japanese ED glass is very clear and has minimal distortion around the perimeter.

Two different reticles are available with different units of measure are available – MIL and MOA. The center of the reticle and the first hatch mark are illuminated to increase visibility. There are six levels of illumination that the shooter can choose from.

This is a First Focal Plane (FFP) scope, meaning that the reticle changes size as the shooter changes the magnification of the scope. This is ideal for precision shooters, since the reticle markings stay accurate and proportional through all magnification levels.

The adjustment turrets have both tactile and audible clicks that provide the shooter with clear feedback. They provide 10MIL/25MOA of adjustment per revolution. The elevation adjustment has 32MIL/110MOA range while the windage adjustment has 16MIL/55MOA of range.

The elevation turret also features Arken’s AZS (Arken Zero Stop) system. After adjusting for range, AZS allows the shooter to consistently return the elevation turret back to the original zero.

The eyepiece includes a reticle focus adjustment, allowing the shooter to adjust the clarity of the reticle to match their eyesight. Also included is the magnification ring for magnification adjustments.

On the inside of the illumination turret, a parallax adjustment turret is also included that allows the shooter to eliminate all reticle movement within the eye box.
