Well my EPL4 6-24x50 FFP MOA is due to be delivered on Monday. With this I will officially have too darn many scopes, or not enough guns. Not sure which. I'd ask the Mrs. but I already know that answer. 
Anxious anticipation of a new Arken ELP 4
- Thread starter HogKiller
- Start date
I don’t have first hand experience, but I talked to a gentleman that handled one first hand at the Arken booth @SS2023, and he wasn’t impressed.

Ok anxious anticipation is now over. I was ready to be THRILLED but, I have to say, somewhat of a let down. Still made in China, it MAY have Japanese glass but looking at yellow target in the shade and comparing it to my
SH4 GEN2 6-24X50mm, optically can't see a vast improvement. Knobs are much smaller but that is the 30mm tube to a 34 mm tube, the windage is covered. Parallax is ok, I think the Titians are a smidge better there, old eyes and progressive lenses so, YMMV. Still the same solid clicks and smooth action between both. Because it's smaller tube it's a bit lighter, I'd have to take off my SH4 and compare it, but by hand it's noticeable. Sadly they sent the wrong rings, replacements are on their way and I don't have any 30mm in my vast ring collection, bummer. I'm going to reserve final judgement until I can get it mounted but right now...a touch underwhelmed. I think the SH4 is pretty darn good for the price but heavy. I'm thinking I'm spoiled by the SH4. Between a Titian and the SH4, I give the SH4 a slight edge because of the turrets.
