TORTURE TEST! Arken SH-4 6-24x50 and LH-4 6-24x50 ~ Rex Reviews

Bottom Line Up Front:
The Arken LH-4 Gen2 6-24x50mm and Arken SH-4J Gen2 6-24x50mm scopes are both incredibly tough. The turret caps in my opinion are a necessary feature for maintaining full field use. These optics still track with precision and are both still very clear.

RUGGEDNESS TEST
1 meter Drop Test
2 meter Drop Test
10 meter Drop Test (off the roof)
600+ meter Road Drag Test

TEST RESULTS AFTER EXECUTING RUGGEDNESS TEST:

Optic: Arken LH-4 Gen2 6-24x50mm
No lenses came loose or misaligned.
No loss of control group function
No loss of magnification ring function
No loss of parallax ring function
No loss of ocular function
No loss of illumination ring function
Tracking graduation precision error: 0.00% error discernible @ 10MRAD before and after test
Tracking repeatability: 100% before and after test
Optical Resolution @ 10X / 25m (T-21 test): 0.89 - 1.00 c/mm, no loss after test (equal to or slightly better than my high dollar optics $2000+)
Scope Tube bent and finally broken using hydraulic tractor loader bucket, repaired with poxy

Optic: Arken SH-4J Gen2 6-24x50mm
No lenses came loose or misaligned.
No loss of control group function
No loss of magnification ring function
No loss of parallax ring function
No loss of ocular function
Illumination ring came loose after drag test but still functioning
Tracking graduation precision error: 0.00% error discernible @ 10MRAD before and after test
Tracking repeatability: 100% before and after test
Optical Resolution @ 10X / 25m (T-21 test): 0.89 c/mm, no loss after test (equal to or slightly better than my high dollar optics $2000+)

Test done by special request from an active duty sniper who is looking for solutions to commonly breaking optics... QUESTION: "Hi Rex... I wanted to ask for your advice. I have been in and out of combat operations this past year, and have broken all of my scopes in some way. I just broke the elevation turret on my nightforce atacr and am at a loss to find a scope that has the features that I am looking for. What is your advice for the most bomb proof scope I can get for my application? I appreciate your advice."

What are the best solutions given the most common failure points of long range precision riflescopes?

Rex discusses the weak points of optics subjected to heavy field use and puts the Arken Optics SH-4J 6-24x50 and the Arken LH-4 6-24x50 through hell in a TORTURE TEST designed to discover see limits of ruggedness.

Tariffs are going to hit this market hard, so if you need a few of these, grab them NOW.
