    Sadly, the concept of the Triple Constraint is lost on a lot of people.

    I want to add the Badger M24 M5 DBM to my M24. I realize this won't make it "correct" in terms of how our scout platoon rifles were configured back in '05 - '06. I'm assuming this conversion became more common during the latter years of the GWOT?

    Mike reached out to me this morning. Standing by to see if they'll follow through on their commitment to providing quality customer support. I'll report back here if comms go south again. Other than the tight-as-fuck power ring and the etched reticle SNAFU I've been mostly pleased with the...

    @ArkenOpticsUSA So you were just online responding to private messages (yes, we can see when you're logged in and can see your activity). You haven't respond to my emails, you're not responding to the discussions (see the other Arken thread), and when I sent you a private message you log off...

    Considering these are manufactured in China, one of my questions was that with the outbreak of the coronavirus, how might this impact the importation of scopes that are currently in production? The issue I'm having with mine is relatively minor and I can run the scope as is, but if the delay is...

    Rifle Scopes Brownell's 5-25x56 MPO is finally in stock!

    It seems times are changing. Having compared the Arken EP4 to the S&B PMII, T5xi (now sold) and MK5HD, I found that the Arken ELD glass handled CA much better than all of them and the overall IQ is comparable to scopes well above its price point. It also appears to be very well built, although...

    I understand, but I'm in the middle of an RMA with them and would like a couple questions answered before I mail back my scope. I was also told I'd be sent something, and I'm trying to get some fidelity/clarity on a couple options they initially offered me. Guess it'll all have to wait, but was...

    Anyone know what's going on with Arken optics these days? They're not responding to emails or phone calls. Comms was initially good and Mike was very responsive last week (27 Jan when we last spoke), but then went totally radio silent after that.

    Accessories FOUND: Badger Ordnance 34mm 1.00 306-14

    Looking for a set of standard height 34mm Badger rings, part# 306-14 specifically. Not trying to pay a ridiculous price since I can get these with my military discount direct from Badger, but still looking to save some money nonetheless. Figured I'd try here first before I do that. Thanks.

    How difficult is it to track down an HSRC? I'm assuming they're becoming more rare. How much can I expect to pay if found? Thanks.
