Description
The EP-5 Gen2 7-35×56 is Arken’s flagship scope — and the best glass in the Arken range. If you’re after the sharpest, clearest image Arken produces, this is it, regardless of whether you ever push past 20×.
35× puts you at the far end of what most SA shooters will ever need — enough to read a wind flag, read a mirage, and place a precise shot at serious distances. The larger 56mm objective keeps the image bright at maximum magnification. ED Japanese glass, FFP VPR reticle, and the AZS zero stop and tactical turret system from the EP series. 10 MIL per revolution with 32 MIL total elevation travel.
The choice for competitive long range shooters, serious hunters, and anyone who simply wants the best optic Arken makes on their rifle.
Part of the Arken EP-5 series. Complete your setup with scope rings and mounts and Arken accessories.
Reticle Options
Now available with two purpose-driven reticle options:
- VPR (Variable Precision Reticle) – A classic holdover grid with approximately 12 MIL of usable compensation. Offers a clean sight picture and practical precision for most real-world long-range shooting scenarios.
- TOR (The One Reticle) – An ultra-deep holdover grid extending to 16 MIL and beyond. Engineered for extreme drop compensation, PRS/NRL competition, .22 LR precision shooting, and demanding long-distance engagements.
Whether you prefer the proven versatility of VPR or the competition-focused performance of TOR, the EP-5 GENII combines innovation, precision, and value for modern long-range shooters.
Reticles
Please note: a battery is not included with our scopes. The CR2032 cell used for reticle illumination is not supplied and must be purchased separately.

Great optic at a great price. Zero stop is solid, turrets are precise. I run S&B and Nightforce on my other rifles — at this price point the Arken is unbeatable value.

I own 5 Arken scopes. The EP-5 Gen 2 has the best glass of them all. Had it out to 1000m regularly, never a problem. Japanese ED glass makes a real difference.

Absolutely love this optic. Completed a walk out from 500 to 1700m with my 6mm Creedmoor. The EP-5 Gen 2 worked flawlessly, holds zero well and clarity was outstanding.
