Introduction to Arken Optics Brand

This optics brand was founded back in 2019 by Michael Benedict, Michael Reilly, and Josh Greer. It is interesting to note that Michael Benedict was a retired army man who also served in the famous operation of Iraqi Freedom.

However, Michael Reilly and Josh Greer are two outdoor enthusiasts who love shooting. So, they started this company together. This optics brand has its headquarters in  Rockwall, Texas, United States.

As I said earlier this company is very new, and there is not much that I could share with you. As time passes, the Arken scopes and their products will be tested by the customers, and we will come to know about their quality and standards.

Where are Arken Scopes Manufactured?

All the arken scopes are being manufactured, and assembled in China where the company has dedicated manufacturing units or plants. None of their scopes or any other product is being produced in the headquarters located in the USA.

However, some of their scope lenses are manufactured in Japan. However, this outsourcing of lenses is also very limited. The lenses of SH line rifles scope of the Arken brand are manufactured in Japan.

Except for the SH line rifle scope, all the other products and their components are produced in China. Keep in mind that the lenses are made in Japan but they are imported to China where the assembly of their SH lines rifle scopes is done.

Note: None of their rifle scopes is assembled or manufactured in Japan except manufacturing of lenses of SH line rifle scopes.

Although the Arken brand is relatively newer, brand they have produced many scopes that are very high quality. What I like the most in the Arken scopes is their affordable pricing. You will get all the nice features because in less pricing as compared to the Leupold or Bushnell scopes.

Are Arken Scopes Any Good?

Yes, I rank the Arken Scopes highly because of the fact that they are available at very affordable prices, plus they offer nice premium features that make them stand out. So, you should give them a try.

As you know I don’t recommend newer brands because I don’t want to put my readers in trouble by making cheaper and low-quality scopes. But the Arken brand has impressed me through their quality as well as affordability.

This brand offers premium features at affordable pricing. For example, if you get Leupold scope for $500 then you will find the same kind of scope with similar features from the Arken brand for less than 300 dollars. This price difference impresses me.

As their scopes are made in China, it gives a kind of feeling that they might be cheaper. But this is not reality. The company has a strict quality control system that ensures high-quality scopes go into the market for selling. If a scope is not good enough, they don’t approve it for selling.

But the most interesting fact is that the Arken scopes come with a lifetime warranty which gives peace of mind that if your scope gets any fault, the company will either replace it or refund it. So, you are not at a loss when you buy from them. This is why I highly recommend you buy the Arken scopes.
