Looking for Arken EPL-4 Testimonials

[vishnevian]

Bought and Arken EPL-4 as my first hunting scope and maybe starting to regret the decision. Anyone have experience with that optic as far as durability in the field and cold weather performance? Thanks

Why do you regret it?
I have used one a fair bit and will give my opinion after you reply

The glass seemed to have fogged up very easily in cold weather this last hunting season. Easier than say my Vortex Diamondback HD binoculars. Also in general skeptical about the quality control given the price.

Try some rainex.
I have given mine a fair work out and it is rock solid.
Optically it’s the equal or better than my NSX.
