ARKEN EP-5 5-25×56 GEN II FFP VPR – Product Description

Premium Japanese XED Glass & Refined Optical Architecture

The ARKEN EP-5 GEN II 5-25×56 FFP scope is built with upgraded Japanese Extremely Extra-Low Dispersion (J-XED) glass, delivering improved colour correction, reduced chromatic aberration, and enhanced detail resolution at distance.

Compared with the previous Japanese Extra-Low Dispersion (J-ED) glass, the new J-XED optical system provides a sharper, cleaner, and more consistent viewing experience across the full 5–25x magnification range.

Combined with a refined optical architecture, the EP-5 GEN II is designed to deliver dependable image quality, strong contrast, and precise target definition for long-range shooting, hunting, and competition use.

More Forgiving Eyebox for Faster Target Acquisition

The upgraded eyepiece design, paired with generous eye relief, provides a more forgiving eyebox for faster target acquisition and improved shooting comfort.

Whether shooting prone, from barricades, or from off-angle field positions, the EP-5 GEN II helps maintain a full sight picture even when head positioning is limited. This makes it easier to stay behind the scope, track impacts, and make faster follow-up corrections under recoil.

True Edge-to-Edge Clarity

The redesigned optical path helps reduce field curvature and edge distortion, producing a sharper and more uniform image from the centre to the edge of the sight picture.

Even at higher magnification, the EP-5 GEN II maintains strong image clarity, making it easier to identify targets, read mirage, and maintain confidence at extended distances.

First Focal Plane Precision Reticle

The EP-5 GEN II is available with precision-focused reticle options designed for different shooting applications.

VPR | Classic Precision

The VPR reticle features a clean 12 MIL holdover grid, designed for precise holds, wind calls, and fast follow-up shot corrections.

With intuitive 0.5 MIL subtensions and a fine floating centre dot, the VPR reticle provides a clear aiming reference without excessive target obstruction.

It is ideal for range work, hunting, and mid- to long-range shooting where control, clarity, and repeatability are essential.

TOR | Extreme Competition

The TOR reticle is designed for shooters who require maximum holdover capability and fast correction references.

Featuring a dense 16 MIL holdover grid, 0.2 MIL subtensions, and a fine floating centre dot, the TOR reticle provides enhanced control for wind calls, elevation holds, and impact corrections at extended range.

With full reticle illumination, the TOR option is especially suited for PRS, NRL, rimfire precision, and competition environments where speed and precision are critical.

Arken Zero Stop System

The Arken Zero Stop system provides a positive and repeatable return-to-zero after turret adjustments.

After dialing for distance, shooters can quickly and confidently return to their original zero, making the EP-5 GEN II a reliable option for both competition and field use.

Built for Harsh Field Conditions

The EP-5 GEN II is engineered for durability, reliability, and repeatable performance in demanding environments.

Constructed from aircraft-grade aluminium, the scope body is built to withstand hard field use while maintaining strength and rigidity. It is .50 BMG recoil rated, making it capable of handling repeated recoil from heavy-calibre rifles while maintaining dependable tracking and optical performance.

The scope is IP67 waterproof and dustproof, helping protect the internal system from rain, mud, dust, and harsh outdoor conditions. It is also nitrogen-purged to resist internal fogging during rapid temperature changes and humid environments.

From Rimfire to Long Range

With precise tracking, side parallax adjustment, and a versatile 5–25x magnification range, the ARKEN EP-5 GEN II 5-25×56 FFP scope is equally at home on an NRL22 rifle, a PRS competition setup, a hunting rifle, or a dedicated long-range platform.

Designed for shooters who demand optical clarity, repeatable adjustments, and rugged reliability, the EP-5 GEN II offers premium performance without the premium price tag.
