Arken flip ups vs vortex defender flip ups?

[Drake267]

Hi all, just a quick one, have any of you guys used the Arken optics scope flip ups? I generally buy vortex ones and I’m after six for my three optisan cp scopes. The Arken are 3/4s of the cost of the vortex and just wondering how they compare against the vortex on quality. They look similar but don’t want to but then if they’re not great. Thanks.

I usually use vortex but opticswarehouse out of stock so tried the arken caps and happy with them on par with vortex cheers

Thanks mate, I’ve just bought six for my scopes, it’s a good saving over the vortex, got a rucksack while I was on too

So just an update on this, I got the sets of Arken flip ups and actually prefer them to the vortex ones, the rubber seems a bit softer but also a bit more grippy. The flip up cap seems on a par with the vortex ones, overall I’d buy these over the vortex in future as long as the longevity is there.
