Has anyone owned either of these currently or in the past, or can pass a comment verdict on either? I was set on a Taurus but then someone mentioned Arken ELP4. they cost pretty much the same .. similar reticles. Hows the glass on both? was looking for a decentish mid range.

Arken Optics EPL4 6-24x50 FFP
V
Vector Optics Taurus 5-30X56 FFP
 
A guy at the club I go to as the Taurus & the glass is clear even on full mag.
I think for the extra money I know it's easy when someone says a bit more money but I really would go with the Falcon T50i 5-50-60.

Which I have & am very happy with only shoot indoors 30-40 yards, & seems to be a popular choice at the club I go to around 3 of the chaps I see all have one.

The Falcon as a 34mm tube & comes with no mounts 😩.
 
An Arken will be a better scope with better glass (but it is a small percentage). Compare the price of an EP5 with the vector (closer specs) and you’ll get an idea. If you are happy with the 24x max, then get the Arken.
 
I have the EPL4 on an FX, overall super clear glass, great ret, not too busy and a perfect zero stop system, versus the Taurus I would say the EPL4 just takes it purely with the turret system, just feels more crisp and precise.
As @Nords suggests, there are a few deals to be found and if you can stretch a few extra ££ then upgrading to the EP5 is a next level
 
@nashslash I've just bought the Taurus and received it yesterday. I have to say its very clear glass. If you have any questions i'll try to answer them.. Bought for £244 with free delivery off Vector air down from £299 using the promo code Euro24
 
I ended up buying the EPL4. and loved it. super bright glass love the ret.. buying another now for a 2nd gun ...

Sorry for hijacking the thread, but can anyone with an EPL4 tell me if the sight picture is clear at 600 yards on full mag please?
