[QUOTE="Jcann, post: 3350670, member: 33119"] Both have XD (Extra low dispersion) lens elements if that term means anything today. So it may be a wash as to which has better glass. One would have to do a side by side comparison to see if it meets their requirements in lens quality. This may be Vortex's attempt to compete with Arken scopes in this price range. Street price for the Vortex (without discount) is $699. Arken does have negative reviews with their reticle at low power (no illumination) and a very stiff focus ring. With COVID 19 they are having difficulties meeting orders as well. If someone is looking at scopes in this price range, Arken may be one to check out as well. Personally, I wouldn't buy a FFP scope without illumination. [/QUOTE]
