ARKEN EP-5 GENII 5-25X56 FFP IR MIL VPR
The Arken EP-5 GenII 5-25×56 FFP IR MIL VPR (Variable Precision Reticle) is a benchmark long-range precision riflescope. Featuring Japanese ED (Extra-Low Dispersion) glass for maximum clarity, illuminated VPR reticle in the First Focal Plane and the AZS (Arken Zero Stop) system for highly repeatable, tactile turret adjustments.
Building on the success of Arken’s flagship EP series, the EP-5 GENII 5-25×56 FFP delivers upgraded glass, refined mechanics, and enhanced performance. Perfect for precision-driven shooters at any distance.
Upgrading to the GENII brings major engineering enhancements. The most notable updates include:
Eyebox Improvement: A refined optical layout and internal engineering provide a more forgiving eyebox, allowing for faster target acquisition and a consistent sight picture across various shooting positions.
Refined Mechanics: Smoother side-parallax adjustments and upgraded tactile turrets with crisp 10 MIL (MRAD) adjustments per revolution.
Enhanced Glass: Further reduction of chromatic aberration and edge-to-edge clarity, keeping the image sharp at the maximum 25x magnification.
Premium Japanese XED Glass & Refined Optical Architecture
With Japanese Extremely Extra-Low Dispersion (J-XED) glass and a refined optical system, the scope delivers exceptional edge-to-edge clarity, contrast and fine detail throughout the 5-25x magnification range.

Instant Target Acquisition with a More Forgiving Eyebox
A larger ocular eyepiece provides 3.5″ of eye relief. The nearly 1.6″ lens and forgiving eyebox enable faster target acquisition and a consistent sight picture from virtually any shooting position.

VPR Reticle for Classic Precision
According to Arken USA, the Arken EP-5 GenII 5-25×56 FFP IR in MIL and MOA features a 12 MIL holdover grid designed for precise holds, wind calls, and faster follow-up shot corrections.
0.25 MIL Subtensions: Clean reference spacing for fast, intuitive holds
0.04–0.08 MIL Floating Center Dot: Low-profile aiming point designed for minimal target obstruction.
Ideal for range work, hunting, and mid- to long-range shooting where control and repeatability matter most.

Dial with Confidence | Arken Zero Stop Repeatable Return to Zero
Precision-machined tactile turrets deliver repeatable tracking you can trust shot after shot, supported by Torx screws with O-ring sealing for long-term stability. Designed to give an exceptionally crisp and tactile turret feel, giving shooters more confidence when making adjustments on the fly or under the clock. Each click feels more defined, which helps with fast, accurate corrections on a long-range rifle scope.
Meanwhile, the Arken Zero Stop (AZS) system provides a positive stop after multiple full turret rotations, enabling a fast and reliable return to zero. So you can dial for distance and come back to your base zero quickly and reliably.
