Last week I pulled the trigger and ordered an Arken EP5 for a bolt gun project.  Lead time said 2-3 weeks.  Have their lead times been accurate for current orders or should I be prepared to wait much longer.  

Just curious if anyone has ordered anything from Arken lately and how smoothly their order went.

CS was great on a self-induced problem.

They’re sending out email ads so I suspect they’re ready to ship things out.

Update...I just got shipping notification for my order.  

My order includes the EP5, medium rings, flip up lens covers and the scope level.

That was much sooner then expected.  Looks like it shipped via UPS, tracking info shows label created but not yet picked up.  So far so good, lets see how this goes.

I ordered from Arken on January 29th this year. They stated a 2 month lead time when I placed the order. I got a tracking number within a few days but the scope ultimately shipped according to their forecasted lead time. Got it delivered on March 19th. So I was pretty pleased with that. Well worth the wait given the attractive price and plethora of discount codes/promos.

For what it's worth, I order the LH-4, and I absolutely love the optic given it's pricepoint. Super smart reticle and parallax adjustment for under $300.

Just got my EP5 and accessories.  I got everything I ordered and everything was packed well.  Seems like Arken's shipping department is doing great for my order.

I ordered an Arken Zulus with LRF on April 13th and it was saying 8-10 weeks lead time I believe, but I received it on May 15th.
