This Arken EP8 1-8x28 BDC KLBOX rifle scope is a so-called LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic), which is perfectly suited for aiming accurately at targets at a decent distance away. It has an excellent field-of-view of no less than 40.4 metres at a distance of 91.44 metres at minimum magnification. At the maximum magnification of 8x, the rifle scope has a field-of-view of 6.91 metres at a distance of 91.44 metres. The abbreviation BDC stands for Bullet Drop Compensator, which means the rifle scope accounts and compensates for gravity dragging the projectile down as it travels a certain distance. The rifle scope also uses the KLBOX reticle, to use this function even more effectively.
KLBOX stands for Known Length Box and it indicates where the point of impact will be at certain yardages. It does so through frames, which have to more or less hug the target. Effective use of this reticle allows you to quickly switch between targets at various distances and maintain accuracy. The centre of the reticle is an illuminated red dot and the reticle is located on the first focal plane, which means it will grow bigger as you magnify. This means the subtensions are clearly visible at maximum magnification, but they are unobtrusive at minimum magnification.
The rifle scope has turrets, which can be used to elevation- and windage-adjust the reticle. Those turrets have an adjustment range of 110 MOA and they have an adjustment of ¼ MOA per click. The objective on this Arken EP8 1-8x28 BDC KLBOX rifle scope has a diameter of 28 mm, which provides a decent light transmission. The rifle scope has a durable housing with a tube diameter of 34 mm and it has a total length of 262 mm. It weighs 585 grams, so it won’t weigh down the rifle too much.
