Arken Optics is a Texas-based brand of front focal plane (FFP) rifle scopes. They began shipping their first scopes to customers in mid-2019. Frank “Lowlight” Galli (SnipersHide owner, respected reviewer) remarked that “This optic definitely punches above its weight class”.
As of this writing (April 14, 2021), Arken Optics rifle scopes are on extended backorder. For a complete list of FFP scopes by all brands, see the articles below:

Arken Optics warranty
Arken offers a lifetime warranty that reads:
We back all of our products with a Lifetime Guarantee.
If an ARKEN OPTICS product doesn’t perform, we will take care of it! We only hope that you give us the chance to make good. We appreciate your business and we want to keep it. We believe in superior quality and craftsmanship, and we are confident that your ARKEN OPTICS products won’t let you down.
No warranty cards to fill out, no receipts to hang on to, and they are fully transferable from one generation to the next. Simple as that!
In an article published on Arken’s site, they elaborate on their warranty policy to explain that it covers accidental damage:
The final questions are “What is the warranty and what does it cover?” and “Is this scope a good value?” Arken Optics offers a Lifetime Warranty on all of our products. This means that if your scope breaks for any reason, other than intentional damage, we will repair or replace it. If you choose to “torture test” your optic by beating it on a tree (I’ve seen it happen) you’re on your own. But if you drop your rifle from the deer stand and break your optic, we’ll take care of you.
Where are Arken scopes made?
Arken Optics rifle scopes are manufactured in China.
