Overview
The Arken OUTRIDER 2-12x42 is a hunting-focused MPVO with a 2x low end and 12x top magnification. Its 58.8-foot field of view at 100 yards on 2x helps with close timber and moving game, while 12x provides more detail for deliberate shots across open ground.
The scope uses a 30mm tube and a second-focal-plane duplex reticle. The FDR variant adds a red fiber-illuminated center with six brightness levels and weighs 23.8 ounces. The non-illuminated DLR version weighs 22.4 ounces. Both use capped 0.25 MOA turrets, fixed 100-yard parallax, and a 3.5-inch eye relief.
This is the simple hunting option in the MPVO set. It gives up first-focal-plane holds, a zero stop, and side focus in exchange for a clean duplex sight picture and direct controls.
