Arken SH-4J GenII 6-24×50 FFP — VPR, Zero Stop, 34mm Tube

The Arken SH-4J GenII 6-24×50 FFP brings Japanese ED (J-ED) glass, a 4x zoom range (6-24x), and Arken’s Zero Stop (AZS) turrets into a more affordable package than the flagship EP-5 GenII line — without giving up a true First Focal Plane reticle or a 34mm tube. It’s built for shooters who want genuine precision-scope features without the precision-scope price tag.

Key features

• J-ED glass: Japanese Extra-Low Dispersion fluoride glass for minimal chromatic aberration and a bright, high-contrast sight picture.
• Arken Zero Stop (AZS) turrets: A tactile, mechanical zero stop gives you an instant, repeatable return to zero — no counting revolutions, no risk of dialing past it.
• Tactile and audible clicks: Positive, countable turret adjustments you can feel and hear, even under recoil or in the cold.
• True FFP reticle: The reticle grows and shrinks with magnification, so holdovers and ranging subtensions are accurate at every power setting, not just one.
• 34mm tube: A larger, stiffer main tube than the usual 30mm for more mechanical travel and mounting rigidity under recoil.
• Illuminated reticle: Red illumination for low-light and low-contrast targets.
• Included sunshade to cut glare and glint off the 50mm objective lens.

Choose your reticle: VPR, in MIL or MOA

VPR (Variable Precision Reticle) — a holdover grid in the same family used across Arken’s EP-5 line, giving you built-in reference points for precision work and longer-range holds. Available in two subtension systems, so you can match it to however you already dial and hold:

• VPR-MIL — MIL-based subtensions, for MIL turrets and MIL ballistic data.
• VPR-MOA — MOA-based subtensions, for MOA turrets and MOA ballistic data.

Who it’s for

The SH-4J GenII is the value entry point into Arken’s true-precision features — Zero Stop turrets, a 34mm tube and a genuine FFP reticle — at a price that opens the door to hunters and range shooters stepping up from a basic duplex scope, without needing to stretch to the EP-5 GenII’s zoom range or price point. The 6-24x range and 50mm objective suit general hunting and range work where you want real holdover capability in reserve without carrying the size and weight of a full long-range setup.
