Arken Outrider 2-12×42 SFP — FDR / DLR, 30mm Tube

The Arken Outrider 2-12×42 SFP is a purpose-built hunting scope: a Second Focal Plane design with a wide 6x zoom range, a compact 30mm tube and fully multi-coated glass for a bright, clear sight picture from first light to last. Tool-less turret caps keep the profile low and snag-free in the field, and fixed parallax means one less thing to fuss with when a shot presents itself fast. Choose the illuminated FDR reticle for low-light hunting, or the simpler non-illuminated DLR if you don’t need it.

Key features

• Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle: The reticle stays a constant size through the zoom range, keeping the sight picture uncluttered — the traditional choice for hunting scopes.
• 2-12x zoom range: A true 6x ratio that covers close woods hunting on the low end and reaches out for longer paddock shots on the high end.
• Fully multi-coated glass: Bright, high-contrast images in low light, with strong glare and reflection control.
• Tool-less turret caps: Low-profile capped turrets protect the MOA adjustments from knocks and the weather, with no tool needed to remove them.
• Fixed parallax: Set at 100 yards and left alone — no side-focus dial to adjust in the field.
• 30mm tube: A lightweight, compact profile suited to hunting rifles.
• Compact and light: 12.1in long, from 22.4oz (DLR) — easy to carry all day.

Choose your reticle: FDR (Illuminated) or DLR (Non-Illuminated)

FDR (Fiber Duplex Reticle) — a fiber-optic-fed, illuminated duplex reticle with a small daylight-bright centre dot and 6 brightness settings, for fast target acquisition in low light or against a dark background.

DLR (Duplex Reticle) — the same duplex layout without illumination: bold outer posts leading the eye to a fine centre aiming point, for hunters who don’t need (or don’t want to pay for) an illuminated dot.

Who it’s for

The Outrider 2-12×42 SFP is built for hunters who want a straightforward, no-fuss scope rather than a tactical-style optic: fixed parallax and tool-less capped turrets mean less to think about when a shot presents itself, and the traditional SFP reticle stays clean and uncluttered at any magnification. FDR’s illuminated dot earns its keep at dawn, dusk or in timber; DLR keeps things simple (and a little lighter and cheaper) for hunters who are happy without it.
