Arken SH-4 GenII 4-16×50 FFP — VPR / VHR, Zero Stop, 34mm Tube

The Arken SH-4 GenII 4-16×50 FFP is the entry point into Arken’s true-precision features — a genuine First Focal Plane reticle, Arken Zero Stop (AZS) turrets and a 34mm tube — built onto ultra-clear glass at a price that suits hunters and range shooters stepping up from a basic duplex scope. A 4x zoom range keeps it compact and versatile for general hunting and close-to-mid range work, while still giving you real holdover capability when you need it.

Key features

• Ultra-clear glass: Bright, high-contrast optics that hold up in low-light conditions, without the price tag of Arken’s ED-glass models.
• 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 or VHR

VPR (Built for Precision) — a full-featured grid reticle designed for precise ranging, holdovers and wind calls, in the same family used across Arken’s higher-tier scopes. We stock VPR in both subtension systems:

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

VHR (Built for Speed) — MIL only — a streamlined reticle with an intuitive holdover system, bold guides and a floating centre, designed for fast target acquisition when you don’t need a full grid. We stock VHR in MIL only (VHR-MOA is not carried).

Who it’s for

The SH-4 GenII 4-16×50 is Arken’s value entry point into true-precision features — Zero Stop turrets, a 34mm tube and a genuine FFP reticle — at a price that suits hunters and range shooters moving up from a basic duplex scope. The 4-16x range and 50mm objective are a practical, compact combination for general hunting and close-to-mid range work, and the choice between the fast, streamlined VHR reticle or the full-grid VPR reticle lets you match the scope to how you actually shoot.
