I ordered one as my Christmas gift. It will reside atop my second Atomic XR… The feature set and small form factor sold me. Will post up my impressions through use.

Can't wait for your report!

Can't wait for your report!

There’s a six week wait, so it will be a while before I have it in hand. There are some very nice Youtube videos which give the unit high praise. Mine will be put to pesting and plinking duties in the Spring. Am also hoping to bag a few rats over the winter…

I typically never jump on a “new” thing. But this one has me “wanting“ it. The 8” length and feature set made me pull the trigger. Mine will be use for sub 50 yard pests. And for plinking out to 102 yards.

Wow sure beats the ATN Scopes that are massive

The small size is going to be literally “killer” on my Atomic XR. The Zulus‘ seem to be the cats meow. There are some really intense ratting videos where they are murder, sheer murder on the rats. Here’s one of it in action and how I envision using mine.

Looks like a really nice unit, I was contemplating buying one myself but after sending several emails and getting no response I decided to hold off. Looking forward to hearing what you think of the unit for the price.

@Brawler1588 Matt has been testing this scope, I have looked through it a couple weeks ago atop his Atomic, the optical clarity in such a small package is amazing.

 

[Brawler1588]

Yes I have been testing it and yes it is probably one of the best digital day night scopes I have tested and I have tested almost all the ones on the market on my own dime because of curiosity. If anyone has any questions please ask. Arken and the reps still don't have hands on the units so questions probably can't get answered in a timely manner. Only a few if the arken team has had a hence to see it.

That 25% off, along with all the attributes of the unit was simply irresistible to me. Plus Santa knows I’ve been good.

Wonder why the Laser Range Finder Version is not available on the USA web site. The unit on sale for 25% Off is the Non-LRF model. The LRF model appears to have been on sale in Europe for some time.

Question 1 - Is the ZULUS HD 5-20X Day/Night Digital Scope Range Finder version available.
Arken Optics USA LLC <info@arkenopticsusa.com>
The Zulus HD is the non-LRF model, the LRF model is not available for purchase at the moment. Thank you for your support and business.

Question 2 -Does the range finder version update the ballistics information in the scope when ranged. I currently have the Non-Range Finder Version on order. Will the Kestrel 5700X or Vortex Fury HD 5000 AB Laser Rangefinding Binocular work with ZULUS HD 5-20X Day/Night Digital Scope by Bluetooth. What I am asking, will the Fury Range Finder transmit Range to the scope via Bluetooth and will the Kestrel send wind speed and direction by Bluetooth?

Arken Optics USA LLC <info@arkenopticsusa.com>
To my knowledge, the ZULUS will not pair to a third party device other than a cell phone or tablet. Thank you for reaching out.

Update - ZULUS HD 5-20X Day/Night Digital Scope Range Finder version available now on the Arken USA Web Page. They let me upgrade to the Range Finder version. About $768 shipped in Texas. Looking forward to getting the new Arken ZULUS HD 5-20X Day/Night Digital Scope Range Finder version.

Has anyone compared the new zulus to the pard ds35 70 ? I currently have the pard which i love and like the sound of the zulus apart from having to connect to your phone for ballistic calculation . Happy new year...

Others - Arken Zulus First Thoughts/Mini Review

So I was able to get the hittac version of this scope before the arken take over. Hittac sold it to arken global and the US branch has finally announced it. My scope will be just like the zulus but mine is the old name. I am in the US and I have been testing it out. I have been testing digital...

The pard ds35 is the one scope I have not tried. I do talk to a lot a guys in the UK and they are saying the zulus takes the lead. The loading the ballistic data through the app is actually not bad at all. Having it in scope would be a plus but I will take all the other things it has going for it any day. I will link a video I took the other night. The image quality this thing has is nuts does it get pixalated through zoom yes but minimal the horse in my video is 375 yards WITH the built in ir light the tree line I take a video 408 yards with the built in ir that's just awesome.

So far am liking how intuitive it is to use the buttons in the dark and the sweet small size. Am hoping that at some future point Arken offers up larger sized reticles through firmware updates. So far I am pretty satisfied and eagerly await the warmer Spring and Summer nights to go out pesting.
