Arken EP-8 1-8x28 BDC KLBOX Riflescope

For shooters who need to quickly switch between short and longer distances, the Arken EP-8 1-8x28 BDC KLBOX is a strong choice. As an LPVO (Low Power Variable Optic), it combines a wide field of view at 1x magnification — 40.4 meters at 91.44 meters distance — with usable overview at 8x magnification, where the field of view still measures 6.91 meters.

The KLBOX reticle stands for Known Length Box and works together with the BDC (Bullet Drop Compensator) function. The visual frames in the reticle allow you to quickly frame targets at known distances, which significantly simplifies distance estimation and determining the point of impact. Bullet trajectory at longer distances is thus directly incorporated into the reticle, so you can aim at changing targets without time loss.

The reticle is located in the first focal plane (FFP), which keeps the subtensions correct at every magnification setting. At low magnification, the reticle is quiet and unobtrusive; at high magnification, it stands out sharply. A red illuminated center point provides sufficient visibility in limited light conditions.

The turrets offer an adjustment range of 110 MOA and an adjustment of ¼ MOA per click, which allows precise adjustments in both vertical and horizontal directions. The 28 mm objective contributes to good light transmission, while the 34 mm tube construction provides sturdiness. With a length of 262 mm and a weight of 595 grams, the rifle remains well balanced.
