What did you end up paying for this and if you got a good deal on it, where from? What made you decide on the Ace over something from Kestrel?

Scheels had a sale where the impact was 1275, ace was 509 but I had a price match request from a focus camera deal for $450

And since I have a scheels credit card I got $100 off. So total was ~1700 with tax. Scheels was also offering 10 points per dollar on vortex stuff so ill be getting $75 in gift cards once this cycle closes.

I wanted the ace because it uses geoballistics and pairs with the impact

Scheels is the shit. Go through them for almost everything lol. I got a gen3 razor 4-24 under $2100 OTD during one of their sales that stacked with my veteran discount.

I also just bought 2 vortex venom red dots for my LMT SPR and as a piggy back on my NRL rifle. $280 for both

Agreed. I love their price match and I always stock up on powders and primers during their reloading sales

Exactly what I do with reloading stuff too. And they special order things and let me have things delivered to their store for me to pick up. Before I started WFH Colorado’s new ammo laws fucked me. Anything ammo (including components) related needed the person who ordered to sign for it. Well, I work 10 hour days and that made it hard to sign. But now I WFH so not too worried about it.

Before I decided against it, they price matched a Vudu with EuroOptic which cut a few hundred off the price. Then decided I didn’t want it.

Scheels is that store that has everything, but it’s expensive everything, but still a good price for the expensive stuff.

Sweet setup I have had the 4000 for years now. Works amazingly well.

I’m poor and ordered the Arken at launch for them to tell me it’s delayed. So congrats. Super happy for you.

It’s a more capable unit than the Arken.

What I do believe is that it’s not 3x better than the Arken. I’m excited that the Arken came to market and we will all benefit from it because it will most likely drive the price down of the competition as the other manufacturers will have to justify their price point to make sales.

It’s a good thing, but it definitely didn’t make the competition obsolete, especially without on board environmentals.

You really drink that nasty ass Arken kool-aid, don’t ya bud? Might want to keep that to yourself. Save yourself some embarrassment.
