In this video i cut open my Arken Optic EP5 optic that had been used for reliability testing. I open up the scope to take a look and see what the internals are comprised of regarding material as well as craftsmanship. I find the optic is well put together and difficult to get apart, even with cutting wheels. I take note of the wall thickness of the tube as well as heavy glass and fine brass internals. The EP5 definitely is built for durability!

Took me two days of filming to create this content. Small cutting wheel was not up to the job. Needed to get to the store for bigger tools.
