Arken’s First All-Round Hunting Scope
Built for hunters who reach farther, the OUTRIDER 3-18×50 SFP delivers the versatility needed for open terrain and longer shots. Featuring an extended 3-18x magnification range, large 50 mm objective lens, adjustable parallax, and enhanced elevation travel, this hunting scope provides the precision and confidence to transition seamlessly from mid-range shots to distant targets.
See Earlier, Stay Later
Featuring premium Japanese HD glass with Super Bright Fully Multi-Coated Optics, the OUTRIDER 3-18×50 SFP delivers 90%+ light transmission for exceptional twilight performance. Combined with the large 50 mm objective lens, the optimized optical system maintains a bright, high-contrast image from dawn to dusk even at higher magnifications, helping hunters spot game earlier, see critical details more clearly, and make the most of every shooting opportunity.

10-Yard Close Focus to Infinity
With an intuitive side-focus parallax wheel that adjusts from 10 yards to infinity, the OUTRIDER 3-18×50 SFP delivers a sharp reticle and clear sight picture across distances, from close-range practice to long-range shooting.
Choose Your Reticle: FDR or DLR
The OUTRIDER offers two Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle options, maintaining a consistent reticle size throughout the magnification range for a clear, intuitive aiming reference.
FDR | Daylight-Bright Illumination
Powered by fiber-optic illumination, the Fiber Duplex Reticle (FDR) features a daylight-bright aiming point that draws the eye naturally to the reticle center. Six brightness levels allow quick adjustment for different lighting conditions, keeping the aiming point visible from bright daylight to fading light.
DLR | Classic Duplex Simplicity
For hunters who prefer a traditional aiming reference, the Duplex Reticle (DLR) provides a clean sight picture with bold outer posts and a fine center aiming point for precise shot placement.
Never Lose Sight with Hydrophobic Lens Coating
From sudden rain showers to damp backcountry mornings, the OUTRIDER keeps the sight picture clear. Hydrophobic lens coating helps maintain a clear view by shedding water droplets and moisture, while weather resistant construction ensures reliable performance throughout the hunt.

Q1. What defines the Arken OUTRIDER Series, and how does it fit into the Arken lineup?
Arken is best known for high-precision, long-range First Focal Plane (FFP) tactical riflescopes. The OUTRIDER Series expands the lineup with a lightweight, compact hunting optic platform featuring a Second Focal Plane (SFP) reticle that maintains consistent size and visibility across all magnifications. Designed for modern hunters, the OUTRIDER Series combines fast target acquisition, reliable precision, and all-weather durability in a rugged yet portable platform built for demanding outdoor conditions.
Q2. Which OUTRIDER magnification range should I choose — 2-12×42 or 3-18×50?
It depends on your hunting style and typical shooting distance.
The OUTRIDER 2-12×42 is the lighter, more compact choice for hunters who prioritize mobility and fast target acquisition. Its wider field of view makes it ideal for mountain hunting, walk-and-stalk, and mobile field use.
The OUTRIDER 3-18×50 is designed for hunters who need more magnification and precision at longer distances. With a larger objective lens and adjustable parallax, it is better suited for open-country hunting and extended-range applications.
Q3. What is the difference between the FDR and DLR reticles across the OUTRIDER series?
Both FDR and DLR are Second Focal Plane (SFP) Duplex reticles designed for fast target acquisition and precise aiming. The main difference is illumination.
FDR (Fiber Duplex Reticle) uses fiber-optic technology to illuminate the center aiming point, improving visibility and target acquisition in low-light or changing conditions.
DLR (Duplex Reticle) uses a classic duplex pattern with bold outer posts and a fine center point, providing a simple and precise sight picture without illumination.
Choose FDR if you want an illuminated aiming point for improved visibility in low-light conditions. Choose DLR if you prioritize a lightweight, affordable option designed for simplicity and value.
Q4. How do OUTRIDER scopes perform in harsh weather and low-light hunting conditions?
The OUTRIDER Series is built to deliver a clear sight picture and reliable performance in demanding field conditions. Japanese HD glass, high light transmission, and SFP reticles help maintain image clarity and reticle visibility from dawn to dusk. The FDR option adds an illuminated center point for improved visibility when light is limited. A hydrophobic lens coating helps repel water and oil, while waterproof, fogproof, and dustproof protection keeps the optic ready for changing outdoor environments.
Q5. Why does the OUTRIDER 2-12×42 use fixed parallax while the 3-18×50 uses adjustable parallax?
The OUTRIDER 2-12×42 uses a factory-set 100-yard fixed parallax, paired with a forgiving eyebox and large eyepiece to prioritize speed and simplicity in the field. The fixed-parallax design eliminates the need for manual side-focus adjustments, helping hunters stay focused on the target in fast-moving situations.
The OUTRIDER 3-18×50 is designed for higher magnification and longer-range applications, where precise parallax control becomes more important. Its side-focus adjustment allows hunters to fine-tune focus at different distances for greater aiming precision.
