Yeah a genuine elcan is around 900 bucks, last time I saw.

They're really not worth spending the money for a real steel one... I much prefer Iron sights or an EOTech...

Just going to tell you something really useful.
Search up "EOtech" on google and you'll find the information you need.

Like Panzer said, don't bother buying them. ACOG's are much better alternative and the repro's are getting better and better.

I use one at work, and I hate it, I'd rather use the irons.

Anything by ELCAN makes baby Jesus cry.

pugs, check out the Spectre DR, seems like it'll be a good sight an it's made by Elcan.

Yeah I've read up on it a bit... Seems pretty good only thing is that price tag... it's about 2x the price of a real EOTech

It's not bad when you factor in that the Specter has a 4x magnifier built into it.

pugs144 · July 15th, 2009, 12:05

End users have experienced issues with loss of zero after switching back and forth between 1-4X. I don't know why ELCAN chose to keep the elevation adjustment system that moves the entire scope as opposed to moving the reticle internally. That was one of the issues on the C79.

Why did the DR get selected for SOPMOD Block 2? Politics.

I'd love to get a DR but the execution fell flat. I'll go ACOG.
