$2000????? Elcan Specter DR 1-4X

[rifleman88]

Anyone tried one of this?-http://www.mountsplus.com/AR-15_Accessories/AR-15_Scope_Rings/ATI-ELCAN-DFOV14-C1.html, I know it's a bit pricey, but if it works well, I sure can live with the cost.

I've shot with one on a scar. Definitely high quality. For that coin I'd get a variable acog.

Nice, clear glass. Big, heavy bastard and only a 1 or 4. Far better choices available for the money.

They have a 1.5x and 6x model too.

Doesn't solve the "Damn, that is a heavy bitch" problem, though

wakal said everything I would have said. Much better options out there for less than half the price.

Go lift weights. Lol.

I would rather have a nice 1-4x24, but that's just me.

Heh...

Learn to shoot (fast) and it becomes truth: Lighter is faster

Or carry a rifle farther than the back of the truck to the shooting line

For that kind of coin I would rather get the Vortex 1-6x that Miculek developed. But alas that is well beyond my budget for even a rifle.

 

[cajunautoxer]

I'd rather get the Vortex 1-6 and 2 cases of .223 for that price

For that price, the damn thing better make coffee and hump my ruck.

So what exactly does it do that's so much better?

I just received my Elcan Specter DR 1.5-6 & I have to say this fucker rocks. Yeah it's heavy & expensive, but I aint some weak-ass broke dick. It's what I wanted for my M-16 Commando, so I bought one.

Sure I heard how I should buy an ACOG, S&B Shot Dot & a couple other optics. Most of that was from peeps whose entire gun budget for the year is less then my Elcan.

I guess I'll never know what it does better then other optics simply because I don't give a shit!

I've always thought great optics were worth the money.

No reason to be jealous. When I first moved to Houston in the early 80's there was a range west of highway 6 south of were Fountains Firearms. Can't remember its name.

One day a buddy & me were shooting there, when a helicopter lands & 3 guys get out with some very high end rifles. Looked as if they might be getting ready for a hunting trip. My Buddy The Village Idiot made the comment about it must be nice to fly around in a helicopter. One of the guys reply set goals & go for it!

About a year ago I decided I wanted an M-16. It wasn't as cheap as they were when I decide on one, but I saved. Once the owner was paid I had to figure out what I wanted for it. I see guys with their Shrikes I figured for less then the cost of a Shrike I could buy the accessories to pimp out a killer M-16A2.

Strange thing is I have started selling off some of the guns in the safe that aint been shot in 30 years. I've seen huge profits on them from what I've paid. It's helped buy the new toys.

I'll most likely sell off a few more guns. That money will go into more ammo. I still have some ammo I bought pre Slick Willy taking office.

I have a CMMG dedicated M-4 PDW .22 coming too. Mt stock pile of .22's needs thinning.

 

[ZX9RCAM]

That can work, but I was also referring to ALL your FA toys.......

 

[wakal]

Amazing how fast .22 disappears when you have full auto .22's. I need a few more pallets full.

Just got in a pair of Leupold Mk6 FFP 1-6...amazing how light they are, and (oddly enough) they have something going on between one and six




Will try to break them and see what happens.
