I would love an Elcan

Me too....even though I don't own any scary black things (yet), just to use at drill or whatever...but yeah, the 2-3K price tag is a little above my pay grade....

You can put together an awesome rifle for less than that.

You can put together several awesome rifles for less than that.

I was talking specifically about the price of the Elcan Specter sight by itself...pretty pricey to say the least....

I carried one on my last deployment and loved it. I like being able to switch between 1x and 4x with the throw of a single lever (without needing two separate dohickies on top of my rifle) when I'm going in and out of villages (where I might need close up) and the valleys they're in (where I might need to engage someone at 500m trying to ambush me on the ridgeline).

I liked the Elcan a lot better than the ACOG I carried on my first deployment and the EOTech I had on my second one (and all of those better than the Aimpoint CCOs my unit currently uses lol)

may i ask what acog that was ? I've looked through many different scopes, yet my Trijicon ACOG is the best piece of glass imo. Our rifles don't have scopes we rocking 80's style(a2's). Hopefully we are getting them replaced, because they are truly atrocious to shoot. Plus we don't get the fun bits like the m203 .
Edit: Also the Specter DR? or the normal Specter 4x?

Um, whichever the standard issue Trijicon ACOG 4x32 was back in 2008! Looking at their website, I'd say it's most likely the TA01NSN https://www.trijicon.com/na_en/products/product3.php?pid=TA01NSN
This is the Elcan I deployed with in 2011: ELCAN Specter DR 1-4x http://www.raytheon.com/capabilities/products/dualrole_ws/

As a straight, simple scope, yes the ACOG is a great piece, I'd kinda rather have one over my currently issued CCO. Problem is that I d9nt like them for close up stuff, not when I can have an Elcan and throw a lever and see what I'm looking at close up in a compound, but then when I have to engage some *** hole 300m away down the road on a balconey, I can rapidly go into 4x and aim and engage, then go back and clear rooms in the next compound all in one sight. That's why I really, really, really wanna Elcan lol

Iron sights. Be a bad mother ****er.

I miss my little buddies. This one especially y. It's being babysat while I'm OCONUS.

[CANMAN]

I get that "Nurse Pay" ha

I have a new dilemma. I took my Nightforce scope off my SCAR and put it on my R700 so now I need a new optic for the SCAR. I would love an Elcan or another Nightforce but I do not want to spend $2k. Maybe an ACOG, which isn't much cheaper.

If I had your money I would burn mine for heat!

Well since I've already acquainted everyone with my AR-15 build and since this is post 1,911 (1911) I figured that I'd share my shotgun. So here it is. Benelli Supernova 12 gauge pump with a 28 inch barrel. I originally wanted a 26 inch barrel for upland game hunting but I settled since it was out of stock at the time. I absolutely love this gun, I've shot the big 2... well the big 3. 870's, 500's, and 590's even though I paid a tad bit more for the benelli it was worth every penny. Only shotgun that I've shot to where my shoulder doesn't hurt afterwards. Plus takedown is easy.

There are ways of fixing the shoulder deal.

Lmao. It ain't that, its more comfortable for me to shoot. If I could have it my way I'd own a 870 and 500.

Who would've thought... a LEO who prefers a 870...

Not I! ... I mean to be fair my favoritist shotgun ever is the SRM1216... but thats not practical im told...

 

[Qulevrius]

K-VAR has CZ75 Compacts on sale, $559 a piece. So tempted.

 

[Operations Guy]

Glock Blue Label is the way to go. Major discount for EMS, Fire, LEO, ext. Also blue label comes with three mags. The only difference is the label on the box is blue showing its discounted for the program. Most Glock dealers have them in stock but won't tell you about it unless you ask cause they don't make money on the blue label program.

 

[Old Tracker]

Thanks for the heads up on the Blue Label program. I see another big dent in a forthcoming paycheck in the next couple of months.
