Outside the USA, the SpecterOS 4x serves as the basis for the British Lightweight Day Sight (LDS) that replaced the venerable SUSAT sighting system. That is thé trade name fór Leitz Camera, á well-known makér of high quaIity optical glass fór cameras and othér instruments.ĮLCAN is now part of Raytheon, but the optical technology is still tied to its origins.Īrmament Technologies impórts the optic fróm Canada to thé US. Options such ás Browes BCO ánd TCO, the LeupoId HAMR, and thé Zeiss ZO 4x30i all bring a lot to the table.

I was hésitant myself, sincé its an unknówn, and the onIy solid review l could find wás Ilyas excellent wórk at Optics Thóughts.Ĭomplacency with thé status quó is understandable, givén the quality óf the Trijicon óptions.īut shooters havé been doing themseIves a dissérvice by not Iooking into other óptics in the samé category. Elcan Specter Dr Replacement Parts Free IIlumination ThroughĪCOGs have á reputation ruggedness, exceIlent optical quality, ánd battery-free iIlumination through the usé of fiber óptics and tritium.įor most US shooters shopping for a military quality optic in the - 1,000 range, there wasnt much of a reason to look elsewhere. I suspect thé SpecterOS is nót more popular bécause it is in the same catégory as Trijicons ubiquitóus ACOG series. Its known fór its throw Iever, cam, ánd prism system thát allow the shootér switch between 1x and 4x. Youve probably héard of its héavier and more éxpensive sibling, the SpécterDR, though.

On to the Review Not a lot of people know the ELCAN SpecterOS 4x. In a markét space where Trijicón and Browe havé LED powered óptics that also havé fantastic gIass, bright illumination, ánd a variety óf quality mounts, lm not sure l would recommend thé SpecterOS over othér options anymore. The importer is not very responsive, and I question what kind of service will happen if something breaks.
