## Description

Elcan SpecterDR Rifle Scope w/Integral A.R.M.S. Picatinny Mount, 1-4x5.56mm, CX5395 Ballistic Reticle, FDE, DFOV14-T1

Review: Awesome optic - Optic is amazing. I have the 1.5-6 power for 7.62x51 and this optic didn’t disappoint. I actually like the reticle of 5.56 better for 7,8,900 yard ranging better than the reticle on the 7.62. The clarity of this glass and the ability to switch immediately from 1 to 4 power is awesome. Red dot is “aimpoint” bright and I love the upgrade to the CR2032 battery from the 1/3 N cell. Also the whole reticle illumination is very cool. The FDE looks much better in person than in the photos. Also, mine came with a kill flash and tenebrex flip covers already installed so I will have to send back these items I ordered with it. The arms mounts don’t bother me the way they do some people, never had a problem with the 1.5-6 power big brother and I don’t foresee it being an issue on this optic either. My only gripe was that Optics Planet, who the order was fulfilled through, shipped my 2k optic without any packaging other than the card board box it was put in. I know the Elcan is built like a tank, but come on Optics Planet you should be better than that I can’t imagine the the abuse this box took while en route, no wait I can as I used to be a package handler. If you can afford the optic go for it, it’s hard to beat.
Review: You get what you pay for. This gem oozes quality. - What a great product, I love it! - Built like an A1 Abrams. Solid piece of gear. - Glass is crystal clear. Clarity is right up there with my ACOG and US Optics scopes. - Field of view is huge. Just huge. - Red dot is highly visible in bright daylight. - Controls are easy to reach and manipulate, even with gloved hands. - Did I mention the glass is crystal clear? Gorgeous. The only thing I like more about my ACOG is the reticle illumination in daylight. The Elcan reticle can be a little bit harder to find/use with a super busy background, but this is not even close to being a deal-breaker. (The Elcan does have an illuminated reticle, but this is for low light situations - it will not show in bright daylight). I was pleasantly surprised to have also gotten 2x end caps (flip type) with the far side cap having an anti-reflection device built in. Nice touch! Last note, and not a biggie, the battery cover on mine did not match the picture. The picture had a little knurled cover on the reticle illumination knob - attached to the main body by a lanyard. Mine was simply a slotted screw in disk without a lanyard (need something like a quarter to open/close it). Overall, I'm very happy. This is a pricey optic, but well worth it in my opinion.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can someone tell me if this price is a misprint or something? If 495$ is correct what is the difference between this model elcan and the 2000$ version**
A: That price is from a company called I-SHOPPER STORE. They claim that the Elcan Spectre is new, but it looks like you can only get that price today. You will probably need to contact them directly for more information.

**Q: I see this radical set up for 556 , how is it for 223 round?**
A: The reticle is calibrated for M855 green tip (62grain) I believe.  As long as the bullet weight and speed are comparable the reticle should do fine.  If you’re using different bullet weights you’ll have to figure out the dope for each round.  There are different apps and online resources (ballistic calculators ie:StrelokPro) that will help you know how the different rounds will change points of impact on the reticle.

**Q: What gen is this fde one?**
A: to my knowledge, it's the 1 and only generation.  more brown/bronze than magpul FDE

**Q: Does it ship with batteries?**
A: yes it does

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you can afford it buy it!
*by 2***S on January 8, 2015*

Just wanted other prospective buyers to know that this scope is just as nice as these pictures depict it. The glass is very clear bright and the field of view beats all of my other scopes especially at 1x. The 1x to me appears to be a real 1x so both eyes open use is effortless. There are no adjustments to be made as it is a fixed focus with a 1-4x throw lever which works very well. The reticle looks really good to my eyes as well as the clarity and light transmission which is approaching theoretical limits here I bet. I looked through this for about a week every day at all kinds of things (weaponless) and I had all of my Zeiss, trijicon, valdada, burris and other scopes to compare back and forth. This scope even with it's small magnification level has resolution that all of the others can't live up to; so clear and bright. It trashed the other scopes and they are great scopes . I wish I could afford these on all of my long rifles. It is well worth the price and this color FDE really makes this thing look good even on a black rifle.
