CHRIS's Review of Elcan SpecterOS 4x Combat Optical Sight w/Picatinny Mount, Anti-Reflection Device
OK,
So it doesn't have the flip between 1-4, for me its not a big deal here's why your saving about $700 bucks between the two models ( ABOUT THE COST OF AN AIMPOINT T-2 ) and the only difference is the flip switch. Its the same housing, NVG compatibility, sight adjustment etc. Mine came with the Kill flash installed it does look pretty big on top of a 5.56 AR I will be honest... but the glass is crystal clear and sighting it in was an absolute breeze all functions are tactile and it feels like quality. For under a grand you can get an amazing fixed 4x which is less than an ACOG generally. Only gripe is eye relief is a little unforgiving but once you figure out where you need to mount in regards to cheek weld its not a problem. I have no issues engaging targets within 7 yards and getting a good sight picture. Also I bought the CX5855 model because frankly I liked the reticle better and I don't feel the extra $222 dollars is worth the chevron model. I must note that I bought this model many for the name and price it was an Elcan for under a grand its not my only optic I have Eotechs, Aimpoints, PA, Holosun. This sight serves a specific purpose for a specific upper, so the 1-4 capability was not a must. if your looking for a fixed 4x this should be in your purview. Oh and don't get caught up in the its meant for a 62 grain projectile I shoot tons of wolf .223 and this thing works fine.
