 Well after awhile of thinking about it I finally got a Mil Spec 7moa model.  I wanted a Mil-Spec model to piggy back my ACOGNSN.  It is water proof and has better electronics.  It took me just a couple of minutes to install.  The screen has a blue tint to it with a bright red dot.  There is no muzzle side signature.  On the muzzle side of the screen it has a orange tint to it.
 When I first got it I thought they forgot something.  A bottom plate to the scope. The electronics is open on the bottom until you put the seal on and mount it.
Aiming is very natural even on the ACOG.  Good for close in work.
 I'll post pics when I can.

 Just thought I would give the group a sit rep.

I bought the mount from the guys at specwargear.com for about $60.

I got the scope from Arizona Gun Runners for $710 after shipping.

Here is a file copy from specwargear.com.  This isn't exactly what it looks like but its close.

He purchased to TA01NSN from AGR for $710.

He was asking where he got the DR Optic.

The Docter is the subject of this post, and AGR sells the Docter for $691 plus shipping, so the $710 sounds about right.  AGR advertises $956 for the NSN.

$691.00 [shock]

Umm no!

The Dr should be about $265.00

He got the TA01NSN for $710.00

Now to CMA if he paid $710.00 for that Dr. WHOA did he get ripped!

Edit: read this [url]http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=18&t=172623[/url]

And those are MSRP prices listed, you call to get the real price. [;)]

According to http://www.docteropticsusa.com/doctersight/lawenf.html

The LE/MIL model is tested to be waterproof.  It may have a brighter LED, but I'm not certain from the webpage.

Thanks for the pic but I wanted to see the mill spec Dr.  I have had a standard Dr on my NSN for years.

Also Arizonagunrunners.com only lists a 3.5 MOA Dr.  Do they also stock the 7 MOA or did they have to special order it?

Yes the LE/Mil-Spec version of the Docter Optics is $691.00 plus shipping.

I talked to Gary at AGR about that. He said that he had a 7moa but his web site said 3.5moa.  I asked him if he would do a visual confirmation before I ordered.  It was 7moa.  He said they shipped him the wrong one...to my benefit.  

I gave $710.00 for the Docter Optics.
I gave $ 60.00 for the ACOG/Docter interface.
I gave $765.00 for the ACOG 4x32 NSN.

I got the ACOG about year ago from SWFA.

I know the ACOG is waterproof so I wanted a red dot scope to go on it that was water proof as well.

Expensive?  Depends how you look at it.  Quality doesn't cost...it pays...in my book.  Its a life time investment.  I will never have to buy another one again....at least that is what I tell my wife, and she is like "oh...ok".

Just my thoughts.

I'm bad.

[b]"I got the scope from Arizona Gun Runners for $710 after shipping."[/b]

I thought he was talking about the ACOG and not the DOCTORsight. Getting easily confused in my later years.

I thought he meant $710 for the Trijicon model also. Jesus Christ, $710 for the Dr. Optic. Is their anything else besides being water proof that is different in between the $710 model and the $265 model? If not I would have purchase the $265 model and it it drowned I would buy a new one. I have allways thought that the NSN-Dr Optic combo would be one of the sweetest set ups around though.

The only difference between the orginal and mil spec is the waterproof feature ($500 option).

Although I am NOT willing to try this on my non-milspec Dr Optic sight, perhaps one could "waterproof" the electronics by flooding the inside of the housing with wax. Again, this is just a silly (but somewhat clever?) idea to get the unit "waterproof." As for myself, the non-milspec unit is water "resistant" enough for me.....

My Docter is mainly for my HK handguns. Occasionally, I have it on the top of the TA01NSN just for the sake of their look. I really don't have any special mission to carry it under the water, or patroling with it under the rain.

If the waterproof feature costs less than a hundred bucks to upgrade. I would consider to get one.

Just for the sake to look cool on the TA01NSN: a normal version of the Docter sight is good enough.

I e-mailed this question to [email protected]




[i]What is the difference between the regular DOCTORsight and the LE model. I
read in a message post that the LE is waterproof to 75 feet deep. Does that
mean that if it rains you cannot use the regular DOCTORsight?


Thank you for your time.


Dan[/i]



[b]No it means that the LE Model is submersible not water resistant like the
regular unit

I have a standard DR that I have compleatly submersed in water.  The unit continues to work just fine.  However I would suggest (as do the instuctions) that you flush it with distilled water and air dry it to prevent corrosion.
