Alright,
I have a Mk18 clone that I have been using a T1 on. Red dots just are not doing it for me. Ive used ACOGs before and loved them. Ive been kinda kicking around the idea of a Elcan, but I really know nothing about them. Wheres a good place to buy them from? Are they really worth the price tag? |

I've been kicking it around for a bit to and finally ordered mine from AR15 Sport . Should be here Wednesday.
Guess I will find out the hard way if there worth it.

| I really want one but can't justify the price tag right now. As far as where to get one, I know weaponoutfitters was running a sale recently. https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=455273124509153&set=a.311457255557408.35158.139310196105449&type=1&relevant_count=1 (six troy mags free) |

I know someone did a side by side of one with a Nightforce 1-4 and the Nightforce plus mount was heavier than the Elcan The weight isnt a huge deal. But I hate having a over 10 pound SBR! I loved my T1 for being light weight. But it is the last red dot Ill own. They just do not do it for me |
| Plenty of online reviews and many threads here on the DR. EXCELLENT optic. I have two of them currently. As is frequently noted in reviews, it does not compare to a T-1. In my view anyone with a 1-x4 optic uses it at 1x or 4x 99% of the time. Same with flipping the lever on the Elcan. With the integrated mount it compares favorably to 1-4x optics with the mount included in the weight calculation. |

I figured "why pay for an adjustable zoom feature I most likely will never use"? Plus you can still BAC the illuminated chevron reticle like an ACOG at 4x and it is still pretty effective. |
