I figured what you guys had was purely carnal

Did you marry for the likes and comments Hop? Sorry was trying to be like “marry for money” but with some you tube spin and failed😂

Still more valid reason for a divorce than a man leaving toilet seat up.

Hop😂

Uhhh why does this post say it was 2 months ago even though the video was just posted today?

FYI, Brassfacts just personally insulted me after I left a polite comment on his video. He has poor character.

If it's an ACOG, LCAN or aimpoint that means they were used as intended and are probably just fine 😂

Hi Elcan Engineer. I'll settle for a wish list :D Is there any plans for a modernized reticle?

@@BrassFacts We actually do commonly customize the reticle to suit the needs of our military customers :) What kind of features would you be looking for?

​@@soybombiambomb A ton of things actually 1)No question, Elcans are used on shorter 556 rifles far more than than the BDC configured 14.5". You can do a lot to make the BDC work, such as a custom non 100m zero, but it's very surprising that there really aren't any SBR/pistol ~11" configured BDCs. 2) The lines are thick. Way to thick. Fine for the leading lines, and center dot. But the BDC portion is basically size 18 font bold. It's tough to see targets that are anything other than fullsized under them. Not to point to a competitor but trijicon ta31s have a very nice fine BDC. Speed is irrelevant because no one is snapping a 1 second split 300 yard shot. 3) Wind holds. Even a single 10mph or 5mph one would be enough to allow for bracketing. 2 would be best. Once again, needs to be in a smaller "font" if possible. 4) yards configured bdc. Thanks for listening

Why acss version release? I hear it's in your shop...

If you make an elcan with wind holds, I will buy it. It might be the only thing that would get me to replace the ELCAN on my current favorite rifle.

No thank you! Lol! I try to be wise and learn from the mistakes of others instead of learning things the hard way and making the mistake myself.

​@@leroyjenkins4811 some mistakes you NEED to make because some things are only mistakes for other people. Owning an RX-8 is a mistake for most people, the RX-8 has been my longest owned car to this day, one that I adore and wrench on weekly by choice. I repacked and basically remade that engine some 3 years ago, and have had no issues since. Feel free to learn from other people's mistakes, but don't discount making those choices your self because we're all different people. A 20" AR with carry handle mounted 3.5x battery powered ACOG is a mistake for 99% of people, it's also my favorite rifle.

​@@speakfreely.1776 dint ax

Same here. Used them. Loved them. My Eotechs were fragile back then. The M68 was a perfect red dot but no mag. We sometimes would put ACOGS behind them since no such thing as a magnifier then. Then this beauty came out and I was in love. Still use them but feel like I have to justify to all the trend-snobs at the gun store.

Ciertamente..... Indeed

You sir, are a scholar

I came here to find this comment

it's been tried, wolf made one.

@@BrassFacts weren't they just the importer? could've sworn they were in made RU. That said, they were "ok" on price ($600ish IIRC) but the optical quality was pretty poor. I looked into one a few years back for my 5.56 AK project.

@@BrassFacts Huh, I remember looking into other options like the Elcan and not finding anything. Just looked it up and it came out way back in 2015? That's an eternity ago in terms of what has been developed in the intervening years...and at a price that isn't much lower than the Elcan while apparently just being overall worse. Time for a non Russian company to give it a go!

​@@pdxmarine1430 it would be similarly priced to the elcan It seems it takes just around 1000 bucks to make a duty grade fixed prism scope. Add 200-300 for the 1x. And then 200-300 for the mechanism

@@BrassFacts while I'd never call the PA SLx duty grade, it's fairly robust and can be had for under 250 for the 1x and under 350 for the 5x I would imagine putting both sets of glass and a mechanism for switching between them could be done for around 400 putting the price tag for the whole thing at around 1k Would it be duty grade? No. Would it be robust enough for the vast majority of people and really popular as an alternative to an LPVO or red dot magnifier combo? I think it would, though granted I've not done any consumer research on it, but I think an affordable version of the Elcan concept, especially if they put out in an aesthetically pleasing body would be pretty damn appealing to a ton of people

thinner reticle.

Agreed. So many tweeks can be made.

Saaaaame

Don't be an elCAN'T

@@innercityprepper thats so racist bro

I personally like both of my elchildren and want one more.

Spot on, type 2 here!

I’ll take my overpriced Elcan over my overpriced aimpoint any day of the week.

Can you share your experience with the 1.5/6? Thanks!

Does everyingthing an aim point with a magnifier can for twice the money, twice the weight and a worse experience

@@jb76489spoken like a true gun community trendster. You don’t have to like it but it is superior in many ways to red dot and mag combo. Also has a few cons as well, as do all optic variations. The elcan is some pretty amazing tech that no one else has gotten quite right. It’s worth every Penny and has never let me down when it mattered. It made me very fast while maintaining my cheek weld. Wish I could switch magnification without moving my firing hand (southpaw) but that’s life. No need to be snarky when most of the advocates have lots of real-life experience using them.

@@jb76489never used yours in inclement weather huh

It's amazing on the AUG. The eye relief is practically set to the same length of pull as the AUG.

why do you think the ADF standard issues it for all our EF88's

That was admittedly a long time ago

Thought those were discontinued?

@@noscopesallowed8128 did they really? Man, that's disappointing, its an amazing optic

was it a good burrito.

​@@BrassFacts T'was a great burrito. I scheduled it to occur with my weekly "Brass Facts and Burritos" lunch break on Fridays

yeah, the older elcans also were reaaaaaaaly prone to dying to gritty sand. The new ones aren't immune either,.

@@BrassFacts we didnt have any die from sand but we did from the violent shock the scar produced and when they attempted to put them on mk48 and m240b's. key to keeping them clicking with the sand is to have a air compressor and know the points that sand would get into the gears and clean it after each mission along with nods and all other sensative equipment.

I broke an M145 during a 14 month deployment. Unfortunately there was no replacement for it so I just spent months with an unzeroed 145 that couldn't be properly adjusted and had to walk my rounds in using it as just a general reference point. I hated that optic so much. The specter dr is definitely an improvement.

Similar experience here. We had issues with the older Eotechs failing, so mostly used the M68. Sometimes with ACOG mounted behind. Wild West shit back then. Elcan was such a damned treat when we got them. I never used the XPS/magnifier combo while in and it still doesn’t excite me.

You’re not wrong, and that setup I very equivalent. I think at that point, it’s just preference and individual school of thought. I have both and I they both have some benefit over the other.

That’s great until you need to switch sides clearing a building and your red dot forces you to nearly enter the hallway. Offset optics may be fine for gamers, but terrible for combat. They are also useless while wearing NVG.

I speak from experience.

the vcog is sweet, I like everything about it, except the weight

Did you get it used? I've never seen new prices close to that.

I’d like to get a VCOG next but have never seen them in any lgs here. Have an Elcan on my go-to and ACOG TA31 and TA11 on other rifles but would really like to try a VCOG

A 1-6 VCOG weighs same as an Elcan.

the 6hd 1-6x is probably the closet we'll ever get. Which is why I bought one

And the Mark AR and VX-R Patrol. Leupold has an amazing talent for squandering their weight advantage over pretty much everyone else on the market.

@@stevefaiello3321 I regret selling my VX-R Patrol 3-9x with the TMR firedot reticle. All these people doing MPVOs now. That thing was light. Just needed caped turrets.

@@michaelbarber6215 used to be you could send a scope to the custom shop and have them modify it to your hearts content, including stuff like capped mil turrets and the like, but that got shut down for COVID and never came back.

cant overpay for perfection... except in all of the other scenarios that aren't the elcan.

Agreed. Fixed zooms are the way to go. We don’t use anything in between. So why waste time SLOWLY turning a power ring?

The LED Acog has a 1.5 year battery life.

You dont actually need to change head position with the ACOG. I've learned that the RMR sits at the perfect height for you to just rotate the rifle a little, like you would with an offset dot, and the dot will line up with your left eye. Little weird and takes some getting used to, but let's you keep your head in the same spot to switch magnification.

"Decent eye relief like the ACOG" so the dogshit terrible eye relief of the acog is somehow a plus now ?

@@slipknnnothe says FOV just as good as an ACOG. I know 8months to late

can't let the army boys get credit for stuff they didn't do.

Based and Ted pilled.

the code work probably has something to do with elcans... or rechargeable batteries

I dont like the 1.5-6x. my biggest pro of the elcan was the 1x

I wish they' make a 2-8x, that would slay. I'm curious as to what makes them stick to a 4x power though, probably something having to do with the geometry of the prism.

How much did you pay for your px4i?

@@TerminalM193 $550 with a Steiner mount included.

@@benb50001 Damn.... You lucky dog. Congrats on getting it before the insane price jump! I've been looking far and wide for one but I refuse to pay over 900 for one. If I can find one for 750 or less I would consider but honestly that's just a pipe dream now.... No way that optic will ever go back in price.

@Arcana I didn't realize how much they'd gone up. At that price, I don't think its worth it.
