Elcan Specter DR 1.5-6X Combat Sight

The ELCAN SpecterDR 1.5-6x is the second evolution in the family of Dual Role optical sights. Based upon the battle-proven SpecterDR design, the SpecterDR 1.5-6x provides higher magnification to enable greater precision and longer engagement ranges, while at the same time providing exceptional field of view in CQB mode. The SpecterDR 1.5-6x enjoys ELCAN’s famous crystal-clear optics as well as a generous eye relief, making it the ideal instrument for designated marksman rifles and other long range applications. As with all SpecterDR sights, the magnification and field of view can be changed instantly with the throw of a lever with no change in eye-relief. Depending upon the situation, the user may adjust the sight to illuminate the crosshair or just a brilliant red dot in the center. Because the reticles are etched in glass, they are plainly visible even in the case of loss of electrical power due to battery failure or EMP. The SpecterDR family offers the best single solution for Long Range and CQB engagements and is designed to withstand the rigors of modern professional use. Calibrated for the M-80 7.62 NATO round.
