Rifle Scopes Elcan 1.5-6 7.62 FDE

[Lostin89]

All,

My Elcan showed up Saturday and today I got to put it on the range.

Let me preface this by saying I was a coastie, only experience is rescue. Training on DI, pistols, shotguns and handguns, but all shooting experience is limited.


I've owned ACOGs, various LPVOs, and optics of all brands....and let me tell you, this Elcan was flat amazing.

Took me a grand total of 9 rounds to zero in my scar 17, and the last 3 of those 9 were stacked on top of each other at 100 yards.

I've flat out never had something on a rifle that made me feel more in control and in tune with my rifle. ARMS mount was very secure, and the red dot was daylight bright. Glass was extremely clear, hash marks were not overbearing like some optics (I get confused easy), and by the 12th round I was ringing steel at 200 yards with an ease that surprised.

It's expensive, but I can't believe it took me this long to get one...I'll never look back.

Thanks to everyone who pointed me in this direction, never would of made the leap without the push (reminded me of my first water insertion).

Exactly what I want for my scar 17.. your review just erased any doubt that was there

For your knowledge...if I had one complaint it would be the illumination knob. There is almost zero "click" or firmness to the dial. It kinda just rolls through each setting. That being said, the ability of choosing between a center dot or the crosshairs illuminated is awesome.

I still like ya man


Good to hear. They are amazing optics-but I've seen a love/hate thing with them and a lot of negativity about the ARMS mount-which I actually really liked-not to mention the money saved from not buying a mount. I'm starting to think I may need to get another one.

And you found a way to get another shade of brown on the SCAR-which looks cool as hell with the "can on it
