Buy Once, Cry Once - Elcan SpecterDR

[VanIsleSteve]

I decided to kill some time while the wife was shopping, decided to visit the folks at Wanstall's. I swear, it was just to browse as I never make it out that way. Been trying to decide on a new optic for my Tavor, was eyeing up the Vortex, Trijicon, Burris, etc. Long story short, with the help of the guys in the shop, I made a decision







Oh yeah, picked up a couple LAR mags and a T-#### as well. Looking forward to trying her out!

Thanks, I also heard nothing but good things, and comparing it to many in the shop it was a winner for my eyes. Just as clear at 4x as it is at 1x

That third photo is a great shot!

The spectre on a tavor is pretty much the pb&j of the gun community. Well done.

Thanks, wish it was a little clearer, but it was taken with my phone

Im saving my pennies for a 2nd one. I love these sights. It gets tiring switching it from my Tavor to my IUR

Your Tavor is one lucky rifle! Super jealous, great choice. I wish you a speedy recovery after this wife is done with you!

I to love these sights, but buying new is not for me! I like picking them up between $1250-1650.

I didn't buy new, although it looks like it

It'll serve you well. Definitely love the quick switch from 1-4. Worth every penny

Well done - beautiful optic!

Like someone else said - worth every penny (it's just a lot of pennies ....).

Ok, now I want one too. Where are you finding these for $1250-1650?
I see one in teh EE but it's $2500, is damaged, and looks like an older model.

Also looking for one in that price range

You guys will have a tough time. Everytime I found them has been fluke, especially the $1250 one. All of the ones I have found (5 of them, four 1-4x and one 1.5-6x) have been snagged up off the ee as quick as I could type "I'll take it."

TikkaTac has BNIB Specter DRs for right near the $2k mark. I splurged and bought an FDE model off of him this winter.

good grief. realizing you have a problem is the first step in fixing an addiction.

I did that with my 4 tavors! I now only have one!

 

[Clvland]

I've been looking at the elcan DR for my Tavor as well but I am always kind of turned off by the fact that the BDC is going to be way off. Is there a way to make use of the elcans BDC with the tavor?
