ELCAN – Specter OZ™ 5-20x Continuous Optical Zoom System

A dealer have my name on a 1X3X9 for more than a year, asked him were we at with that, no clue for an ETA... If that stuff were on the shelves, they could not keep them in stock, they would sell in hours... Peoples crave for cool stuff... I am gone put my hope in this 5X20... JP.

The prototype (I'm assuming maybe a non functioning 3D printed), could you let us know?

I wish I could join you but if you would please ask them a couple questions.

1) the article stated the top (like a a Trijicon RMR) and bottom are separate, it is the bottom 5-20 (I'm assuming) people would be more interested in. Is it designed and do they have tooling to build it?

2) Assuming yes, who was it designed for or is it just a concept piece?

3) if it was designed for someone would it be possible to increase that production run?

4) if not what kind of a volume and price commitment would they need to produce it?

5) Does anyone at Elcan need a kidney/lung or blood transfusion. 8)

Thank for looking into this! I heard there are so many booths this year that to get to each of them in the 4 days you would have 13 seconds at each. Sounds like heaven!

Not a 3D printed prototype.

You don't go through the trouble of designing something like this and not creating a functioning prototype and you certainly don't try and shop it to potential customers without something tangeable.

Giddy up! Looking forward to hearing more from SHOT!
 
This is trying to target the same market as S&B and other high end.
I think it is a monstrosity. I would like to try the 1x3x9 but not this
 
From Nightforce's MIL-GOV-LE Business Development Manager:

It was built to meet the USSOCOM ECOS-O requirement.

Very neat design! I'm hoping to get an opportunity to finger bang one at SHOT.

There was one displayed at CANSEC, 2013 (didn't go this past year). It's pretty cool, but not much FOV.

Built like a tank, but didn't feel that heavy. And of course, being Elcan, the glass was absolutely amazing.
