Is an Elcan Spectre 1.5X6 overkill for my XCR-M....

[caramel]

Since i have stellar results with my XCR-M, i am looking to upgrade my optic, did a lot of reading on the Elcan spectre 1.5X6 and it look like it is the best around, any of you guys tried one... JP.

i have one on my hk mr223. i bit heavier than most optics, but top of the line in my opinion

 

[caramel]

Yes, it is at 25 ounces, is heavy but if i compare to my SXB PM11 5X25 (34 ounces)... JP.

Use one on my XCR-L in 6.8 for big game hunting, love it!

 

[caramel]

Yep... look like it... JP.

A fabulous optic - great glass, very easy to change magnifications, and while a bit heavy on it's own seems to balance well on my SR-25.
Buy once, cry once as they say but you'll never look back after that

It has fantastic glass, that is for sure. Super durable optic meant to be tossed around w/o worring about it.

Just got to be ok with the fact that its non-variable, being either 1.5x or 6x but nothing in between. If you want variable in the 1.5-6x magnification, there's the very good U.S. Optics SR-6 in single ($1,300 US) or dual focal plane ($1,500 US) that weighs in at 22.4 onces. Not exactly the same configuration (compact footprint of the Elcan), but another option out of many.

I have the Elcan 1.5-6 on my LMT MWS .308 and love it!

If you have the strength to carry, fire and control felt recoil repeatidly, then go for it. It is a gorgeous optic for sure.
