[Repost]Elcan SpecterDR->
 

I've read a lot of thread on the SpecterDR on ASC and don't find any answer to my question: I want the 1X-4X model, and with a search on the net, only Element Airsoft produce them, they're not on stock right now and I don't want a 4X model. Is any one have more information on a good 1X-4X replica?

Get the real steel one. Better in every way.

And 10 times the price too...

But no Element does not have sent the replica to retailer yet so you'll have to wait a bit longer.

I think if I had 3000 to drop on anything it would not be on a sight for airsoft. as my luck would have it the first game i use it in the optics would get shot out or something

RS optics should be able to withstand a hit from a bb, but probably only up to a certain fps. I not really worried when I bring my ACOG out.

If that's your worry put a honeycomb or killflash on it, it will make a good protection ;)

Ok, someone just answer me via PM on another forum that the Element SpecterDR should be released at the end of the month, for +/- $199.99.

Do you believe this intel?

I dunno... I'm in contact with a mainland china distributor and they still don't have any ETA... they were announced for release back in july, so really I don't know who I should believe now.

IMHO the 4X fixed + mini dot (Docter, MRD, etc) is the best solution. Based on the prototype pics I've seen, the 1-4x version has a much smaller optic diameter and most likely a shorter focal lenght, both of which are top-selling points of the 4x.

Since the SpecterDR replica is not doing what it's supposed to be replicating, this setup is the most afordable, replica wise.

Yeah, but the eye relief sucks on ^those^ magnifiers.

The 4X Specter has pretty good eye relief, especially for a clone.

Friend of mine deals with the Boss of Element airsoft, and the 1-4x model is completed.... ETA end of january,

- MSRP = 149$
- Same eye relief as the fixed magnification one
- Will withstand gbbr recoil

:D

149$? It's the price for a 4x replica! :eek: It should be more like 199$... Well... I think!

Tagged for interest....

I have a real one, and if I can get ahold of a replica, I'd be very interested to compare them.

NS

I remember there was a model not Elcan which was 1x-4x.. So I'm sure there will be a Specter working 1-4

@Hitman: What? I'm not sure I get what you mean.

End of january? Are you sure it wasn't end of july 2010? :D

Well... still interested but so far my fixed 4x+ Docter is awesome. I just hope they'll get the FDE (bronze-ish) color right, and not that "Pimp Gold" color they had for the fixed one...

Sorry, there was a 1-4x model China brand optic which was made for airsoft. I saw it somewhere, so I assume there should be the 1-4x Specter. They're probably just loafting on it..

Yeah well the Z-Tactical and the Element, which are actually the same company.

There was pics of another unbranded prototype, which turned out to be the Element one.

It is Mark 4 CQ/T 1-3x Scope replica.

Interestingly....

I understand from sources at the SHOT show this year, that ELCAN has now produced a fixed 4X Elcan Specter.

Price savings is to be around $4-500 from the regular cost of a Specter DR.

Still spendy.
