I haven't looked at an Elcan, but I have swaro binos and a spotting scope. I was at Yellowstone looking at a grizzly bear through the spotter recently, and I could still see long after someone else said it was too dark to see anything in their spotter. You get what you pay for.Is the Elcan worth $2K?
Why?
I went from a Geissele 1.93" to Scalarworks 1.93" back to a Geissele but 2.04", I wish Reptilia would hurry up and come out with 1.93" or taller mounts.All things considered for the price, I'd just get a Kahles 1-6 with a Geissele mount.
One guys opinion on the Elcan.
Not that heavy...a Kahles 1-6x24i + Geissele Super Precision Scope 1.93" Mount weighs 25.8oz vs Elcan SpecterDR Optical Sight model 1-4x 5.56 NATO DFOV14-T1 at 23.2 oz.It is heavy, but I wouldn't trade mine in. I bought mine lightly used to make myself feel a little better about the cost. The glass itself is exceptional and its been thru a few classes and never failed me regardless of conditions.

So you're telling me that the deal that looks too good to be true is actually too good to be true?Whatever you do, don't buy an Elcan off Alibaba.com…. You'll wind up getting a Tincan from Beijing!
Yep….. and don't fall for the YouTube "van life is paradise" trap, either!So you're telling me that the deal that looks too good to be true is actually too good to be true?
It's only paradise because the tuber is incredibly hawt!Yep….. and don't fall for the YouTube "van life is paradise" trap, either!
Even a max-size 33' Airstream requires a lot more minimalist/spartan lifestyle than I bet most here, myself included, are up for... just out of curiosity I was perusing their floorplans and there's nowhere secure to store guns/ammo plus the low cargo weight limit.It's only paradise because the tuber is incredibly hawt!

Re the "Vehicular Nomad" lifestyle. "Van life" is hard to do even solo, a companion no matter how hawt doubles the challenges, and even upgrading to a full trailer still means cutting out a lot that most folks take for granted.......?

Some guys here, even the largest Class-A would only do their reloading bench and ammo stash, with a second rig as "rolling gun vault"...
