Following @Stomper and @solv3nt 's tangent in posts 13 and 14... blame them for opening the door.

Like anybody reads their posts...

Don't blame ME for a thread derail. In reference to the complaints of the cost of an Elcan all I said was don't try and buy one off Alibaba.com. I didn't go off on bangin' some hottie (who mentioned sometimes not getting a shower for THREE WEEKS!!) in an Airstream.


and…

I was going to say, someone took our derail, took a left turn and kept on going to Neverland.

Whatever you do, don't buy an Elcan off Alibaba.com…. You'll wind up getting a Tincan from Beijing!

Arisaka spells that out on the site...

We do not recommend purchasing Arisaka products on eBay or Amazon unless you can verify that the seller is one of our authorized dealers below.

We do not license our designs to any airsoft manufacturers, so all "arisaka" products you find on Alibaba/Aliexpress are counterfeits.

You're still just mad because you can't date me. AOC took it pretty hard as well.

You said, "hard".

OK well this thread has gone off the rails and I pretty much decided to pass on the Elcan . Thanks all.

I have a 4X Elcan Spectre OS on my Rattler. Yeas its big. Its also the clearest glass Ive ever used. Its like looking through a 4X window. Nothing Ive ever seen compares.

Is it your first piece of Euro glass? You know what they say, once you go Euro there no going back.

I got burned on a Zeiss once Wouldnt touch that stuff for years.

In any case Elcan is made by Raytheon in Canada,

Yes but I believe their glass is from Leica which is out of Wetzlar Germany

I have Euro glass and nicer Japanese glass from LOW. Either does fine for me.

Heavy AF but absolutely Bombproof. I'm rockin the specter DR on a SCAR. If you got the guap go get yourself one!

It's about 24 ounces which isn't bad considering many LPVOs are around 20 ounces and robust mounts are 8ish ounces+.

I like Elcans a lot, and the eye relief is constant between 1x and 4x.

Good glass, nice feature, and when you're out of ammo its a good battlehammer.
