Here is a quick video review of arguably two of the best rifle optics on the market being reviewed by the Trigger Time Training Staff. The legendary EOTech model 512 and the Spectar DR Elcan 1 – 4 Duel Role optic are dissected and discussed. One is cheap and reliable, one is more expensive and robust. Enjoy the review and leave your comments at the bottom.

The elcan has built in iron sights that ride on to of the optic. Also as you sight in the elcan it will also sight in the irons at the same time because sighting it moves he entire optic.
Aimpoints, Trijicon, Leupold, Nightforce, and S&B. If your life depends on it. If not you might as well buy a halosun or a primary arms red dot and save yourself the money.
with your eotech, are u concerned with thermal drift?
Thank u
Nice review again. What is your opinion on Elcan Spectar replicas, made by other manufacturers for lower price. Have you tested any of these in comparison? I realize you usually get what you pay for so I won't be suprised if the replicas don't deliver as well, just curious about your results. Thanks
I like the review, but can't you use the etched reticle on the Elcan if you lose power? Why do you have to remove it?
Did he just fucking use the word fabulous?
@Trigger Time Training (T3), what do you think of Holosun's optics in comparison to the EOtech, or the Elcan 1-4?
on your Elcan Spectar have you done a distance challenge with that scope?
What brand of potato do you use to film?
You sir, get a subscription and a like for that Chimay. Good video, awesome optics, and maybe even better beer. Cheers!
Thinking about trading my {NIB} ELCAN for an EOtech and a new rifle.
nice review! I was just wondering why you said the downside of the elcan is having to physically remove it, Doesn't it come equipped with back up sights on top? Saving to get one soon…the limited edition flat dark earth is back!
You get what you pay for. I run an EOTech EXPS3 and love it, have always loved EOTech's. For about $1200, you can get an EOTech and a 3x magnifier, or for $2000, you can get a 1-4x magnified optic like the SpecterDR. Both are wonderful systems, and it ultimately will come down to what you honestly need/want, and how much you want to bankrupt your wallet.
what are your thoughts on the Leupold HAMR with DeltaPoint. I believe it to be very durable, great glass, awesome battery life, offers a red dot and 4x magnifier and with military discount costs around $1200. I have this on my SCAR 16 and am very confident with it. Only downside so far is the DeltaPoint is a pain to zero. Thanks for the video!
thx for the review! i have an EXPS3-0 works great for my Colt AR-15, I also have the Elcan SpecterDR 1-4x for my FN SCAR 17S. Well worth the money, both company's make great products.
The Elcan is cool but for $2k? I dunno. You could get 5 Eotech for that money.
Elcan 1.5-6 vs Vcog review would be interesting.
Great review. What's the possibility of Elcan DR vs Trijicon ACOG with RMR review & shoot off
Excellent review. Good job bud.
Great review. Thanks
