Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 2Keylows: Correct, with the exception of the reticle. Su230s have a finer/cleaner crosshair BDC and has ranging starting at 200m and a more open targeting point at 700-1000m. (for M249s) Civi models have a thicker crosshair with ranging starting at 300m. There is also a range estimator on the bottom left for man sized targets. Don't let the HD designation deter you from picking up an older Elcan/Su. Unless its going on a beltfed.

I want an NT4...sadly, I don’t think that will ever happen, given the cost. There is a ceiling to what I can spend on my clone disease, and NODs and NT4’s are above that.

I can believe no MK18'r hasn't picked up my faux Tanodized G33 from the EE... cheap, great for taking pictures, and you can actually shoot with it too if so desired! :) It's crazy how close these 'softer's are making our gear now - hard to tell the difference sometimes.
