If these were the only choices on the market what would you choose?
Elcan Specter DR - 1x / 4x IOR Valdada Pitbull - 1x / 4x 4x ACOG with Docter mini red dot piggy backed 1-4x variable scope - pick a brand Aimpoint or Eotech with magnifier |

Quoted:
What's the mission... Mission drives the gear Short to medium range. Hopefully nothing more vital than 3-gun competition, but in a SHTF situation do you ever know what the mission will be? I want the best all-purpose option i.e. one solution to work in the most possible situations. I am leaning towards the 1x / 4x switchable and specifically the Pitbull over the Elcan because of cost. I just don't care for variable focus, I like aimpoint but I prefer a single unit. The ACOG seems like a possible option but you have to raise your head to use the red dot. |

The ELCAN is me favorite! Great optics, great reticle, the illumination is outstanding (You can illuminate the whole cross hair for lowlight shooting or just illuminate just the dot. The Dot gets as bright as an Aimpoint), extremely well made, and the 1x to 4x flip switch illumination is very, very nice to have.
I have not used the IOR 1x4x but we will be geting some. Mike @ CSGW www.csgunworks.com [email protected] Here’s some testimonials about CS GunWorks FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on AR15.com FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on Snipersparadise FEEDBACK about CSGUNWORKS on the HIDE |
| I am interested in checking out the Pit Bull when it comes out. The Elcan looks nice but for that kind of money I expect a life time warranty not one year. Hell even the weaver 1X-3X that sells for $150 has a life time warranty. Any ways I think a 1X-4X is the way to go. |
EOTECH all the way!! include 3X FTS magnifer!! Speed and accuracy is the key.
