So I was up in the air about buying yet another Trijicon Acog with Bobro mount. They are great optics but was looking for something different. I have Elcan Specter Drs so I was looking at a fixed optic. So I picked up a magazine and Sig Sauer had a line of optics that looked cool but how are they really. So I flipped a coin and made a jump and picked up a Bravo 4 awhile back.
There were very few online reviews and only a couple videos on Youtube on a Tavor. So needless to say, not much.
So it took about 4 days to ship directly from Sig and when I got it it was in no fancy hardcore case like my Trijicons or a plain old white cardboard box like my Elcans. It was a nice box that you would see with an expensive phone or watch.
My first initial impressions having it out of the box were good. Same construction as the Elcan and Trijicon Acogs. Glass is clear just like my Elcan and weight is a little less than the Elcan. So thats good. I still don't think the Elcan on any rifle is heavy but some smaller men/women think it is. Thats ok.
After having it awhile it seems pretty solid, took some use and I like the illumination of 50,000 hours like an Aimpoint or you can not use a battery and still have a solid optic. Holds zero and pretty much did everything my Acogs have done. It is a little thicker than the Acog but still smaller than an Elcan DR.
Price was my issue. On an optic not proven its hard to swallow.. Most folks, myself included would have just bought another Acog and be done with it. Now after a little time I can say with certainty this will be more suited for Police and Law Enforcement VS the US Military. Some folks don't like the looks and its growing on me. Right now in June almost July the Sig Bravo 4 appears "next generation" with its options, settings, waterproof and lifetime limited warranty that is transferrable if you sell or trade the optic. The Sig Bravo 4 can be had for $900-$1300. Same ballpark as your normal Acog but about $1000 less than a dual Elcan. Again, this is a fixed 4X optic.
Some folks and friends asked me if this is better than a Trijicon Acog. Right now I would say it's even with the Acog and in time and if it starts to prove itself it can surpass the Acog. Is it better than an Elcan Specter DR? I can say the quality and attention to detail is better but overall the Elcan is better for what it is and offers, a dual role optic.
Also it appears that Sig will be releasing the kill flash and front and rear flip up lens covers in amber and clear in the near future.
Anyway enough of my rambling here are some pictures and folks feel free to ask me questions..I will try to answer them as best as I can.
