Bump. Shot more today. Using all white targets it’s fine but that seems to be it. Aren’t they using this in Afghanistan? Not sure I’d want this over there.

The 1-3-9x Elcan was developed for the civilian market and never held a military contract. The 1-4x and 1.5-6x Elcan SpecterDrs have big army and SOCOM contracts. Sorry to hear about your issue. Email Elcan and see what they have to say. They may recommend sending back to them or their North American distributor Armament Technology for a check up. Sorry to hear about your issue as im a big fan of the 1-4 and 1.5-6x models.

Also, from what i understand the eye relief(distance from your eye to the scope if you didnt know) is different for each magnification level on that scope. Maybe refer to the manaul for the exact distances for each but perhaps your stock setting is to far away and you arent getting a good sight picture and eyebox due to improper eye relief at each magnification level.

After reading it also appears that the illumination may only be seen in 1x possibly?

I spoke with Elcan. Everything is functioning normally... which is even more disappointing

It took some playing around but my eye relied is good.

Yes the illumination is only for night.

Yes the reticle becomes translucent blue at 3 and 9x during the day.

I’ve messed around aiming at lots of different colors. White seems to be the only one it is good on. Even then idk if it’s my eyes or what but it goes out of focus. Like my we focus can’t remain on it and tries to focus on the target. Like if you were focusing back and forth from front sight post to target and they went blurry back and forth.


Pretty disappointing. I’ve wanted this optic for a long time. She said they MIGHT let me doing an exchange. But I really liked the TR with 9x
