kronic Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 (edited) Nice review Any chance of some pics with the scope mounted on some guns? Also how big is it? Edited September 30, 2004 by kronic Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Redhawk Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Forget the scope, I want Carter! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 The main body of the scope is 55mm in diameter, and roughly 155mm in length. The metal mount that the body is fitted to is 30x30x130 in size, sat offset to the base by 45mm this gives an overall length, height and width of ~175x85x55mm. I'll take some shots of the Eclan fitted to an M4 when I get mine back. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xmas Posted September 30, 2004 Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Isn't Elcan Optical Tech. the company that makes Elcan sights??? http://www.elcan.com/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted September 30, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2004 Ta for that link, will update review in a second Edit: Thanks, stupidly didn't think of trying the straight .com address. When I was searching for the Elcan's manufacturer page Google kept giving me links back to here. ..ah now it dawns on me it's spelt "Elcan" not "Eclan"..blame it on long nights, lots of work and too much time typing in my spare time.

Antagon Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 I always thought it was Eclan, haha. Good review, although for such a high price i'd rather get the real thing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 The real Elcan 3.4x costs in the region of 700USD mate http://auroradnv.com/shopping/products.asp?CategoryId=15 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Thats why I would buy used And it would be dual purpose for me, I wouldn't have to use it on just my airsoft guns. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Ah well that makes more sense As a copy of an major manufacturers scope then Samurai Elcan is very nice. Best I've had just from HK to date. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Antagon Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 No doubt, that replica looks superb. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
MAKKOO Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 (edited) Something that I will like to know is if Samurai has any kind of liscence to reproduce Elcan's sight??? ... Edited October 1, 2004 by MAKKOO Quote Link to post Share on other sites
xmas Posted October 1, 2004 Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Thats why I would buy used And it would be dual purpose for me, I wouldn't have to use it on just my airsoft guns. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Make sure you get the right one for your real steel. Elcan sight has different versions according to the caliber you shoot. Just like my Trilux sight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arnie Posted October 1, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2004 Makko: I seriously doubt that Samurai have permission from Elcan to make copies of their scopes. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lt.leet Posted November 2, 2004 Report Share Posted November 2, 2004 i want to know , where can i buy it in canada or us retailers . thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ColDaz Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 Damn, I feel another costly SG-1 project coming along... Are Airsoft Supplies the only place whos stock this? I had a look on Red Wolf and a coupla others, and saw the Trigger Happy semi replica, but I would prefer this one, so if anyone has saw it anywhere? I don't think they have it in stock ot AS. Cheers, Daz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
HaVoC Posted January 17, 2005 Report Share Posted January 17, 2005 (edited) Great review Arn, really detailed and informative. It's a lovely scope too, although I can't afford one... BRAINWAVE: Surely this would be a good choice for people doing L85 AEG conversions? Mount a good strong RIS rail on the top, and mount one of these on it, and it'd look fairly similar to the proper SUSAT... Edited January 17, 2005 by HaVoC_MaN Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cypher Posted January 24, 2005 Report Share Posted January 24, 2005 Yer Havok im thining that way my self, I think we will be seeing alot of Custom SA80's over the next year given the Acadamys re-realise and guides that have started to spring up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ioncore Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 good review, the only things that weren't added are that the real steel had elevation numbers on the dial (u can see in the pic included). Changing the windage is done on the same dial, where the square silver notch is. you push that up and then turn the dial to get the scope zeroed on. im with the canadian forces and getting it zeroed in is a real pain and something that you wont do on the field.

Marcel Posted May 1, 2005 Report Share Posted May 1, 2005 (edited) Is it really only 2.5x? WGC (klick here) and other pages always write 3.4x. Is it possible to adjust the optic for someone who is short-sighted or farsightedly (normaly at the end of the scope +0-). Edited May 1, 2005 by Marcel Quote Link to post Share on other sites
