tome Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Supposedly a working clone. Not sure i would spend that much on a clone optic regardless of the price of the original. http://www.waridiot.org/index_eproduct_vie...?products_id=59 Link to post Share on other sites
Forze Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 i believe it was mentioned in a post a couple of months ago. Nice optic imho, but large & unwieldy like the acog for airsoft (my opinion ey ) Link to post Share on other sites
apmaman Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 $400 for a cloned optic? Are you sure this isn't just the real one with a cracking good sale price Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Ouch, thats a fair bit for something of questionable potential quality! If they popped up for 1/4 or even 1/2 of that price i'd consider it, but at $400 not a chance if theres a risk it'll be rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites
Hispeed1 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 The airsoft gods have answered my prayers! (if that replica is real) Price is high for a replica-I hope EBB or someone in CN makes a more affordable version. Link to post Share on other sites
Jin15 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Clone Elcan Spectre? Bitchin! ... $400? Are you *fruitcage*ing kidding me!? For that price I could buy a real EOTech and a clone magnifier and accomplish the same thing with a likely much higher quality optic for the same price. Link to post Share on other sites
MCXL Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 When you consider that the real optic is over 2 grand it is pretty reasonable, it looks like a solid replica. Link to post Share on other sites
RUSHER2 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Um why are you guys whining? the real one goes for 2 grand..the replica which looks of good quality is 400..its a good price for an amazing optic. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 Chinese optics are hit and miss at best, infact i tend to find the cheaper ones (Aimpoint ML2 reps) are the best, if it is good then $400 wouldn't be so bad, but i'm not risking that amount of money on the chance it could end up to be another rubbish optic.

RacingManiac Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 especially if you can get a perfectly fine RS optic like EoTech, used Aimpoint, or C-More for that kind of money..... Link to post Share on other sites
AceOfSkulls Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 $400 is alot more than most airsoft guns , yeah its still down from 2 grand, but $400 is more than i make in a week first bb hit or scratch on the lense and your *fruitcage*ed. maybe if i was rich i would get one , but im not ill wait for a cheaper knockoff of a knockoff, $100 max it is a beautiful scope though Link to post Share on other sites

masakarijoe Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 that price is disgusting. if anyone buys it at that, you are a fool. wait for a reasonable priced version, kiddies. -Joe Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted July 2, 2009 Report Share Posted July 2, 2009 When you consider that the real optic is over 2 grand it is pretty reasonable, it looks like a solid replica. The RS's MSRP might be around 2 grand, but they can be bought new for under $1,500. $400 for a replica optic ... I've had enough experience with replica optics over the years to know that they're often not worth the money. Rather than buying the same replica several times over because they keep breaking (or just malfunctioning), I'd rather spend the same accumulated amount once on the real deal and be done with it. That said ... I don't know if I'd be willing to spend $1500 or more on an optic I can't use with my NVGs. I'll stick with my real Eotechs (that cost less than this replica), and my real Aimpoints. $400 is insane. Link to post Share on other sites

tome Posted July 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 I would love a Spectre DR as they're supposed to have a better field of view in 4x mode than the aimpoint/eotch magnifiers. But to put it into perspective.... if i spent 400 usd on an a real deal sight such as an Eotech, I wouldn't have the magnification feature but i would have something worth a lot more. A guarantee! haha! Link to post Share on other sites
jond36 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 No way. Even if it was $50 I wont buy. Like it was posted early you can get better deals easily. BTW that scope is fugly and just sucks. Link to post Share on other sites
Rob15 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 So if you don't like the scope then why post at all? What you've just posted would be the same as if i posted "I wouldn't buy it even if its 50p, BTW that gun sucks and is fugly" in every Armalite thread. Pointless and it'd make me look like an idiot like you have just done to yourself Link to post Share on other sites
Spartan452 Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 No way. Even if it was $50 I wont buy. Like it was posted early you can get better deals easily. BTW that scope is fugly and just sucks. If it was reasonably priced i'd buy, elcans are *fruitcage* pwnage^10th. But for 400 i'd rather buy something real. And yeah, if you don't have anything constructive to say, why post and make yourself look like a 10yr old. Link to post Share on other sites
bart_dude Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 i kinda of agree the dr doesnt look very good, and it is way over priced for a replica, but i reckon its only that expensive cause its not made in china (assuming, since it doesnt speicify) so it might be a *gasp* good quality optic :S and this is a really awesome optic, its quite unique to switch from red dot to 4 x with a illunimated cross hair it is like an acog and aimpoint combined will wait for reviews and hopefully a cheaper version 200 would be my maximum budget for that though Link to post Share on other sites
DesertFoxRomel Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 So what else can I blow $400 on? ~$200 real steel Bushnell Holosight, ~$40 clone 3x magnifier ~$400 real steel Aimpoint, $40 clone 3x magnifier ~$200 real steel C-More sight ~$450 real steel Trijicon Reflex All proven, well known manufactures and products, with warranty *except the clone magnifiers*, so why should I blow that much money for something without a name brand, proven product, or warranty?

Danke Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 Let's not forget that if you're outside of the US the chances of getting real optics at silly low prices is a pipe dream. Link to post Share on other sites
WhiteHawksan Posted July 3, 2009 Report Share Posted July 3, 2009 you buy this for the same reason you buy a Systema PTW becuase you can blow that much money on it. If it is a solid sight and works properly it'd be worth it, put simply all this talk of buy this + this opr this isntead doesn't mean jack. Itsl ike why spend $2000 on an armalite? for a fraction of the moeny you can buy a basically identical one. Personally I think it looks rather bulky and the claim of the function of two weight of one is a bit dubious. Hwoever if someone clones the clone it may be good for a UMP or something.
