The authentic Raytheon ELCAN SpecterDR is deployed to US Special Operations and Navy Seals
The ELCAN SpecterDR Dual Role Optical Sight represents a revolution in optical sight design. The world's first truly dual field of view combat optical sight, the SpecterDR switches instantly from a 4x magnified sight to a 1x CQB sight with the throw of a lever.
Unlike zoom sights, the SpecterDR offers an optimized optical path and identical eye relief in both 4x and 1x modes.
Elcan has reported counterfeit Elcan SpecterDR combat sights being sold on the internet. The counterfeit combat sights, while displaying counterfeit SpecterDR trademarked branding, are easy to identify when compared to the authentic combat sights.
All genuine Specter Sights by ELCAN are sold with; Unique serial numbers engraved on the body of the sight; Raytheon ELCAN branded (or authorized reseller) packaging; Raytheon ELCAN branded (or authorized reseller) User's Manual.
If the patented magnification switch lever is missing from a dual role sight -- it is counterfeit.
