I asked Koshkin which would be better on 1x between the Razor G3 and the NX8 and he said that the Razor is just simply better. Your debate should be between the NX8 and the Razor G3 because at 1x both of these optics become almost like a true red dot. That being said, the Elcan is no doubt an awesome optical instrument, if the weight and cost don’t hinder you. If the offset idea is worth pursuing for you, something like an SWFA ultralight 2.5-10x32 (9.5 oz) would pair well with the mini dot (3 oz) and total weight should be under 14 oz before mounts. Only downside I’ve found with the offset is being cognizant to not bang it around as much or catch it on something, it’s not quite as slick. The 1x would be there for most things and if snap shots or off balance/weird positioning, the offset dot is there a bit faster if needed. Of course, target ID or other factors might warrant more mag. I’ve even ran a fixed 10x with in conjunction with an offset dot and liked it decently well.įor sbr use under 250m at man-sized targets, 4x should be sufficient with good eyesight. It doesn’t take too much practice to get that canted presentation and have the dot come right into view. Uncommon shooting positions, target transitions, and FOV/Ease of use are going to be important.Īnyone have any input or wisdom to drop on me for an SBR optic?įor shorty rifles I pretty much have gone the way of being as light weight as possible it’s so easy to let an sbr get too chubby and loose it’s quick handling qualities.Ī light weight 1-4x (or 1-6x) or the like with a 45 degree offset mini dot is a pretty versatile combo. The gun will live 250m -ish and in for 90% of its life, so 1x performance is awfully important, but for my context when I need magnification, I REALLY need magnification (thus no red dot). As best as I can see it, my choices boil down to the Elcan 1-4, Razor Gen II E 1-6, or the NX8. That being said, as a potential duty gun, I really want to have some form of magnification for the times that it is absolutely needed.Īnyone have any experience running an Elcan on a 10.3in SBR, or a Razor 1-6? This is my first dive into the SBR world, so Ive got no hands-on experience for how a heavier optic will balance on a shorter rifle (used to 14.5in guns). Ive used EOTechs and Aimpoints before, but am just not a huge fan of running a magnifier with the dots. My main couple of concerns for this optic/setup are weight balance on 10.3in gun and 1x performance.
That being said, I sort of stumbled across the Elcan SpecterDR 1-4, and figured it could be a decent contender. I originally asked about swapping my Razor 1-6 (Non-E version) for an NX8 as I was trying to cut weight, but it seems as if the NX8 may not be the best choice. I know we had a thread not too long ago about the best SHTF/Duty optic.
