There is another version that is 1x to 4x. The expensive one.

anyone know if this thing has some sort of Rubber coat?

The real one doesn't... why would the replica?

Because of the magnifying optics and the switching prism, you're still looking through tubed lenses (more than two), so there is a limited eye relief. The upside is that it's exactly the same distance between 1x and 4x mode, so you do not have to adjust shooting position. If you move your eye beyond the eye relief position, you'd get the halo shadow in your view - just like with a 4x scope optic.

Actually, you just push one lever to switch modes.

See the lever below the "4x 1x" markings? It's currently pushed to the "1x" side:

It's in stock... Anyone, anyone? lol

Looks like this is replacing the susat on the l85

I'm waiting on the first reviews before grabbing one, but it's on the list

Urgh i'm so tempted in buying one but i'm scared its a POS...

I'm gonna wait for a better clone (that also does 1x). Otherwise it's just another ACOG.

So it still has the eye-relief of a mag optic in 1x mode...much like the 1x-4x(analogue, not discrete) type shortdot then....

wheres the version that handles 1x and 4x how much more is it?

That's nice that that they've put out a DE version, but the finish looks pretty shitty... At least, trades look very good and complete.

A search here on ASC would have brought you 2-3 threads about it. 570$+shipping.

I'm very tempted, but I know that at least 2 plants in China were working on it, including one that is supposedly doing two versions (a "budget", probably fixed magnification version and a second, "high grade" version which will probably have both).
This is probably one of the two plants mentionned, so there's at least another one that was coming soon... (got this info on some chinese forum.... so don't take that as 100% accurate, but it is plausible).

And there's also the taiwanese Monda International, but I can't seem to be able to reach them anymore.

There isn't one yet. I'm sure they're working on one so in time...

Just for people who don't know a Spectre DR will cost ya $2k, the clone was advert about $450.

For number crunching firearm sights are as followed for comparision:
EOTech $500+
Aimpoint $400+
Trijicon ACOG 4X $1300+
Elcan SpectreOS3.4 (aka C79) $1100

•Only 4X fixed !!! can not change from 1x to 4x

defeats the purpose. boo urns
