I've seen the Elken sights a few times and wasn't overly impressed with them. Images aren't very sharp compared to most other airsoft magnified optics.

Of the Elcan replicas I've seen to date, The Classic Army replica of the M145 seems to have the best optics of all. And I love it's illuminated red / green crosshairs. The down side for those going for an authentic CF look is that it's a repro of the optic M145 used by the US Marines, and not the C79 used by the CF. It has the illumination adjustment knob on the side, the mount is different, and it doesn't have the rubber backup sights on top.

When it comes to the C79 replicas, the nicest ones I've seen so far are the ones Huang sells. Their optics are great with the same 7cm eye releif of the real steel. And of course, it has the real Elcan trades. IMO, if you're going for a 100% authentic CF look, this is the sight to get.
