Wow...almost feel like there must be a catch, but Midway is pretty standup. Maybe they're coming out with a new model and trying to clear out the old? I have a Spectre DR 1x4, they're nice.

Yeah it seemed too good to be true but I ordered one anyway. It's a fixed 3x but I have an AR that will work perfectly with it. It isn't good for my new build but I will swap out the Aimpoint PRO with the new build.

I have this optic on one of my guns. Excellent optic. This is an absurdly low price.

The 4x is a different beast. The adjustments for the 3x are internal and are not done on the mount.
I imagine the sale will last until they are sold out.

Anyone have a comparison of this against a Trijicon? I've heard mixed reviews about Elcan but never heard anything bad about an ACOG.

I put this in my cart last night but didn't go through with it...had the same thought, might as well go acog.

I'm finding a lot of comparison reviews of the ELCAN 4x against Trijicon. Most of them speak highly of the ELCAN stating it "regularly runs head to head with Trijicon", but reviews are lacking for this 3x. A friend who received his already says he loves the clarity for his old eyes. Mine should arrive tomorrow.

They have blems for $608. Would look good sitting on top of my AUG. Anyone know if the "blem" models are returnable?

Went ahead and ordered. $608+ free shipping seemed pretty damn good. If there's an issue with it or I hate it for some reason, I'll just return it. Thinking it's going to work extremely well on the AUG.
