🤷🏿‍♀️

2019-12-19 22:22:17 UTC  

So I was fucking with an ELCAN the other day and I actually really liked it.

2019-12-19 22:22:41 UTC  

Haters are dumb.

2019-12-19 22:22:52 UTC  

it's not that good tbh

2019-12-19 22:22:58 UTC  

I've had 2, they look really nice and the function is solid

2019-12-19 22:23:06 UTC  

What issues did you have?

2019-12-19 22:23:27 UTC  

it's not issues so much as LPVOs do most of the job better

2019-12-19 22:23:39 UTC  

lighter, better eyebox, better mounts, cheaper

2019-12-19 22:23:51 UTC  

Dat bulk

2019-12-19 22:24:11 UTC  

the bulk is irrelevant tbh

2019-12-19 22:24:42 UTC  

if you have a laser, that extra space from the length is already virtually taken up

2019-12-19 22:25:09 UTC  

True, but wouldn't a long optic exacerbate the problem?

2019-12-19 22:26:33 UTC  

yes, but realistically no

2019-12-19 22:26:40 UTC  

The Haley strategic showroom in Scottsdale has a lot of fully equipped rifles to fingerfuck, the ELCAN might not be GOAT but I think it's a solid alternative to an ACOG

2019-12-19 22:26:56 UTC  

But I also really liked the HAMR when I had one so

2019-12-19 22:27:23 UTC  

And it never seemed to get much market share, probably because it's ugly.

2019-12-19 22:28:06 UTC  

But the glass quality was objectively superior to Trijicon

2019-12-19 22:28:24 UTC  

eye relief gang

2019-12-19 22:28:49 UTC  

People bring that up a lot, but I've never had eye relief issues with my TA31s

2019-12-19 22:28:59 UTC  

Which are apparently some of the worst offenders

2019-12-19 22:29:04 UTC  

it's not an issue so much as it's not good

2019-12-19 22:29:46 UTC  

especially with more "mobile" shooting

2019-12-19 22:30:15 UTC  

That makes sense, but is anyone actually placing precise fire through their magnified optic while on the move?

2019-12-19 22:30:34 UTC  

Seems.... Like larperator shit.

2019-12-19 22:30:44 UTC  

nah, but shooting around cover and getting sights on target faster after moving is pretty important

2019-12-19 22:31:51 UTC  

Isn't canted / piggyback micro dot superior in that case anyway?

2019-12-19 22:32:15 UTC  

🤷🏿‍♀️

2019-12-19 22:32:35 UTC  

yeah you could say that

2019-12-19 22:32:59 UTC  

but if all you have is a magnified optic and one has better eye relief 🤷🏿‍♀️

2019-12-19 22:33:05 UTC  

Do you keep both eyes open usually? Did you with your ELCAN?

2019-12-19 22:33:10 UTC  

Sure

2019-12-19 22:33:16 UTC  

yeah

2019-12-19 22:34:05 UTC  

I need to do more 2/3 gun....

2019-12-19 22:34:57 UTC  

I'm assuming you're out in Arizona, just find a dry riverbed on public land and do drills

2019-12-19 22:36:04 UTC  

Yeah I've been in PHX for a couple years now. I haven't found the good BLM places around where I live since I moved.

2019-12-19 22:36:09 UTC  

kek

2019-12-19 22:36:13 UTC  

imagine living in Phoenix

2019-12-19 22:36:18 UTC  

what an absolute shithole

2019-12-19 22:36:43 UTC  

Imagine making a fat 6 figure salary in one of the fastest growing tech job markets in the country

2019-12-19 22:36:49 UTC  

Not worth it

2019-12-19 22:36:52 UTC  

And achieving financial independence before 40
