The Elcan DR is a military grade scope with a throw lever to go from 1x to 4x. Early versions had problems maintaining zero during the magnification transition. I believe the Elcan is in it's 4th generation.
The ACOG w/ BAC (let's say the newest TA31-RCO-M4CP) is a military grade scope with a 4x fixed magnification. All things being equal, a fixed scope is usually tougher than a variable one.
I used to have the OEG and it was pretty quick for CQB purposes. The OEG was not a "see-thru" optic. The only downside was you must have decent vision.
Has anyone thought of a flip-up objective lens cap for the ACOG to block off and "black out" the objective end of the scope, ala Trijicon/Armson OEG? I'm not sure I am describing this clearly. But, if the objective end of a 4x ACOG was closed off, via flip-up cover, wouldn't it act like a 1x OEG without the complication and fragility of a variable?
Has anyone tried this? Would this work or am I off my rocker?
