Up for sale is a practically brand-new 5.56mm 4X Browe Combat Optic (BCO) in FDE color featuring a green crosshair reticle and LaRue mount (not the cheaper ARMS mount). (Model # BCO-003G-L-FDE). For those of you unfamiliar with Browe, Inc, the owner of the company is the former Director of Operations of Trijicon, Inc.
This is retailing for $1,595. The reason I'm selling it is to fund a long range coyote scope. This optic is in perfect condition and carries a lifetime warranty (product registration still in the box). Some of the reasons I purchased this optic over a Trijicon ACOG was:
1. It takes a single CR123A battery rather than using tritium which burns out in 10 years.
2. It's made out of titanium rather and aluminium . Stronger than steel but still lightweight.
3. It uses "Target Light Sensor Technology" which unlike the ACOG it senses the light level at the TARGET and adjusts the brightness of the reticle accordingly rather than the ambient light surrounding the optic. This is HUGE. Example...I'm shooting from a dark area (inside a building or in the shade and the target is in bright full-sun....The reticle will be very bright. On the ACOG it will be dim because the surroundings are dark. The BCO reticle brightness can also be adjusted manually and is night vision capable.
4. The glass is super clear. Better than the ACOG in my opinion.
It includes instruction manual and comes in original hard Pelican case.
$900 shipped to the lower 48. Payment by PayPal as "gift" or USPS Money Order only.
About this scope (from the Browe website):
4x32 BROWE Combat Optic
The 4x32 BROWE Combat Optic (BCO) is a state-of-the-art optic that delivers highest quality optical glass, high precision machining, with a rugged military design.
The BCO is a purpose designed and built optic ideally suited for tactical scenarios and well suited for military, police and sportsmen. Its titanium housing is compact and light weight, yet nearly three times stronger than its aluminum counterparts, enhancing its ability to survive the rigors of field abuse under the most severe environmental conditions.
The BCO’s list of evolutionary technology is long and includes such features as:
Target Light Sensor Technology
The BCO has a cadmium-sulfide photocell located in the optical path providing great sensitivity and accuracy of the target light that is being transmitted through the optic, not ambient lighting. In tactical environments lighting levels are very liquid and constantly changing. When nanoseconds count there is no time to make manual illumination adjustments or search for a poorly illuminated reticle. The Target Light Sensor Technology simplifies the operation and allows the operator to focus on the job at hand.
Single Intuitive Control (SIC)
Gives the operator a simple button designed to control the illumination systems and simulate muscle memory. With a single press of the SIC button the BCO will enter Automatic Mode; this will utilize the Target Light Sensor Teechnology by measuring the light transmission and automatically set the reticle illumination to the proper brightness. The second press of the SIC button the BCO enters into Manual Mode. This gives the operator complete control of the reticle illuination with the choice of 10 day settings and 3 night vision settings.
BCO Utility Port
The BCO utility port is a sealed port on the backside of the battery housing. This port can be used to update the operating firmware or customize the existing program. It can also be used to plug in a remote pressure pad switch, so the SIC button controls can be placed at a secondary location on the weapon. This port can also be used to import or export power. This means that accessories such as lasers or mini red dots could be powered from the BCO battery. Alternatively, the BCO utility port is capable of importing power, to run on an external power source such as a central power system.
Vibration Motion Sensor
Designed to conserve battery life by placing the BCO in SLEEP mode if motion is not detected after two hours. The BCO has an average battery usage life of over 2000 hours with a minimum of 775 hours on max brightness. In sleep mode the battey current is less than 1uA, which will give the BCO a shelf life of over 10 years.
Optical Design
The BCO optical design is based on an internally adjustable roof prism optical system with an etched glass reticle. This design was incorporated to maintain a short overall length, a platform that has proven itself successful with currently deployed products. All lenses are precision ground of the finest quality optical glass available and are broad band anti-reflective coated possessing excellent light gathering capabilities even under low light conditions. The glass etched reticle incorporates an LED coupled with microprocessor technology and a cadmium-sufide photocell to measure target light levels, automatically adjusting the reticle to match target lighting conditions.
