FN SCAR?

What exactly is the "PEQ-2 replacement"?

I saw one recently but I had no idea what I was looking at.

Not M4Guru, but...

The one in the photo above is the ATPIAL (Advanced Target Pointer/Illuminator/Aiming Laser), and has the following features:
-Uses a single DL123 (3V Lithium) battery
-Focusable IR pointer that is boresight adjustable
-Visible (red) and IR aiming laser on the same optical bench (i.e. both are zeroed at the same time; a handy feature that allows you to pre-set zero without NODs)
-The IR laser, Vis laser, and IR illuminator all have high and low settings, if I remember correctly
-Integrated Picatiny rail mount

Hope this helps,
Clint

Something I find interesting about the pics of the Elcan Specter. Why do you need a Dr/JPoint on a 1X optic?

FWIW - when I saw it Insight was still calling it the IPIM -- it had the same features Clint mentions -plus adjustable pulse settings for the lasers - so you know who's who in the zoo

My only line of thinking is if you have the unexpected need to use it close up while at 4X.

Roger. You can still take a close shot with it on 4X though.

It does seem like over-kill, but who am I to question the Pro's? I bet the price of a Elcan Specter w/Dr/JPoint is damn near as high as a S&B Short Dot.

Yeah, I was reaching for even that answer...
It does not make much sense to me.

Dinger, I'm guessing $1800 with the Docter. I don't know if that will be civilian pricing, that was just a rough quote I got.

Wow, Great optics are getting damn expensive.

Where I was going with my question, is that the folks in the Military that are reviewing this optic had the same problem that I did with the 1X setting.

An Elcan with a Dr would be VERY close to the price of a S&B.

That is about what I was thinking.
