SpecterDR is a new dual role 1X and 4X combat sight that combines close and precision fire ranged combat features into a single, low profile dual-field-of-view sight. The combination allows soldiers to move through buildings and confined areas in a red dot mode and then instantly be able to switch to 4X in order to engage targets at extended ranges—out to about 600 meters—without changing sight.
Situational awareness in both magnifications is improved with ultra-wide viewing angles and low-light viewing conditions. Even so, the combination sight weighs less than carrying two sights and offers more inherent capability.
The sight is designed for use with the M4, M16, M249 and M240 weapons.

1. It's a nice optic. Great fit and finish and it offers the 1x or 4x capability.
2. It's an expensive optic. $1,250 USD according to Elcan rep.
3. It's not available yet. - still in limited pre-production mode.
4. The 1x does not have unlimited eye relief like an Aimpoint or EOTech, so I don't think it will be as fast on target or forgiving in CQB environments.
5. It does have a BDC reticle that only works on the 4x setting.
6. The dot is big (4 MOA or bigger?) They wouldn't tell me how big it was - it's a secret.
7. It only has 5 brightness settings -one being the NV setting - but they did say they might add more settings before full production.
8. A simple throw lever flips internal lenses back and forth from 1x and 4x - a nice feature.
9. Two ARMS levers mount it - a USSOCOM requirement.
10. It still uses external adjustments for windage and elevation - for good or bad.
11. the additional iron sights are a nicely done - but totally useless in my opinion. (I believe they can put a Doctor Optic on it as well.)
12. Uses a special button cell battery to power the red dot. Don't know what one or the run time. They wouldn't tell me - it's too secret!
13. The BDC reticle is not illuminated like an ACOG but is still visible if the battery fails.
