The latest evolution of a time-honored and battle-proven design, it is recognized as the simplest and most rugged combat optical sight availible, and as such, it remains the standard issue for numerous advanced NATO armies.
With superior optical performance and extremely long eye relief, the ELC556 delivers exceptional optical clarity and light gathering ability, allowing it to significantly improve hit probability in low light conditions at extended ranges.
Manufactured in Canada, the C79 3.4x is fully supportable with spares and technical data and is designed and tested to withstand the most severe enviromental conditions on earth.
Developed in close cooperation with the Canadian Armed Forces, the C79 3.4x (3.4x magnification) C79-A2, exhibits superior performance in daylight acquisition, identification and hit accuracy. The optical design provides optimum eye relief, rapid targeting and minimal edge-to-edge distortion. The SpecterOS™ 3.4x (NSN 1240-21-9068151) comprises fully shock protected optics and mount assembly, incorporating all ballistic corrections. C79 3.4x has proven its effectiveness on a variety of high-powered rifles and machine guns, permitting tracer round and fall of shot to be seen at extended ranges. The ELCAN Post reticule with horizontal stadia lines is tritium-illuminated and been demonstrated in qualification (and more importantly in battle) as the fastest and most accurate targeting solution.
