Well dude - ELCAN can claim all they want. USSOC toss them in the trash - because even their Rev6 2008 model still sucks ass.Flawed Design said:The sight DID have apparently this major problem with loosing the zero when shifting between 4 power and 1 power. A fellow in my platoon who used to work at elcan and build these sights said they completely redesigned the guts of it and fixed the loss of zero problem.

Backup, secondar, redundancy etc etc etc
Always plan for something to fail and have an alternate available

Other scopes that are known to be high end pieces of kit don't have that kind of redundancy. ACOGs, ...
ACOG w/ Doctor Optic
Looks like Trijicon sells a model of their ACOG with a Doctor Optic slapped on top. Does that mean the ACOG is prone to failure? I don't know, I've never used one, but I also haven't heard anyone calling them garbage either. I think there is demand in the market for this combination simply for what Bullet Magnet said, redundancy. So, if 2 is 1, and 1 is none, then 3 (ACOG + Dr. Optic + BUIS) must be 2, and there is your redundancy. Besides, chicks dig reflex sights on top of other sights.
Karl87 said:I've heard they use the doctor sight alongside the spectreDR because it loses zero between switching from 1x-4x, so they keep the spectre on 4x and use the reflex for short distance shooting.
