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
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
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.
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.
One thing about the Elcan is that, on 1x, it is not like an AIMPOINT because it does not have infinite eye relief. It is more like a S&B or Nightforce 1-4x.
The SCAR rocks and is easily my favorite assault rifle. I liked the original version just fine but there are some nice changes. It is very controllable as is the 7.62mm version, and it is easy to hit cars at 100 meters with the 40mm launcher.
Silvers- F*** you for having access to BOTH versions!!!
Now that I got that out of the way-
Explain to me what features that KAC BUIS has that I can’t seem to figure out myself. I see all sorts of improvements over my 300m, but I don’t know what they are!
Not M4Guru or coldblue but I have a little experience with this sight, or the first version of it anyway
The little lever on the “stem” (the part that flips up) moves 90 degrees to select the aperture size… No more little plastic insert to lose.
The lever on the base can be used to lock the stem in the “up” (deployed) position, and is also a release that allows it to flip-up under spring pressure, and stay up if bumped with gear, etc.
Are you asking how the KAC 600 meter differs from the KAC 300 meter?
It has a micrometer for elevation. No big deal. Honestly, they are BACK UP SIGHTS. I am perfectly happy with the KAC 300 meter. I would never make any effort to replace my KAC 300 meters with 600 meters unless I really wanted the rifle for more than 300 meters. Even so, it is a backup sight.
Thanks Robert. I meant both version of the SCAR to play with.
I was asking about the new KAC BUIS. I obviously wasn’t asking the difference between the 300 and 600. Even as superior as you are, you should understand that stupid me might know the difference and that I might be asking about the NEW one pictured here. But, take any opportunity you can to point out how stupid I might be…
I really dont think roberts intent was to be Condescending. Its sometime hard to get someones meaning over the net when not face to face. I honestly believe he was intending to be helpful.
