The ELCANŽ Optical Sight is a rugged, lightweight instrument which comprises an optical telescope and mount assembly. Developed in close cooperation with the Canadian Armed Forces, the ELCANŽ 3.4 power Optical Sight exhibits superior performance for daylight target acquisition, identification and hit accuracy. Thick Rubber armor protects the brilliant light gathering optics. This performance has been extended by the use of an extra large exit pupil of 8.5mm diameter, which provides optimum performance during low-light dawn and dusk conditions. Even on the darkest nights, flares or the moon will provide the the low level tritium range finding reticle sufficient illumination to maintain the effectiveness of the ELCANŽ.
The ELCANŽ Optical Sight is in service with the Canadian Forces, US Army, Dutch, Danish and Australian Armies. Its performance and durability have been fully proven through extensive field trials and environmental tests to full military specifications.

ELCANŽ Optical Sight Features
- Performance field proven by the Canadian Forces
- Fully shock protected optics
- Excellent optical performance
- Tritium illuminated reticle or LED battery powered
- An integral mount incorporating all ballistic corrections for either .223 62gr or . 308 147gr Nato spec ammunition.
- The ELCAN is ruggedly designed for for military use in all adverse weather conditions.
- The ELCANŽ Optical Sight has proven its effectiveness on machine guns as well as rifles, permitting tracer rounds and fall of shot to be clearly seen at extended ranges. As an integrated component of the next generation of advanced combat rifles the sight exemplifies the commitment to ongoing product development and optical excellence at ELCAN Optical Technologies.
- The ELCAN Optical Sight has been developed by ELCAN Optical Technologies to be the primary sighting systems for a variety of small arms. The optical sight significantly improves hit probability, particularly at longer ranges and in poor visibility. It also shortens target engagement times. Verified in trials by both US and Canadian armies.
