Turkish-Polish friendship

In the hustle at the MSPO, we spotted an elegantly designed GROT bullpup, complete with an under-barrel grenade launcher. Marvelous, but what kind of optics is that, we wondered. It somehow reminds us of the ELCAN Specter. It's the AVCI 1x-4x HX from the Turkish company 3E.

On the left side, there are two buttons for the reticle illumination and in front of them, a lever for zooming. Like with the ELCAN, the magnification can be switched between 1x and 4x without any intermediate steps.

A honeycomb filter is also included.

The red dot on the top can be swapped for other models. The red dot does what it's supposed to do, as seen in the picture.

We couldn't manage to take a sharp image of the reticle at the MSPO amid the hustle and the questionable lighting conditions. But it looks very similar to the ELCAN and is in the second image plane.

Overall, it appears to be a usable optic. Time will tell if it holds up.
