I am reviewing the subject scope, testing it, putting it through its paces. I toyed with it some, before mounting it to the rifle (BAR 30-06 w/BOSS).
My first impression was not very positive, but in the mounting and zeroing processing, I've come to appreciate it more. It has some very nice features, zeroes easily once understood, no mirage effects that I've been able to introduce to date (good and bad. I use mirage for wind determinations). It does not like very bright sunlight without the rubber eyepiece and does not like lowlight conditions (there is a day/night version that I would like to try sometime. Actually considering purchasing one of the next generation models). I have not had a chance to test any real performance, yet.
Just got it mounted, and boresighted a few days ago, reboresighted and zeroed today. There IS DEFINITELY a learning curve for proper operations. As I've manipulated and operated the scope/camera, I've become more comfortable with it.
I spend a lot of time with CCD systems and many things about the Digital Hunter are not intuitive. However, the learning curve is not onerous or excessive and is worth the end results. Once I got the scope finally mounted and boresighted, it took three shots to zero dead center at 30m. I use my short range right now because my 200 yard backyard range is grown over with saplings and briars.
Just have not had the time to mow everything down. I like the 'battlesight zero' concept. Right now, without using the Digital Hunter's electronic BDC computer, I am 'dead on' with a point blank zero on an 8 inch target out to 305 yards. Effecitve Employment of the BDC is one of my test objectives.
My first impressions were pretty cold, but I'm warming up to it. Once I get it into the field and do some real shooting with it, we'll see how it really performs when compared to SS10xHD, Ellis Optics 4-16, and Hensoldt ZF6-24. I am now expecting some good things from this sighting device. It will be interesting to see if the good outweighs the bad and if the elements that ARE good are good enough. This is an interesting and exciting review for me. I'm glad to get the opportunity to put the Digital Hunter through its paces. It will be fun.
The ELCAN Digital Hunter Riflescope/Camera It’s DIGITAL (actually a CCD camera), THEREFORE it runs on electricity. It is not an optical system in the traditional sense it’s a camera. Some old diehards may not like that. GET OVER IT it’s the wave of the future, it’s where “riflescopes” are headed. If you can’t get over it, get used to it. Initial impressions are that 1) it’s heavy and some people will not try it out for that reason EVEN if they could overcome their fears of the advance of technology, 2) the layout suggests there was not enough input from actual shooters adjustments, etc are not indicative of good “human factors engineering” for field use it is reminiscent of a laboratory instrument where time and ease of access are not the most important considerations.
Google apps free download for mac. I'm a bit disappointed with the way the magnification works. I did not have another scope with me, but will next time.
16.5x doesn't 'SEEM' like 16.5x, to me. But maybe I'm just off. At 300 yards I had two rounds on top of each other, one 'flyer' at about 1.5 inches left from the other two, same horizontal line. I suppose I pulled it and believe it was the first shot. First round I've fired in a while and trying to beat the thunderstorm. It would have terminated a live target, but was not my best shooting.
The other two, I said 'OOOHHH YEA, I'm bad'. However, I'm also lucky. I hope to get more time with it.
It is not BAD, and if you like the tech advantages. Being able to install your own reticle, being able to set up BDC for whatever load you want to shoot with a simple download, it is very good.
At this point, it is not a high value to me. I like it, but it is more an experimental object than a useful tool. Some may have different opinions and if they like it better or hate it more, I have no problem with that. I'm not trying to convince anyone to purchase one, just giving some information on what to expect.
Big potential not yet realized. It IS the way of the future and there are a lot of scenarios in science fiction that are not far off with this type of scope.
