I have been reading a good deal about some of the latest optics for weapons. Quite often I see restricted for sale to military, government or law enforcement. Is this restriction a company restriction or is there some legal restriction of many of these items, such as night vision, thermal imaging or certain red dot optics?? The same for other items like body armor and tasers.
If there are such laws, where are they coming from? Who and how can they regulate what non-weapon devices a company can sell to private US citizens?
Usually restrictions are placed on Optics due to a government contract. Meaning they get all sights or devices made until the contract is satisfied. At that point, you'll start seeing them turn up on the market.
Lots of good commercial available Tacti-cool optics out there though already. Everything from Red Dots to Thermals.
Personally, I like the Elcan SpecterDR Optical Sights, with the .308 BDC, though it is pricey.
Trijicon makes a good tactical sight with BDC as well and are also expensive. And IMO, while a ok site they just are not worth the price.
What get what ya pay for.
