ELCAN is perhaps best known for making the prismatic C79 optical sight that is widely used on the Colt Canada C7 and C8, FN Minimi, FN MAG and CZ-805 BREN families of firearms. The C79 is not designed as a sniper sight per se, but is rather intended to be mounted on a variety of service rifles used by regular infantrymen as well as designated marksmen.

The M145 Machine Gun Optic is a variant of the C79, which is different to the standard version in that ballistic compensation is in the reticle rather than in the mount. Reticle illumination is by a battery-powered LED with eleven brightness settings. It is used by the US military for its M249s and M240s.

ELCAN currently manufactures the "Specter" line of combat optics in a variety of configurations. The Specter 4× Optical Sight, DR 1.5×/6×, DR 1x/4× and TR 1/3/9 are available with a BDC reticle for the 5.56×45mm NATO or the 7.62×51mm NATO.
