optic for my fal

[LORD of WAR]

thinking of getting a red dot for my sa58 fal

what would you guys suggest?

the 1 x 24 rx 01-23 or the 1 x 42 rx 30-23?

I have a Trijicon TA33R on mine very happy with it. Reticle has a drop compensator for .308. Have only shot it out to 200yds and it works fine.

What targets are you shooting at 200 that need drop compensation?

Thats the longest range I have access to. A little hold over or the inside of the V is where the zero is for 200 with 147gr 7.62. I would like to get out and shoot longer distances but eastern MA the pickings are slim.

Its going to depend on how far and what you are shooting. 6.5 moa is a good size dot when you get out to 100+
but its great inside 25 yards. Objective size is going to be personal preference

Timber, Sorry I misunderstood what you were asking. If I am working on a handload or a new rifle or scope I generally shoot at a multi bulleye target with a 1 inch grid superimposed on it. I like knowing exactly how far I am off from my bull. If I am hacking around I shoot at an IDPA target or a reduced silouette (B24?) which is pretty much chest width. And to note with handloads I save my targets and note on them the reload info as well as the conditions for the day. And if I bring my chrono, a new option for me, I note velocity as well. So far the only rifles I go to that extent with are my .308, my .338 Lapua and my .300 WSM mountain rifle.

I'm a chubby/fat guy but my facebook pic is with an Elk I shot at 9000 feet in SW Montana. One shot at 352yds and steaks on the grill.

NICE greg

i like that but i was trying to stay under $400...i can get the aforementioned trijicon with the arms throw lever mounts for less than $400

the larue alone will run me over $100

 

[FalArAk]

I think the ARMS mounts are lower than the LaRue,so it will probably work out good for you..I can still get a decent cheekweld with the LT though.

 

[LORD of WAR]

well the models i was referring to come with the mounts installed on them...the whole package would cost me about $380ish

i love larue and have a bunch of their stuff but unfortunately they dont offer dealer discounts
