Sight Unit Infantry Trilux, 4x. They run about $250 and are a decent optic, but they are heavy.

TA33 ACOG

Edited to add;

I was unable to get a good cheek weld with this Scope because of the height. So, I added a standard M1 cheek rest and it solved the problem.

Here is mine (again

) It's a TA33R9 with a Dr Optic Red Dot on a Larue mount. The ACOG is mounted on a DSA Extreme Scope Mount. I haven't had a chance to shoot her yet...75 days and counting...

Having scripture numbers on my well manufactured combat sight are not going to make an enemy who would murder innocent millions of my people hate me more; just like scraping them off wont make him hate me less. Fucking desk jockeys.

Not a great picture; I was taking this quickly to show a buddy something. But, I had it on hand so....

That is my DSA STG-58 with a DSA rail, SAW grip and top cover. Optic is a Meopta K-dot in Badger rings. I was going for something of a "DM" setup with this rifle. The forward rail actually tensions the barrel a bit resulting in less POI shift with the suppressor. I love the setup a lot.

I got a Tasco World Class 1.5-4.5x32 just to see if I would like a scope FAL. The scope was clear, clear enough to see .30cal holes at a 100yds. The scope sits in Warne high QD rings. Shoots 1.5-2.0MOA, I posted a range report earlier today.

There is some thing Charming about the Trilux SUIT. Not the best pick maybe, but far from being the worst. I like them, even though they are all kinds of werid.
