I would like to put a Acog on a FN-FAL.

If I go with a TA11C  would get BAC, 3.5X35 with 28.9 ft field of view at 100 yards.

If I go with a TA01B  would not get BAC, but 4x32 with 36.8 field of view at 100 yards.

My question is.. Am I better of with a larger field of view without BAC, OR
with the BAC and less of a field of view?

Does anyone know if Trijicon is coming up with a 4x32 BAC .308 model?

IMHO you're always better of with BAC.

You might want to check out the eye relief on that TA01 before you get to likin' it too much.

I'm quite happy with the field of view on my TA11E and the BAC makes it a great "all-purpose" optic for my AR10.

I have a TA11C on my DSA Carbine. You are going to need all of the eye relief it provides.

Check with DSA on the mount. They have one of their heavy duty scope mounts specially

machined to accept the TA11 series ACOGs. It is rock solid. I have one on mine.

Good info. This will be going on a DSA Carbine with extreme duty scope mount

Agreed. Have one on my AR10 carbine.  Carbines and compacts are made for each other :)

TA01 and TA31's eye relief are too short for a FAL.  I have used several different ACOG's mounted on FAL's.  And the only way to go is the TA11, also works great on the AR10.

The best way (and lowest avalible way to mount a TA11) on a FAL is Ed's www.grsc.com mount.  Ed at GRSC is a big fan of the FAL and the TA11 for good reason.  The ACOG mounts directly into a cut out in the GRSC dust cover mount, and the eye relief is perfect for the TA11.  Just my .02.

I put a TA31 and a Compact on a 16" barrel FAL  just to check them out.

If my position was just right I would not get smacked. Sometimes, even when I thought my position was right I would get smacked. I had enough surprise smacks in the eye I was not happy with them as FAL scopes. By the end of testing I had enough marks on my shooting glasses I had to toss them. I also had red marks on my face where the glasses were forced into my face.

The TA11 is the ONLY ACOG I would put on a .308.  The TA11 has more than enough eye relief:
