I was looking at the Leupold 1.5-5x20 Mark 4 PR and I was wondering if I could assume it will hold up to the abuse of a FAL. Also what mounts would you folks recommend for it? I'm open to other suggestions on scope but I limited to $600 and I would like some kind of rangeing / holdover ability in the recticle. I was also looking at the IOR scopes, (IOR 4x24 CQB ). something in the 1-5 power range would be fine. This rifle is not a long range tack driver, but I'm starting to suspect it killed the Bushnell Elite 3200 I had on it. I can't seem to hold 5" from a bipod anymore and I'm certain it did better than that before. |
I'd imagine the Leupold Tactical line would be more than up to the challenge of a FAL. You FAL sounds like mine, a 5-8 MOA rifle. I know mine is not the scope. I use the Leupold 3.5-10PR on it. Off the bench...off a bipod....5-8MOA. At least it's consistent  . Try putting the Elite 3200 on another rifle to check on it's performance before buying another scope. It might just be the FAL. |
I'd buy that except when I first scoped it I was getting a pretty consistant 2.5" group at 100 yards. I charted it over about 50 shots of custom ammo. Today I can't get under 5" on 10 shot groups. It's an SA58 so the barrel is not surplus and is pretty well made. I'm going this weekend to trade optics. I might toss my EOTech on it, as I know I can do 1-2" at 50 yards with that. Last time out I was seeing 3" groups from the scope at 50 yards. I'm also going to try irons as well. The only other rifle I have that could mount the current scope has never been shot for groups so I have no idea how it should group anyway. |
