I would like to put some sort of optic on my Imbel FAL. My first choice would be the Trilux S.U.I.T second would be the ELCAN. anything else I should consider? The Trilux, I know I was caught sleeping and didn't get one when they were plentiful. I also understand the need for a new receiver cover/mount for the FAL (converting an inch to metric is easy I understand) I do see a few 5.56 trilux sights. can the basic unit be adapted to the FAL pretty easy or should I shop around till I find a 7.62 one? Same for the ELCAN. guess I only need a picatinny cover to mount it on the FAL? what do you recommend? any links for the Trilux (faq) would be appreciated ( I tried google, but only found comments on the trilux, nothing really indepth.) |
Check out the IOR Valdada M1 scope with Dragunov reticle and the .308 cam. Cactus Tactical has them for a good price. You can use Millet adjustable low rings with a DSA mount. I have two set up like this and have had no problems. One of them I dropped right on the elevation turret (by accident) and it didn't faze it! Great optics at a great price. Some people have said that there is a problem getting service. I have not had any problems so far, and can't say anything about that. The IOR's are a reasonably priced quality scope.

I really like my trilux scope even though sighting it in isn't real fun. The mounting solution isn't good. I've got a thread about how my dustcover practically sheered in half one day. I've seen adapters that will allow the trilux to be mounted to a rail dustcover. If you don't care about 100% military authenticity, I'd go that route. I can't speak for the ECLAN or the Hensoldt scope - I've nver used either. Both have a good reputation though. |
cool, I'll be here and am interested in what you'll have to report
