I am looking to finally scope my DSA STG 58. I have been shooting irons for a while now and am looking for a little better accuracy at medium ranges. I don't really forsee myself shooting at over 400 yards with this rifle. I like the idea of a 1-4x or 1-6x so I can shoot with some magnification and still dial it back to shoot both eyes open for close in shots. I am not looking to get tiny groups necessarily (it is a fal after all  ), just something to improve more distant shots. I know you get what you pay for but I am really hoping to stay under 300 bucks on this if possible. Any ideas?

Get a Leatherwood CMR, little more than $300, but the quality and features of the scope are astounding for that price.

Personally, I wouldn't even compare those two to the CMR, the reticle types are totally different. It comes down to what you really want to do with your FAL and what type of reticle you prefer.
For a FAL, I'd choose the CMR, since it is calibrated for .308 and .556 ballistic drop.

| At sub 400yds, I'm not sure the difference would be noticeably significant, but you can google a ballistic chart and look at the difference. Also, not sure how accurate milsurp portugese 7.62x51 is compared to modern M80C 7.62x51 or even 168gr HPBT match ammo, so you might want to consider that; again, probably won't matter too much sub 400yds, should be good for Minute of Man. |
