definately not a trilux.
I've got one mounted on my DSA flat top. It's way too far forward to be useful. |

If you want the best, I'd recommend a Trijicon ACOG TA11 in a GRSC-modified DSA mount. It even allows the use of your irons for backup!

Before you ask what kind of optic for any rifle you have to state how much are you willing to spend.
All of the BAC equipped ACOG lines offer a 7.62 recticle model. Including the 5.5x TA55C, which would give you distance as far as a .308 can reasonably throw. |

For 400 bucks, I am thinking one of the IOR (Romanian) scopes. Maybe the 5x?

Get a long range scope. The FAL is capable of reaching out deep. If you put a red dot then you might as well stay with an AR.
IMHO, the scope that you put on it is going to take a beating. There is a a lot of recoil with a FAL. My Simmons WhiteTail gave up and committed suicide at the last Great Southern Freedom Shoot. The internals just crapped out. Hey, I knew it was a cheap scope but I didn't think that I'd get only 80 rounds out of it before it perished. Also get some decent rings. I got to watch my scope jump off my FAL because I bought some cheaper than dirt rings. Locktite can only do so much. |

Whatever it is, it needs to be built like a bank vault. My FAL killed two inexpensive scopes (a Bushnell and a Trashco) so I dubbed it the "scope killer" and went back to irons.
Remember, alot of scopes are designed for bolt action hunters who shoot maybe 11 rounds a year--10 to re-zero the gun and one during hunting season. They won't take the punishment of a thousand rounds of semi-auto 7.62 NATO hammering. |

Tell me, how much did it cost to modify the DSA mount? I've got one myself and am looking for a true "SHTF" (ie, combat) optic system for my DSA FAL. I bought a Nikon Buckmasters 4-14.5x40mm scope awhile ago but am not convinced it is a good "battle-type" setup. The ACOG rig looks promising. |

GRSC sells the mount already modified, for $115. The mount starts out as the standard DSA mount, which IMO is the best mount on the market.
The TA11 is a 3.5 power ACOG with BAC, and has one of the longest eye reliefs of all of the ACOGs. IMO, it's perfect for a FAL, which given the good but not great accuracy of most standard FALs, gives the rifle an effective range of 500-600m, while still being quick for close-in shots due to the BAC feature. The ACOG is also military tough, and will have no trouble standing up to a FAL. As several folks have noted, most "hunter" scopes simply won't last long under the use and stress put on them by the volume of fire typical of military rifles. Cheap scopes are a false economy, because they are quickly sent to the landfill, while you then have to buy the scope that you couldn't justify before to replace the $100 scope you junked. -Troy |
