Stepson wants me to build him an FAL. That's no problem, have all the tools and have built quite a few.
He wants to top it off with a .308 cammed ACOG. He is leaning towards the 3.5 powered model. Is there a big enough difference in the models to warrant getting one over the others?

I know very little about ACOGs. I have one on my midlength 5.56 1/7 rifle and love it.

Thanks for any help.

With a .308, eye relief is going to be a big factor... I would not want to run one of the 4x models on a .308 FAL...

The 3.5 x 35 would probably be one of my first choices...

I had a TA11 on a DSA FAL and it was a challenge to keep that FAL recoil off of my eye....IMO, the FAL is more geared toward a red dot sight, like I said IMO.  I took the TA11 off, added an Aimpoint and this became a fun gun to shoot....If you want magnification, look at the USOptics SN-12, 4x magnification, good eye relief, outstanding US Optics glass, about the same price as an ACOG.

Cheekweld will go to hell with the ACOG since the ACOG base is designed for the heads up position of an A/R. It's really a shame they don't make a really low mount.

That is a pretty cool top cover. I have one of the early railed top covers from DSA on my 18" barreled FAL. Don't have an optic on it, couldn't decide what to put on it.

TA33-9 is what i have experience with on an FAL.

This is a friends rifle but i've run it quite a bit in carbine class's and just general shooting.



Depending on the purpose of the rifle it's a nice setup.



His setup me runing it at a carbine class.

Get the TA33 or the TA11 or do a 1-4x scope.



If we can be of help feel free to ask.
