FAL 308s and 300+ yard Soup Cans

[BiGB808]

Ok..So I defnlty know 308s can reach with extreme accuracy on bolt action 308s

Im going to be getting soem new slides for the big FAL..and wondering is there ever "too much " scope?

I have a Leu -vari x 4.5-14 50 mil sitn in a box and feels lonely?

It seems to me i have not seen anything that large put on?

I would love to have a variety of slides..iiron sights -mid range and far range optic options..

thnks for any input

I basically want the option to hit soup cans at 300yds and beyond: )

You can't do that with iron sights? :biggrin: :angel:

ok..how about an egg at 300yds and beyond..

And i mean 1 shot 1 hit...not ur 20 rounds and a hit ; )

I thought this was going to be a post about how many soup cans he shot with his FAL with iron sights?
:rolleyes:

Your scope should be perfect. Unless tuned your choice of weapon leaves something to be desired.
Soup cans at 300? With a match conditioned AR, as long as you could see them you could hit them...with iron sights.

choice or weapon?

Im not a big fan of .223s anymore

and if you mean an ar-10..im in a FAL fiese forum not an ar forum.

I think he meant that in general FALs, while having decent accuracy, may not be the best platform to try to hit a soup can (or egg) with one shot at 300 yards without some accurizing (if that is a word :) )

Don't pay any attention to some of these guys, they're just yanking yer chain.:biggrin:

Scopes? I have an accurized (yep, it is a word) FAL that I put together recently. It wears a Leupold Vari-X III 3.5-10x40 & shoots wonderfully. With Federal Gold Medal Match, I get at least 1MOA or better (trigger is the biggest handicap) at 100yds.

Now yer average run of the mill FAL?? Well, IF you get a good one, you could prolly hit your soup cans, other, 'well worn' rifles won't do much better than 4 MOA & some not even that.

Sure, there are superbly accurate AR's out there, I own several myself but as for the FAL, stick yer scope on it & go for it man!!:bigangel:

Just fer interest sake, what top cover/mounts ya gonna use? I generally use a QD Pro by WAC (out of production/business) & my accurate FAL wears LaRue QD mounts, pricey, somewhat fiddly to assemble but very, very good indeed.:love:

I second that. Ya never know if it'll work until ya try it. Heck you may even find that your particular rifle is accurizable (I definitely made that word up:wink: )

thnx for info..

as far as covers go..well

Im really new to the world of FALs


i was given about 4 covers..

one has a small scope already mounted to it..the bottom of the rings seem to be "welded" on

the other 2 covers are just smooth..no attch points..

then i have one with the picattiny ? style rails..BUT!!..it doesnt slide on to eithe FALs that i now own..seems to b eto wide?..by about a 1/2 a millimeter?...Im not going to hammer it on ..as the other 3 covers slide perfectly on


Im just in here learning..Tonight im going to photo all my parts so ..You guys can help me say whats what..
