Scope recommendations for the IWI Galil Ace in 308?

[purdue98]

The current platform for the 308 is utilizing a Nikon M308 scope. This scope works quite well on ranges +100 yards.
The iron sights are adjusted to 50 yards. I would like some feed back on going to a scope for close range yet capable to reaching out further, as needed (100-200 yards). Any recommendations?

Some of it will depend on the eye relief on the scope as to the set up. Tim (Military Arms Channel,) has a video showing that 308 with one set up that was pretty cool as to how the scope sits on the rail in reference to the rear sight. I'm contemplating the same thing for my rifle like yours. My thoughts are a lightweight quick detach rings or mount like a LaRue. Then a Vortex in 1x6 or 1x8 setup. I'm not sure if there is a version with a 308 reticle.

How do you like your Galil? I haven't shot mine yet.

How about an ACOG for a .308. I have one on a Krebs KV13, AK in .308 an I like it.

Thanks for the response. I too am looking at1x6 scope but not sure which way to go. I have a hard time justifying a $$$ scope for a rifle the doesn't get to the range much.
As for the Galil. Wow. IWI hit a home run with this rifle in my opinion. Recoil is not bad. I typically run 168gn Boat Tail (PPU, Federal). honestly, the rifle shoots better than I can. First time break down was a bear but after that, easy to clean.

My step dad has an ACOG because he is retired and has a great deal of disposable income. Me, not so much.
Otherwise, yes. I too would run an ACOG.

Looking for a good affordable 1-6?

This should do the trick for you. https://www.swfa.com/swfa-ss-hd-1-6x24-tactical-30mm-riflescope.html?___SID=U
Just keep in mind, the extra travel to achieve 1-6 means it's not going to be as cheap as a 1-4.

You are perfectly suited for a 1-6. Without knowing a budget its hard to make recommendations, but here is one that is pretty reasonable.

The Galil is an expensive rifle, would just seen wrong to not stick a nice piece of glass on it

1-8 Trijicon, 1-6 vortex razor (which really the gen 2 PSTs are pretty nice and would be the least I’d stick on it). Only downside to the Trijicon would be the 34mm tube but it’s a tank of an optic
