I have an aim point red dot optic on my FAL rifle. While in the military that was the optic they issued me while over seas. I love the aimpoint optic, but decided to look into the low poer ranged scopes myself. I looked at several and found a newer company, Athlon optics, that had a good priced 1-6 in second focal plane. I decided to try their moa version and have to say, I am now a fan of the low powered variable optics.
