Boston,
Thanks for the warm welcome, and kind words.
I am sorry I missed the opportunity to pop up to WY and train with you...
However, you will be pleased to know I spent a recent weekend working out my FAL from 400-700 yards.
I good friend and I recently added IOR's 1.1-4 BDC optics to the carbines and have had really good results, the BDC works great with both the .223 62gr FMJ and .308 150gr FMJ, and enabled consistent hits.
Here is a squad member taping the target on the 500 yard line. Our shooting position was in the pine trees in the middle of the picture...

Here is a picture of my FAL...

In case you were wondering it is leaning against the tree in the middle.
Thanks,
Cameron
