The 7.62×51 Galil Ace pistol has an 11.8″ barrel and that short length is really going to limit the weapon to less than 200 yards and that is just my opinion because that short length will reduce the velocity of the bullet and there will be more bullet drop at a given distance. A 7.62×51 Galil Ace Is Not A Distance WeaponĪnother thing to point out is that this weapon is not a target rifle by any stretch of the immagination – it’s for close in work. Bottom line is that holographic sights seriously rock when it comes to speed of target acquisition. This is one reason why a good consistent cheek weld is so important with a traditional optic. With regular scopes, as your eye position changes relative to the recticle, the point of impact changes.
No parallax means that no matter how you look at the projected recticle (the hologram), the recticle is on the target. Why? Target acquisition is screamingly fast and you don’t have parallax. In other cases, you are expecting situations where you will need little to no magnification then the UH-1 wins hands down. Why am I bringing this up? Some situations really require variable magnification optics and the 1-6x and 1-8x Strikefires are hard to beat. A 1-6x Strike Eagle weighs 18.5oz and then you need to add at least a basic cantilever mount at 1.3oz, you are totalling 19.8oz. So you are looking at about 20-21oz or just over 1.25 pounds for the combination. All controls are very easy to use.Īt any rate, back to the UH-1, the UH-1 itself weighs about 11oz and the Micro 3X (V3XM) magnifier adds 9.55oz. Here the magnifier is swung out of the way for 1x viewing through the UH-1. The levers clamp very well and have a repeatable zero when removed and re-installed. I like the quality quick release levers they used. I tend to favor 1-6 and 1-8x Vortex Strike Eagles for relatively close in optics – they are light, rugged and allow me to trade off field of view and magnification. Yeah, make fun of me but in talking with a lot of 50+ year old guys, I’m not the only one. As I get older,I find myself needing more magnification for any degree of target shooting as I get closer to 100 yards and beyond. In case you are wondering why I even wanted the 3x magnification, it’s s a simple answer. To be honest, I found myself wishing I’d just bought a 1-4x or 1-6x optic at the time. The combination used a ton of top rail space due to the size of the two parts and it was heavy.
Years back I built an AR-15 and installed both a full size red dot and a full size 3x magnifier and honestly did not like it. By the way, tons of guys go further even without a magnifier but this is just me.īeing a Vortex Optics fan and having read good reviews of their Razor AMG UH-1 optic, I bought one plus the V3XM Micro 3x magnifier. When I was planning the customization of the Ace, I wanted a holographic sight for rapid target acquisition in close, parallax free viewing and also a magnifier to help me out to a hundred yards or so. Niko having fun with the Ace and optic combination. I bought and customized my 7.62×51/.308 Galil Ace Pistol in the Fall of 2019 and just recently was able to take it to the range with my daughter and good friend Niko. Well, the pandemic threw all my plans right out the window including having time to go to the range.
