The sight is not designed as a sniper sight, but was issued to designated marksmen. The sight was mounted on the FN FAL L1A1 Self-Loading Rifle by mainly British and commonwealth countries. The sight has a lever to change between a short range mode (300 meters) and a long range mode (500 meters). the SUIT has a single obelisk-shaped post protruding from the top edge of the sight so as not to obscure the target.

This item is in very good condition from Israeli military surplus.
