The 4x SUIT or Trilux optic has long been a fore-runner in developing small arms accessories. As an optic rolled out in 1975, the ruggedized prism optic was certainly one of the earliest viable combat optics to be used on a main line rifle.
So how was its effectiveness in the field? Does it really work? Or does it drag down the effectiveness of the L1A1 SLR?
Join us as we discuss shoot the rifle and discuss its performance with Mike ‪@BlokeontheRange‬ !

yep my rifles gas regulator was set at 5 and then had jamming issues, which the instructor said to turn up the regulator to 7 or 8, ( which goes all the way up to 11 ) but still jammed, so had to cycle each round as i was shooting, which i believe that was the only problem with my weapon system when i shot it while in the cadets?

Also i broke the record to dismantle the SLR / L1A1 which i think was 48 seconds and then put it back together in less than 60 seconds, the most important was the gas regulator and making sure the spring does not go flying out of the chanbmer, but other than that, very good for what it was but the au militray did not like it because of the jamming issues, no matter what the gas regulator was set up at from 1 to 11 ?

My father served in the UDR during the troubles in Northern Ireland. He loved the SLR but wasn't a fan of the suit. He really disliked the upside down pointer as " you're not able to see what is behind your target" which in built up urban areas. Where civilians are a major factor, can be a great detriment

Used the UK SLR a lot in my time . I had a SUIT sight installed on my SLR . YES you must do extensive testing because point of aim point of impact does go wonky . You have to understand this for long term engagement at distance with lots of rounds going down range . The SUIT was most developed for Northern Ireland [ Maybe I'm wrong ] On a patrol I had my head out a PIG with my SUIT ready and able … Absolutely ecstatic regarding your channel , reviews and shooting tests .

Goes wonky? Dunno what youre talking about there. 22 Yrs 2 Para, 4 yrs NI with the SUIT sight. Won the Walker Cup (NI), shot at Bisley wth it. I wonder if these lads could get hold of a single point sight used in NI for a while. Excellent snap shooting bit of kit. Fired with both eyes open. Withdrawn cos it encouraged snap shooting rather than aimed shots which went against the Yellow card (YAWN)

I shot the L1A1 while in the cadets at Cerberus AU Navy my score was 98 out of 100 at 500 yards, not bad for a 14 year old. :) Also had the chance to shoot with the F class boys and my first time shooting their weapon systems i was totally blown away witht he systems they had, thought it would be like just hunting rifles etc, but nope totally customized weapon systems 308 and 5.56 rifles, my first score was at 1,200 yards and was 38/50 and then 2nd time round was 48/50 ,and then found out that i had cataract in my right eye as well, now just would like to try again. But again because i got taught how to shoot or should i say the basic marksmanship protocols and also the massive expensive f class weapons did most of the work as well, but sure at those distances i:e 1 KM it was a great results never ever expected those results not at those distances ,love the channel as well, keep up the great work.🙌🙌👌👌👍👍✌✌😀😀

God in that Dessie DPM smock with shirt and tie you look like one of my senior officers.... The SUIT was a GREAT optic for it's time and a genuine game changer. On a rifle that was 4moa with 4moa ammo. Today however the mount system, the glass quality and the optic is just out of date. If they'd just done the mount in a better way... Though on the AR15 mount they are really pleasant. My father loved his on the SLR in the RAF but they were a DM tool by the time he was in.

Henry: your experience (13 minutes in) reflects exactly my own (1979) during pre-deployment training for Military Aid to the Civil Authority (a.k.a. The Troubles) in Northern Ireland: that is, I could shoot with reliable accuracy with iron sights, better than I could using the standard issue SUIT, which I could not adjust to a consistent zero at 100 metres. Woulda made a great monocular. . . . if only I coulda fitted it neatly into a pocket or pouch . . .

I acquired a Trilux scope in the early 90s, put it on my L1A1 and the results were dismal. Mine did not have the Tritium unit due to import restictions but that wasn't the issue. My primary complaint was that I wore glasses and getting proper eye relief was a challenge/impossible and because the scope did not have focal adjustment meant everything through the scope was fuzzy without my glasses rendering the scope worthless. This was brought up by Bloke On The Range. It looked good on the rifle but I was much better off with the iron sights.

I used the SUIT for 9 years, like everything in life if adjusted correctly it works as it was designed too. It was designed specifically for Northern Ireland. Made in Taunton, Somerset

After a lot of experimentation & load development, I've dialled in my 1963 BSA L1A1 to shoot 10 round groups measuring on average 18" high & 10" wide at 600M (660yds). This is using a 3-9x40 scope & 20-30 seconds between shots. Definitely not the most accurate rifle around but that 18"x10" is 'minute of man' which is what it's all about. In comparison, my .270 Schultz & Larsen with the same scope will put 10 shots into a 6" circle at the same distance.

I just watched Blokes video about this optic/setup. Got a feeling this won't do as well as your Scar 16 did! Edit: Also holy crap I'm first on a 9 hole video. Love your content bros, also I like your slate black rail panels but I wish you had more colors like OD green and a lighter tone of FDE =) EDIT2: Wow this did way better than I expected it to. Henry really is talented. Great shooting.

Loved the rifle hated the sight, I was accurate out to 600mtrs on open sights but pretty deadly up to 300mtrs used in anger N.I and Falklands. I still prefair the 7.62 51 NATO any day over 5.56, you didnt get many enemy combatants coming at you after being hit by 7.62 FMJ! like the site many good reviews thanks!

I beg of you to put out a video on the later SUSAT scope! I’ve been trying to find as much information on those as possible. I own one with the standard mount and one with the commercial mount. And no I don’t have an SA80. But they do go on my Spanish CETME LV/S.

the idea behind the upside down post, was so you could shoot at prone targets (less obscured by the post section). used them 78-84. quite a good scope at the time imho.Trijicon use a "hollow" post to work around this, in their current models. used them 78-84. quite a good scope imho

It makes sense to me that the sight aim bar tip is upside down on the SUIT TRILUX rifle sight. If the target ( pop up ) is popping up from the bottom, it makes sense that the aimers views of the bottom field of vision is free of obstruction, allowing free sight (eye) to find any pop up target.

I have never seen so many stoppages with the SLR, are the mags ok? gas settings? I was never a fan of the SUIT because of the crappy way it mounts to the weapon and the parallax error at close-in ranges the SUSAT on the L85 also has the parallax issue at short ranges too.. even with open sights every time an SLR was broken open to clean there is always the risk of a shift in zero anyway, ]and that's before the wobbly rear sight on a heavily worn one, when issued with the SUIT it came with a small green nylon pouch that had a belt loop but no hooks on the back.
