for you guys with scope mounted M1As, is the cheek piece that necessary? I am thinking of mounting a Bassett high rise mount on my M1A standard loaded Springfield Armory so I can still use my irons.
Using a traditional stock, the cheek piece will be needed. The only setup I've used where you could get away without one is when using the ARMS mount and low rings. It still pushes the limits of the cheek weld, but you can get away without using one.
With a Bassett and high rings you'd definitely need one, unless you've got a really tall melon.
if I am gonna need a cheek piece, I will probably just stay with my irons. gotta be a way without cheekpiece, dont see how it makes that much difference, especially with the low recoil of the M1A.
Have you looked at the Springfield Armory mount? Works fine on my SuperMatch, and I can also use the irons underneath. At least on my gun, the mount detaches and remounts with no significant change of zero, and is low enough that the strap-on cheekpiece is optional.
