I recently purchased a M1A Scout Squad. Let me first say I have been waiting several years to get one and it was worth the wait. A fantastic design.
I am wanting to purchase a scout scope for it and mount it on the forward factory rail mount. I really like the scout scope idea for a better field of view for closer engagements and as well as longer distance shots.
I do not want an Aimpoint or Eotech or any cqb sight for this rifle. I have experience with Simmons and Nikon rifle scopes on my hunting rifles. Cheaper optics I understand.
I'm not going to skimp on optics with this rifle it deserves nice glass. I am wanting a Leupold scout scope of some form. It would be used for hunting and target shooting from 25 out to 400 yards.
I have heard that the factory scout rail isn't top tier as well. Am open to any ideas you might share or your similar set-ups. My budget would be around $500 to $600. Anyways I wanted to ask my friends here on the Highroad as there are some knowledgable folks on M1A's. I appreciate your replies in advance. Will be posting a range review and pictures this weekend when I return from the range.
Regards
