Spartan, I really love the M1A but.. If you want a scoped rifle to reach out to 1000 M, would it not be better to build a bolt gun with a cartridge that has a little more horse power.
I have a std issue M1A, and scopes on them, is not worth the efforts IMHO. Most removal mounts sets the scope too high. I have seen one M1A that the mounts was drilled to the receiver, iron sites where not functional. I have tried a burris black diamond on my M1A and ugggggggg, sold the mount kept the scope. Also I got rid of the bi-pod too, just not a bi-pod person (except for heavies) and I like things simple.
I have shot my M1A at a target (2ft x 3ft) with iron sites, at 1000 M, and hit it. I prefer my two bolt guns for long range shooting. One is a Mod 70 is 338 Win Mag, the other a Rem, sendaro in 300 Ultra mag. Just some thoughts or bias' of mine.
