McMillan makes a couple stocks with adj. cheekpieces for the M14..I just sold a brand new one I got for myself, then sold my rifle. They aren`t cheap.. but very worth the money. If you choose to go that route, have it bedded by someone who knows how to work on M14s/ MIAs... you will be much better off in the long run.

I wouldn't underestimate the ability of any well made but low power optic to give great performance at long ranges. May be a low magnification but I have found guys can train their eyes to see sight pictures quite well.
This is spot on....I ran an ACOG ( first a TA01 NSN, then a TA11 with the donught reticle ) on my 3 gun rifle for a while. When I got my hands on the Leupold MR/T 1.5 x 5 its been on it ever since. The scope is really fast for quick target transitions up close, and I can up the power and make hits out to 500 yds fairly easy. I also agree with Gene on the crosshairs over the chevron or triangles..I just cant get used to using them for holdovers when they block out the portion of the target I`m shooting at. Small or partial targets are a pain at times.. even for someone who knows thier rifle well.
