[QUOTE="LouBoyd, post: 297538, member: 9253"] I'd suggest you give some more thought to the realistic ballistics your M1A gives, more on how you indend to use the rifle, and what your personal capabilities to hold and shoot the rifle are. You can spend $1000 to $2000 on a top of the line scope and mount if you want, but I'd bet your accuracy would be improved more if you spend the same money on match ammo and use it to learn to handle the M1A and to dope wind. (308 is is rather wind sensitive). Just about all formal competition using M1As is done with iron sights. After all, the M1A is the semi-auto version of the M14 battle rilfe and the National Match versions exist becasue they are equipped for Service Rifle competition. If you're trying to duplicate an M21 intended to be mostly shot from bags or bipod that's a different story. I'd expect thoough that you'll get as good or better accuracy without a scope (and with practice) if you're mostly shooting unsupported. Your rifle should already equipped with excellent metallic sights. [/QUOTE]
